If they were interested in employees’ thoughts, they would’ve asked for and acted on them before you were out the door.

[KellGlamourous]

Watching these type of videos confirm just how toxic corporate structure can be. You can never be honest. It’s all a game 😰.

[wilsonle]

Rule #1 - HR's main job is to protect the company. Under no circumstances should you participate in one. No good deed goes unpunished.

I’m quitting in a couple of weeks and after watching this video, I will NOT be giving an exit interview!
I’ve been with this organization for 12 years and I’m leaving for the exact same reasons 99% of the people have left in the past: dysfunction and toxic environment

[NorthernChev]

Let me sum this up very simply: Politely refuse an Exit Interview 100% of the time. Period. You have nothing to lose by politely refusing. You have EVERYTHING to potentially lose by going. Don’t do it. No matter the terms, good or bad, that you are leaving.

When I leave a work place, it’s because the management screwed over me or someone else. I’m a long~term type of employee. I’m talking 15 years of my life employee. One day I was called into my manager’s office and ambushed by three managers. I knew this was it. After about 10 minutes of listening to their bullshit, I stood up, took my name badge off, laid it on the her desk and said, “I quit.” I calmly opened her office door and walked. I heard my boss say, “This is not what I want!” Well, too late. Never once had I received a poor performance right up. So, I took six months off, paid off everything I owed and moved to Florida near a beach. Got a job in no time and simply shut the door on my past workplace. Even had I given them notice, an exit interview would’ve served absolutely no purpose. I do not recommend that anyone exit the way I did, but I had the money saved and it felt so damn good!

Anyone ever feel like the entire reason toxic atmospheres, crap management, and poor work environments continue to exist is because we, as employees, are basically strongarmed into kissing ass and pretending everything is great so as to not hurt the precious fee-fees of the higher ups, and suffer retaliation?

They do an Exit Interview for one thing only, that is to try and see if you have any intentions of hitting them with a law suit of any kind . If they get you in that interview, the things you say can and will be used against you. They could care less about how your time with the company was. If you are smart, just skip the exit interview so they have no ammunition to use against you via your own words if you decide to pursue any possible legal action against them in the future. Remember, they didn't care about you while you worked there, and that hasn't changed at an exit interview.

The safest option is to opt-out of a exit interview. If your company truly valued employee feedback, and cared about improving the work environment, they would have done so beforehand to prevent employees from walking out the door to begin with.

[tedwojtasik]

I love exit interviews, they are fun and mine last around 90 seconds and never get beyond question #1. I simply reply, "why am I leaving? Well, my lawyer will be calling corporate and filling them in on my reasons...have a nice day 🙂" You should see the look on HR's face. Simply priceless.

[susancortes]

I really love this video, this and the "hr is not your friend" is really eye opening

Left too many jobs over my years of employment. When asked to do an exit interview I ask them to give me the questions in writing XX days before my final day and I'll answer them. Each answer is the same - 'Decline to State' . If they didn't want my input while I was there 40 hours/week and they were paying me $$$, I can't see why they'd want them as I'm walking out the door for the final time. Just be polite, don't say anything negative, and you'll be OK.

Hi Jennifer! Tomorrow is my exit interview from my toxic job. I just wanted to say thank you for your helpful and relatable information. Your channel was definitely one of the factors that made me decide to submit my resignation without having another job lined up. I had another company recruit me 2 days later, interviewed and offered the job 6 days later and accepted the position 10 days after submitting my resignation... for significantly more money!!!

Thanks again for the valuable tips.. I am dreading the exit interview tomorrow. But this will absolutely help me remain diplomatic tomorrow!!

[swinggether]

I have done all the "do not's". Never once had a regret doing it. Never once negatively effected my chances of advancement opportunities either. And I, for the most part, refuse to give notice. They find out on my last day.

[dancingshade]

I remember when I was younger. I happily participated in an exit interview with my first employer. I remember I called out individuals who were tough to work with and all the gripes I had with the job and workplace. I did not hold back.

It's safe to say, I burned that bridge, but I haven't regretted it since. I probably wouldn't do it again though.

[Hmd]

The one thing I know about HR is that they are there to protect the company. So, they’re not interested in really understanding why you’re leaving. They just want to ask you questions that could help them prevent any kind of fallout or legalities from your departure. If given the choice to do or not, personally, I have an issue holding my tongue so it would likely be best for me to skip! But if you can give these cookie cutter answers with a straight face, def do. I left my last job and made all these mistakes and while I didn’t experience consequences, it changed nothing about the company or how they treated their employees. It just made me look like an a-hole.

I had an exit interview from a previous job. I was brutally honest about why I was leaving. I did not like one of the owners coming into my office when he screwed up and started dropping F-BOMBS in my direction.

Where was this video in 2009 when I quit Comcast? My exit interview was an hour long and I put everyone on blast

[rebeccajones]

A friend of mine is benefitting from her peers leaving because they are finding opportunities to work from home, and now her employer is finally taking permanent remote work seriously.

[SwatiSharma-lint]

I just wonder why companies even bother asking these questions if they will be receiving false/sugar coasted answers in return.
