First agency job, I was 24, worked there for about 1.5 years. Mentioned I was leaving cause the VP was so toxic / harassing etc. First time they heard about it. They started investigating, she was fired 6 months later and they discovered she committed fraud for ~500k over the years.

That’s crazy.

Has anyone made a “tea” joke yet???? If not let me know! Mine is totally original!

I am always brutally honest, but I don’t say anything negative about anyone I’m going to use as a reference in the future (like a boss that I had a good relationship with). But the agency in general or especially toxic people? I drag them all the way down. I’m not convinced that nothing happens with the exit interview info - If enough people quit because one person is a horrible teammate or manager, that will eventually reflect poorly on that person. I’ve seen that happen multiple times!

I was leaving a job and HR threw my manager under the bus for some things and said that she was taking major heat for my leaving.

I’ve worked been around in the industry 15+ years - literally the only time I’ve seen HR care [still powerless, but showed enough empathy to acknowledge I had been screwed]

But of course, HR didn’t do anything about it b/c they exist to protect leadership and the company. Never regular employees.

My exit interview was honest. HR did a HR job; recorded it, documented it, and filed it away. Unfortunately, for them my exit interview is what resulted in a settled out of court agreement for another employee. Shame had they took action on the exit interview, it wouldn't have been why they lost a ton of money.

I mentioned that most people on my floor are gossipy, and I’ve seen some people being racist towards someone - and how that traumatized me as a junior employee. I didn't drop any names, and I didn't know if they acted on it. But.. I do feel something happened because one of the main characters in that racist story I mentioned left the agency after a couple of months and viewed me on LinkedIn out of nowhere. I can’t say I regret it, but I think I burned some bridges by doing it :)

like

That’s why I don’t regret it. I do feel a lot of people got upset with me - but it’s okay.

I was severely micromanaged and it crippled my ability to do my job, or to improve. The manager dismissed my constructive criticism during the exit interview. Now I have much more freedom where I’m at, and I’m thriving!

Asking for a friend:
My friend received two job offers for Account Executive roles: a Mid-Market role with Confluent and an Enterprise role with ThoughtSpot.

Confluent is a lucrative product to sell and has established SDR reps so there’s a good blend of inbound and outbound sales. Thoughtspot is more of a startup culture where most of the sales comes from outbound and it’s a tougher sell.

I am a young professional... But every job interview I’ve had so far pretty much just wants to know what kind of person I am. They are as interested in my leadership/communication as much as they are in me talking about my experience.

Is this how it will always be? Or is this predominantly because I am in lower positions at this point in my career?
