My boss was recently let go, after only having been with the company for 6 months. I wasn’t super sad to see him go as I didn’t like his style — micromanaged, made awkward personal comments to people, had this bullshit “positive and grateful” attitude about everything.
I was also even asked to lead a big meeting during my summer vacation, and it did not go well when I tried to suggest alternatives to me leading the meeting. I emphasized that vacation is important to me and my family comes first, especially in this stressful COVID year, and his reply was “isn’t it also important to have a job for your family?” I took that as some kind of veiled threat, but ultimately decided to let it blow over but back myself up with documentation should I ever need to go to HR about it.
I then smooth things over with my boss, am very careful around him for the next few months, and then BAM. Last week we suddenly find out he was let go.
A few days ago I get a call from him explaining how shocked he was and that he wanted to say a proper goodbye. He also then explained he was fired for not abiding by some regulations but had not received any prior warnings about it. He concluded by asking whether I would write a LinkedIn recommendation for him. I didn’t know what to say in the moment and essentially brushed it off and changed subjects, saying how I realize this must be difficult and that I wish him well.
Today I get the LinkedIn request for the recommendation. I don’t honestly feel like I can do it because of the reasons listed above, but I don’t want to burn a bridge as my industry is small. How do I decline this? Or how can I give some kind of recommendation that isn’t glowing or a lie? HELP!
