You will have to decide, but in my experience, don’t burn a bridge! What good will this do you? Will it change a thing for you or for the future? Probably not! If you are resigning, just do it politely and go! That way there’s no hard feelings if anyone calls them!

Honestly, nothing beneficial will happen if you tell them the truth. You run the risk of burning bridges & potential references, plus the soon to be former employer won't change based on your feedback.
I disagree. When I resigned from my job I told my boss and HR which poor ways of working drove me to the decision, respectfully. I didn’t belabor it. Not only did they thank me for sharing that information they rehired me later down the road and when they did they mentioned in my interview that those processes has since improved.
I think it’s all in how you do it. Be general, non specific and diplomatic.
Oh wow, that’s good to know!

I think it's best to smile and leave a blameless official letter. You may gain some self-satisfaction and relief by dumping on these people as you go out the door but it can come back in ways that you probably couldn't even think of right now. Not worth it.
You’re right. Thanks for pointing this out for me. I’ll leave it off the letter
Noooo - they don’t need your truth. If they were that sort of place, this would not have happened anyways.
I would not put it in the letter or mention to your boss unless they specifically ask you.
No don’t do it! I wrote a diplomatic generic resignation letter, although I quit with RAGE cause of my micromanaging from hell like devil supervisor. My supervisor immediately knew I was quitting cause of her, the senior leadership team tried to offer me the job back but I said no. If they can’t help you or try to see the damage of what that micromanager is doing, it’s time to move on.
Yes, honesty is the best policy. Pour your heart out. That will show em who is boss.

Why? If it’s true, they will be butt hurt and May sabotage you. Why take that risk. There is no law that says you have to give a reason for resigning. You just have to give enough notice.
Tell them the truth but in a respectful way.
