As a rule, politely decline the exit interview. It's a waste of time. If the employer cared about you, then they would have asked you those questions long before your resignation.

[hiftu]

Don't talk to the police.
Don't talk to the HR.
Don't talk to lawyers unless it is yours.

[tom-cox]

It never makes sense to try to fix an organization you're leaving. Learned that the hard way a long time ago. Great Video!

[brucelytle]

I was brought in for an "exit meeting" when a company fired me without explanation. The feeling was mutual, to say the least.
They told me that I was fired, I said OK and got up to walk out. They told me that they wanted me to stay for an exit interview. I told them (as I continued walking) that I didn't work for them anymore, buh bye!

[monterreymxisfun]

Keep the name of your new company a secret, especially on social media. Don't give the company an opening to interfere with your new employer, especially if you have a non-compete.

[whyyeseyec]

The purpose of an exit interview is for HR to get an inkling as to whether you're going to sue the company for a supposed injustice - real or imagined. That's all they're worried about. They could care less that you're leaving.

[rogerbartlet]

Exit Interview: I tell them what a wonderful, lovely company they have! I tell them their management is top notch, talented and highly competent! I express the great sadness I have leaving, but feel my new role seems better suited to my growth path at this time. Then, wave bye-bye and go get a drink.

[heteroerectus]

I was feeling guilty for quitting, my office director did my exit interview. In the interview I found out I had overestimated him greatly, I thought he had been acting dumber than he was in order to come off less threatening to adversaries, but he revealed in our conversation that he was even more bumbling than he appeared. I felt much better about leaving after learning this.

best reason not to do it:
it's not required
second best reason not to do it:
nothing is likely to change

When I left companies, (And I did more than I care to admit) I never planned on returning, so burning a bridge wasn't an issue. Just glad to be retired after working 46 yrs and now collecting S/S and pension, and soon dipping into 401K. Living the dream.

[bernsfindsandmore]

Thanks for the tips. I was a Manager that had high turn over but I was glad that my former employees always completed the exit interview cause they provided insight as too much work for little pay. This was helpful to go against the upper management that stated it was my tyrant style of management. Their faces when the exit interview comments were read as to why they left and how much they love being in my team was

[dodsonarmsco]

Exit interviews are a tool used to classify people as not to be rehired, then they give negative feedback to any future employers.

[HowdyMcPickles]

The company I quit engaged in widespread abuse of employees, rampant sexual harassment, company-wide embezzlement, and multiple violations of federal and state wiretap laws. I gladly did the exit interview and I unleashed hell upon them during it. Even if it meant staying homeless for the rest of my entire life, I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat.

[EventHoriXZn]

Your point at 6:54 and after perfectly nailed what I was thinking. There really should be no good reason why your superiors shouldn’t already know. If they don’t, it’s because they’re either not paying attention or don’t care. To them, that’s the primary issue.

[cityofclay]

I once left a job because the manager was a psycho. They offered me an exit interview, not with HR, but with the same psycho manager (highly irregular). Hard pass.

[jackcarraway]

I remember I did an exit interview at my first IT job. HR lady begged me not to go a negative review on Indeed because "our reviews are really bad."

Should have told her "Not my problem."

[lizzi]

I was advised by a colleague to avoid saying anything negative about the boss/department/organization in an exit interview if I ever wanted to return to work at the organization in the future. Good advice, as I did return a few years later.

[gracecase]

I have done exit interviews and tell them bare minimum. They had a chance to ask when I was still working. I stay positive. You never know who is connected to who in a future situation.

[earthsteward]

Thanks! Companies should be getting feedback while the employees are there, not when they are leaving.

[mithicash]

Yep, I am 27 and only had 2 jobs outside the military and I have been blatantly honest about why I leave. Both times it was a compensation issue. My latest was a great job for me, I loved it and the people but I was getting paid 52k/yr and my colleagues doing the same job were getting paid 75k/yr. Both are peanuts in Commiefornia, but It was just insulting. I realized why that job had a high turnover(5 people in 3 years). It was an Air force contractor job. Now I work directly for the government and moved to Iowa. Literally went from 45k to 75k within 2 years plus all the benefits and the standard of living halved!
