I’m going with Buddha on this one...
“It is spoken at the right time. It is spoken in truth. It is spoken affectionately. It is spoken beneficially. It is spoken with a mind of good-will.
“A statement endowed with these five factors is well-spoken, not ill-spoken. It is blameless & unfaulted by knowledgeable people.”
AD1 - It’s literally a quote from the Pali Canon which is 2600 years old and translated from a dead language. But it holds 100% true if you actually read it.
Make sure...
- timing is right
- it’s true, not driven by ego or revenge on someone.
- you present it nicely, not just being an asshole throwing a Molotov cocktail.
- you are doing it so that hopefully it’s of benefit to people at the agency, not some selfish shit to make you feel like you won or got the last word
If you are doing all the above, even if it’s an uncomfortable subject, you can’t be to blame. Even if it’s not well received... at least you spoke your truth in the most skillful way possible
“Are you on mushrooms” what an a-hole
Yes... when I did this though I was very matter of fact about it. Zero emotion.
It doe not matter at all. Either way. HR is a bubble and nothing will change and no one will even know if you raged and screamed. It’s like having your exit interview with the barista on the corner and they shake their head tentatively when you mention names since they feel like they may have heard that name before.
I’ve burned a bridge before. But it was after my official exit convo. Weeks later they sent me an email asking for my singing bonus back after quitting. But I quit because there was a very problematic guy who, as I was told by their HR director “has a history of not working well with women.” All that was part of my exit interview. But then several weeks later they had the gall to ask for the bonus back I told them nope, and that I’d be happy to make my the reason I quit public if they wanted to pursue it any further. Never heard from them again.
No one will care, nothing will change. Tell your therapist if you need to unload. Move on.
AD1 you are the reason creatives hate account people. Instead of supporting, you judge people because they made YOU uncomfortable. You aren’t important!
Always be honest, but with the lens that sadly no change (generally) comes from those interviews. They take the paperwork and file it away.
If anything do it for your own mental clarity and then move on.
Senior Digital Producer- are you on mushrooms? Your response is..awkward...strange and uncomfortable.
Go out in a blaze of your own glory. Be truthful and confident. Anything you say in an exit interview you should be prepared to say to the faces you are talking about.
I wouldn't and it makes 0 difference. It's a method to check if any crazy disgruntled employees are out to get the company by potentially suing later or coming back to the office to go postal. And a platitude. Just get through it and out of there and onto the next chapter of your life.
Who says don’t be honest in an exit interview? You definitely should be. You’re leaving. Why wouldn’t you?
There’s a difference between being on good terms with your direct manager and getting a reference there and telling your company off. Don’t be afraid to be honest sometimes
I think honesty is not a synonym or antonym of constructive. I recommend that you be honest and constructive. Be honest and give tangible examples or suggestions of what would make the place better. If you decide to limit yourself to honestly taking people down, you’ll find it isn’t at rewarding as you think and accomplishes only isolation. If your honesty comes from a place of genuine care, a lot of productive outcomes are possible.
HR does use the info you give them, in a constructive way if it adds to a pattern or is a serious manner. They may not disclose how it works, as you can imagine they have to work behind the scenes.
When you speak with them, you should be calm and seem thoughtful and constructive, as others have said, so they dont perceive you as acting out of momentary anger.
It's important not to bring up small points that could have been misunderstandings, as you are managing the receiver (HR) and dont want them to perceve you as petty.
Focus on the issues, try to stay off of specific people if possible, and have some positive solutions to suggest.
If there is someone who is causing a bad environment, real bad, def call it out. Your colleagues and future people in your shoes will see a change in time or the "bad" person will be made to move along.
At least that's been my experience. Hope it helps to know a little of what happens behind the scenes.
I'm always honest. In the most diplomatic way. I've never burnt a bridge and it's been ex bosses who have reached out to me for nearly every job I've had. I think not being honest is bad advice. Don't be an asshole for sure. But constructive criticism is necessary. If an agency didn't want it then who cares if you burn the bridge? They aren't worth working with.

@SDP1 thanks for that I took a screenshot. ❤️🤙🏼🙏🏼
I've heard stories of HR ignoring the responses to exit interviews. Half the time it's a check the box activity.
I always learned be honest and professional. End it so if you wanted to go back later on, you can, even if you hated the place. But be honest, otherwise they won't know to fix the problem. Pick the top 3 issues and address them, then end with what you did like about
