Don’t take a job where you’re only in charge of a single line item, e.g. A/R accountant.

You’ll be stuck there the rest of your career. There aren’t good exit opportunities because you only know one skill. You’ll be stuck in A/R or whatever for a very long time. Try to at least get a senior financial reporting accountant role or something that gives you a broader scope of work.

If an employee mentions something disparaging or accusatory about their manager during an exit interview, how would you handle? What happens if what the employee said is slanderous and a “he said/she said” situation? I.e. employee claimed the manager made a disparaging remark about an item of clothing being worn by someone in accordance with their beliefs. If you opt to share the feedback with the manager, would the manager have a legal case against the company or former employee?
