The recommender feigned interest in my growth but turns out, they wanted me to fail. Despite walking them through the LOR process and strategy on writing a good one, they ghosted me and submitted a last minute, completely thoughtless letter. They are now pestering me to get an update so they can gossip about my failure. Really disappointed and hurt, because I thought they were a true friend and someone who would vouch for me. So choose wisely folks. Think twice and thrice about whether this is someone you can trust
Coach
Maybe they're not a good writer? Did you coach them on what you wanted them to say?
Coach
This happens more than people realize. Always request to see the letter. If they don’t want to share, that’s a big 🚩.
Also didn’t see either of my LORs (recommenders didn’t want to share) and got an invite to both HBS/GSB

Sorry OP. Best of luck on the rest of applications and round 2 if necessary.
Happy to share sample LOR packets if you need in the future. Feel free to DM.

I learned this lesson the hard way when I applied for my Masters.
I reached out to my manager 3 months before the LoR was due. She was well aware of the task and the exact process. Note that we had a good WLB, so nothing like she was putting in 80+ hrs and than had a LoR for an employee on top. Maybe 40/50 hours a week.
Days go by….
Weeks went by…
I followed up with her and she assured me it was coming along well.
2 weeks before the submission date.. nothing.
1 week.. nothing. (I followed up every week).
Boom 2 days before the submission date, she said she did not have the bandwidth to do so.
I was lucky since I had someone else lined up, looking at how things were going.
But people! Make sure you stay on top of these things and are well prepared. Some individuals do not understand the importance of such letters as you do.
