yup come to work in the AM somebody is there you don't know cuz officialy it takes 2 of them to can you
Its doesnt necessarily have to be like that, the other guy they canned who I had worked with for 30yars went for a 2hr breaky with the manager who I had also worked with for 30yrs
They sat around for 2 hrs & drank a lot of coffee sounded way more civil
it felt pretty weird to be " retired " after 30yrs, i was so distraught i never worked again ;)
I’ve done a few of these.
Don’t bitch to vindicate yourself. Bitch to save the people you’re leaving. If you look at it that way, you’ll be more constructive.
Be professional. People call around.
There was a well known response to a reference check in my former industry:
the former employer would use the word “eggplant” in the convo to signal to the prospective employer that they wouldn’t hire the person again.

Bruno Perdoni was the QB of my High School's football team a couple years after I graduated. I went to the Thanksgiving game and Bruno threw a long pass that was dropped. This big Italian-looking guy in the stands yells, "Perdoni, that kid's got an arm like a fuggin' eggplant!"
For 40 years I've been wondering what that means but now I guess it just meant he wouldn't hire him. Huh.
Big Italian guy I’m thinking he meant moulinyan but used the more polite English language version. Stealth racism.
But now I’m hungry for moulinyan parmigiana
I say, always refuse the exit interview!
Why give someone such a personal look into your life and let them stand above you and judge your reason for leaving?
Especially if you had a psycho boss that will try to use the exit interview as an opportunity to humiliate you.
You don't owe them an explanation. It's not confidential, either. The best explanation is nothing. Don't expose yourself to risk if you don't have to.
Let them remember you for something other than your reason for leaving.
And if you really really HAVE TO get it off your chest, post it anonymously on Glassdoor or something.
Better yet, talk to a therapist about it instead of your ex-manager.
The fat-gut skinny-arm bad-beard dweebos one table over from me at lunch are talking about boat things, brother-sister-verse-quoty-churchy things, and business. Specifically the merits of the exit interview over the exit survey, and how it aids in the staffing strategy.
Fuck these guys, do not aid them.
Right? Why would you reveal such intimate personal thoughts to these dorks? Especially if you still have to deal with them in your industry.
Imagine negotiating with them later when all they can think about is "larilinesign quit her job because she couldnt get along with someone" bleh bleh bleh.
Cuz it'll help the business improve? You been improving the business for years. Just slip out without a word.

"Why do you want to hear me now? If you had been listening before, I wouldn't be leaving."
THAT is my exit interview.
