Why be angry? I think the chances that this has NOTHING do do with your daughter are very, very high.

Horrible things are happening at my workplace right now with lots of firings. A temp worker is just collateral damage in a much bigger drama. Tell you daughter that she was likely not the target at all, but instead a by-product of some other power play. If this is indeed the case, it could explain your neighbor’s silence. After our last mass firing, the staff wouldn’t even meet anyone’s eyes in the hallway. Everyone “went to ground”. If things are very weird there, your neighbor is probably being smart by being silent.

As she doesn’t have his email, just drop him a written note with the tone as suggested - thanks, learned a lot, appreciate the opportunity, keep me in mind, can I use you as a reference in the future.

No harm, no foul with the neighbors. The workplace is very tense these days with people scrambling to hold on to their jobs. Temp workers just get buffeted by the winds of fortune. It not about you!
