I don’t understand how exit interviews are a thing. Why would anyone go to one? I’m leaving the company, I don’t owe you shit. Hell, I stopped putting in 2 week notices 20 years ago. These corporations don’t care about me so I don’t care about them.
I’ve had exit interviews, and I’ve had jobs where I wish there was an exit interview. It’s possible to give feedback without burning bridges, and I don’t think I’ve ever left a job on bad terms.
sometimes you leave on good terms. Might give them some things to improve (although I’d say that should happen continuuously, ideally. not just at the end)
Exit interviews are a signature quest. They need you to sign some NDA so you can’t bitch about the reeeeally sketchy stuff your boss did.
If they pulled a guy out of a meeting - his meeting - to fire him, those cruel fucks deserve nothing from me but a glance in my rearview.
My last resignation was via a note added to my file on the way out. I left another job with Friday plane tickets and a go-bag and was starting work on Monday in a new time-zone.

Are you kidding, I love going to exit interviews. Its where you can say, in great detail and without reprisal, exactly why the company sucks.

See my favourite is when they do the exit interview and then after try and make you sign an NDA.
I have a policy to never sign anything that isn’t contingent to me getting a job. Since I’m leaving, I ain’t signing shit.
A chance to vent about your boss in hopes they get demoted?
Come on man, that’s petty as fuck.
And again, I’m leaving so my ex boss is not my problem anymore.
Yeah, it is great! And since I have empathy I understand my ex-boss will be someone else’s problem.
