Does your organization conduct exit interviews? We used to, but I stopped doing them once I took over. I just found them to be a waste of time. But the new owners want me to bring them back. I guess they're anticipating a bunch of people quitting or something.

We've never done them here, at least as far as I know. I'm in the "waste of time" camp myself. They're only meaningful if 1) people are honest during them and 2) management actually acts on what they've learned through them. I'm not confident either would happen here, so I'm glad we don't bother.

Exit interviews can sometimes reveal patterns that managers may not see day to day. When structured well, they can highlight issues around culture, management, or workload that contribute to turnover.

Never done them at my place either and it’s not something I would be up for doing.

I realized I've been a dummy for getting a job at a creative agency and not working on my portfolio. Most of the projects I've taken on, I've done so as a way to support others without taking much credit for it. Now, a better opportunity came along and I don't have anything to show for my talent as a designer. ALWAYS take credit for what you do, even if it's not your project to begin with.

When you budget for your engagements, what percentage of staff time is your budgeted manager time?

Managers don't reperform the work but have to do a detailed review. Thoughts?
