Is it taboo in an exit interview to divulge you are leaving your position because of your direct report? I felt forced out because of her constant degrading comments though my business partners praised my work performance constantly. When I exited after 1 year for a new role I decided to be honest with the director on why he couldn't keep anyone in the position for over a year. I expect retaliation will soon follow.

The only thing you would gain in telling them that is feeling better for 30 seconds about your dig. In the meantime, it wills be a red flag for the person interviewing you as they would draw any number of conclusions (e.g., you’re a complainer, difficult to manage, self-righteous, backstabber, etc.) from your comment, none of them good.

It really depends on the director. If he is looking for root cause, then your thoughts would be helpful. I always want my employees to be honest as otherwise I can not direct change.

I’ve had radio silence from a small investment bank for about a week now. I’ve completed several rounds of interviews, but last Thursday the firm reposted the job I’ve been interviewing for. On Friday the headhunter said that they’re not sourcing new candidates and it’s probably just LinkedIn automatically refreshing the listing. She said they had a busy week last week but will make a final decision this week - is the delay and radio silence a bad sign or is this typical for experienced hiring?
