Ex-employer did not send my W-2

So I used to work at this small bakery in Colorado and finally quit at the end of November last year. I was there for about 1,5 years and even though the owner is a toxic lady, I tried to end it on good terms giving her about 3 weeks notice and even came in after to help on a day before Thanksgiving knowing how busy it would be. She acted all nice, saying she'll write me a good recommendation letter, which I never got on my last day and I was very busy with moving to another country, so I haven't gotten to contact her again until late December. No reply. Then I emailed her on 3(!) both her work and personal emails, asking once again for recommendation and W-2. Now it's been over 2 weeks since that. I found her on Facebook and messaged her there too, but…


So I used to work at this small bakery in Colorado and finally quit at the end of November last year. I was there for about 1,5 years and even though the owner is a toxic lady, I tried to end it on good terms giving her about 3 weeks notice and even came in after to help on a day before Thanksgiving knowing how busy it would be.

She acted all nice, saying she'll write me a good recommendation letter, which I never got on my last day and I was very busy with moving to another country, so I haven't gotten to contact her again until late December. No reply. Then I emailed her on 3(!) both her work and personal emails, asking once again for recommendation and W-2. Now it's been over 2 weeks since that. I found her on Facebook and messaged her there too, but since we are not friends, the chances of her seeing a requested message are not big. I also gave my MIL my ex-boss personal mobile number last week and she tried calling her, but she never picked up. I was registered on my MIL address throughout my employment, so if she mailed it, it should've come there.

What's worse, two other ex-coworkers who quit before I did, already got their W-2s in the mail weeks ago. And they both had a fight with the owner and left without a notice.

Now I'm very confused and getting annoyed here, because it looks like I'm just being ignored. Didn't want to be petty, but actually having thoughts of adding some bad rating both to her businesses Google and Facebook pages. Even more, maybe even calling health inspection since there were not only mice, but she barely cleans fridges while some cake fillings are stored for months and go moldy.

Should I go ahead and call IRS now or try to track her down hoping her penalty will be bigger the longer she waits?
