If he's one of the biggest reasons you're leaving then might as well. That is the purpose of exit interviews, to learn and improve.
If you do, know it's not going to remain confidential. Further, know exit interviews are just checking the box and you'll certainly not change anything with that feedback. Move on.
Hell yes. What do you have to lose?
Sometimes exit interviews make a difference. I had a horrendous PM that wracked up many complaints in HR over the years. She was a giant reason I left. After my exit interview where I completely tore her apart, every PM in the office was interviewed and some processes were revised.
That being said, at the end of the day, she still works there and nothing has really changed. But it made ME feel better.
If you're leaving, I would definitely bring it up. Though how you do so is up to you, directly name names or be more vague.
Please do. Of course!
FUCK YEAH
Yes. If you have a lawyer friend, have them write a letter on your behalf reserving your rights to pursue legal action against the agency for not acting. Then ask for an exit bonus.
Yeah. If they haven't fired him yet, your exit interview is not likely to be the thing that makes them do it. That said, if it will make you feel better, go for it. Why not? And *technically* pretty sure exit interviews are supposed to be confidential, unlike what AD1 is saying. That said *again* it sounds like you and/or others (maybe?) have complained about him so the information is already out there. Exit interview isn't going to make or break it when it comes to that. Plus, in my experience, bullies at one shop can become pariahs at other shops, if word gets around and it should.
Yes. I've had a similar experience in the past. Document it but be professional. It needs to be said in case it happens to someone else - don't say "they promised to fire so and so". But document the mental abuse
But yeah - be professional and factual.
Absolutely say something to HR, but also make a point to tell your Director this person is the reason you leave if you haven't already. Your Director should care if this person is creating unhealthy working environment
100%
Yes
No. Chances are this person will eventually leave, but your exit interview travels with you to every interview you have with any agency in that holding company.
Yes
Yes do it
Yes!
Freelance, I never said they are not technically confidential, they just don't remain so in practice.
This dilemma is very old. It takes experience and mostly internal peace and confidence in stepping 100 miles away from this and looking at the bigger picture. Which is: 1) you're leaving and free to pursue the next chapter, with all of this behind you; 2) 100% nothing will change about this person, but you will work yourself up, potentially overstep with the feedback, and risk making yourself look bad for talking trash about other employees (understand that no one will care if you're right about it, so my advice is to be smart about it instead)
Walk away and don't look back. Karma is right behind you.
Yes. This is feedback that is needed by HR and Sr Management. It may or may not be the straw that broke the camel's back. But it will be a straw.
