Exit interviews are an HR tool to analyze how likely you are to bring an action against the company. They aren’t for you. Smile, say thank you, and be on your way. Nothing you say will change anything.
Better yet, decline to participate.
Hello- Thank you- Goodbye is the formula
I know the common wisdom is they’re pointless, but I’m in a management role at my firm and the talent team will actually come to us about negative feedback people give at exit interviews. If they hear the same negative feedback a lot, they do expect some kind of plan to address how people are apparently feeling. I don’t know that I’d get into the specifics of the manager but I think I’d mention the RTO policy and maybe id say something about firm culture if I was feeling bold.
It may well help a firm fix issues leading to attorney leaving the firm, but once you’ve decided to leave that does very little for you. By contrast there is a very real chance that anything you say will harm relationships you may need to call on in the future. Thus, the wiseman says thank you so much for the opportunities, I’m really going to miss everyone and hope to stay in touch…[exits stage left].
Say very little. Management does not care. Exit interviews are “check the box” for hr. For example, A2, who is in a management role at his/her firm doesn’t want to know about the bad manager.
Nothing will come of it so it’s not worth burning a bridge. I think it’s safer to mention RTO since that’s a policy
I left a company after a surgery that required 6 weeks recovery. I was not paid beyond PTO. I left along with 4 other valuable employees because of a bad manager. They knew. An attorney from legal was on the call. So I played nice and got them to make my ending date the 1st of the next month so I would have health care for another month. Put it in your rear window.
Don’t risk burning the bridge. You may be able to mention the RTO policy without getting too personal, but I would avoid discussing the bad manager
I would probably leave it alone, but I’m in employment law and I’ve seen plenty of employers who pay attention to legitimate issues raised about managers in exit interviews. If the manager is abusive/discriminatory/harassing and you care about your co-workers, it might be worth it.
Pro
You should ABSOLUTELY let them know about a harassing manager! By having your lawyer send a demand letter….
Is the manager a rain maker? If so, do not comment; it will do no good. Even if they do not bring in a substantial number of clients, it is not worth burning a bridge. RTO is a currently hot button item for many firms. Additionally, our occupation, as with many, is a very small place to be at times. You never know who knows whom, or if a vindictive attorney decides to deride you and your work product due to gossip that came to their ears at a seminar. Difficult to do at times, but I suggest you let it go.
