I worked at a company for 3 months and I've moved since I last worked there. I called them and gave them my updated address and I still haven't received my W2. I don't have the last pay stub. Should I go ahead and file without it?

If you still do not receive your W-2 by February 14th, contact the IRS for assistance at 800-829-1040. When you call, have the following information:
Employer's name, address, city, and state, including zip code.
Your name, address, city and state, including zip code, and Social Security number
If you misplaced your W-2, contact your employer. Your employer can replace the lost form with a “reissued statement.” Be aware that your employer is allowed to charge you a fee for providing you with a new W-2.
You still must file your tax return on time even if you do not receive your Form W-2. If you do not receive the missing information in time to file, you may file you may use Form 4852, Substitute for Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement. Attach Form 4852 to the return, estimating income and withholding taxes as accurately as possible. There may be a delay in any refund due while the information is verified.
If you receive a Form W-2 or W-2C (corrected form) after you have filed your return using Form 4852, and the information differs from what you reported on your return, you must amend your return by filing a Form 1040X, Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return.

No, contact them again and find out what the status is on your W2 first.
If they fail to send you one, call the IRS and file a missing W2 complaint. The IRS will assist in securing your W2 or provide guidance on using alternate documentation to prove your income and withholding.
If you go the alternate documentation route the processing of your return will be delayed as the IRS tries to verify the information that you provided.

I would contact the employer again. If you don't know how much you made and how much tax you paid you are just spinning your wheels. The IRS would pick it up immediately and might assess penalties for the willful failure to report income.
