I was brutally honest in my exit interview. I gave clear examples of toxic leadership, gaslighting, poor communication, and suggestions for improving team morale. Stuff people had whispered about for months. The HR rep smiled, took notes, thanked me for my transparency and then I found out the manager I called out got promoted two weeks later. It made me feel like I wasted my breath. Has anyone actually seen an exit interview lead to real change? Or is it just a checkbox for companies to pretend they care?

Exit interviews are where truth goes to die. They just want to know how much trouble you’ll cause on the way out not how to fix anything. If they cared, those toxic leaders wouldn’t still be there.

From what I understand, Progressive does them so they know if they’ll ever take you back or not if you try to come back. At least that’s what I’ve been told by my leader now who left for several years and came back.

Never ever do an exit interview. It’s not an employee satisfaction survey. They are checking to see if there is anything you might have a claim for.

It's a checkbox to say that the company conducted an exit interview. They don't care.
