Put my 2 week notice in last week, just received the following email from HR:
'Below is the Exit Interview form you’ll use and then submit prior to your Exit mtg with XXXXXXX – please put 30 mins of time on her calendar prior to your last day.'
I need to schedule my own exit interview?! They can suck it! Side note, the HR person they want me to schedule time with provided me grossly wrong info on number of sick days I had, when I had to take medical leave last year. Asshats.

The only thing I’ll say is always, always leave on a high note. You never know who you’ll encounter again at another agency or who you’ll need as a reference who knows whom when you need an intro. Never say never.

D1 Nothing official but for sure the details of exit interviews go to the Managers Manager, sometimes gets discussed at that level if anything of note, and could harm the individual’s reputation with that small group of potentially influential people. IE decision makers. (Especially if you assume that people’s seniority relative to age cohorts doesn’t vary that much over time, so in the musical chairs of adland the same people may well be on the end of a hire decision of the same person in a different agency at a different point in time.)

I say this, as in multiple organisations I’ve been in the forums where this information comes up. Usually a leadership team meeting where the leaver is flagged and the group wants to know why and any associated context. Anything beyond a dull response will get discussed.

Yeah that’s a no. Fill out the form and if they want to chat, the onus is on them.

Maybe they mean schedule yourself 30 minutes to complete the form? As in, take time out of your last day and let us know when youre ready?

Not taking their side, Im sure theyre terrible, but that would be a nice spin on it

My wife and I are considering relocating to a new city. I’ve been working with a recruiter who (I thought) gave me a good lay of the land. Which firms to meet with re lateral opportunities, which to avoid, etc. I’ve since spoken with a friend who has connections at other firms that could be a better fit. Do I bring in my recruiter or reach out through connections? Is using a recruiter beneficial to me, or am I better off on my own? How does their fee play in to what I could get as a package?

The partner said because I joined the firm later in the year, it’s normal not to advance in the next year. Is it? Thanks!
