> Does it actually even happen often that people who leave jobs under hostile or negative circumstances ask for recommendations? It's not called a "recommendation". It's "Arbeitszeugnis" which translates to more of a testimonial or certificate making it a kind of must have. Not having it would be like finishing school without having grades. So yes, it's especially a big topic in hostile or negative circumstances as it's (even the wording) usually part of an agreement at the labour court.
