New job,Exit interview

I think the OP is itching for the satisfaction they may feel from telling the d...head production manager where to go. Justifiably. You can do this professionally. In the exit interview, be very grateful for all you have learned in the company and say you have learned so much from your supervisors etc. If they ask, which they should, what could be improved or something along those lines, then politely say that you would change some administration processes to save time and encourage more motivation of the hard working staff. That might indirectly make it clear that there is a problem up the line. (They probably know). Then go to the production manager and thank them so much for all their help which enabled you to move and progress. They probably hate their job and are mad jealous of you moving.

I know generally what you mean and if you do decide to communicate something then often a damning with faint approach can work better.

But really, no matter what your reasons are, no one actually cares.

Let it go op, it's the healthiest thing. In 4 weeks time it will be a distant memory.

Good luck in the new job.

Really! You think they'd follow up on an employee's recommendations and concerns! I reckon the only reason they'd do this is to mitigate against any future potential legal action.

The company pays the HR Piper so they call the tune.

Isn't that what I said??

I used to think the same op tell them the truth, what should be differ etc, but being honest they don’t care. Now, when I’m leaving somewhere like that I very politely decline an exit interview, when asked why I just tell them that there’s no point

Hi OP,

Haven't read the entire thread but I think you've made your mind up. Anyways I've conducted exit interviews in a previous company as the HR manager, I like exit interviews, often people have ideas of how to make the company better, I've implemented stuff that was suggested in exit interviews. Exit interviews are generally strictly confidential however I wouldn't trust it to be that way depending on the company and people involved. If you think you can add something productive that you think the company will act on and make things better for your friends and colleagues that remain then yeah absolutely do the exit interview. If the only thing you wish to discuss is bullying etc. I would leave it. Truth be told the company probably knows and doesn't care (my experience) and bullying is difficult to deal with especially if no one is interested in doing formal complaints and interviews over the matter, my company had a huge bullying problem in the UK I reported to directors and they ignored me including people being bullied for their skin colour. They didn't want to touch managers that would be hard to replace. If you really want to tell HR of the bullying problem I guess set up a fake email address and send HR an anonymous email I guess or advise colleagues to complain and agree to be a witness if required but I would probably just drop the bullying thing entirely, the company will find out in time if it's worth holding onto them

Having an experience of "exit interview" in some companies it consists of a chat with the manager and filling up a form (reason for leaving/comments) and that's it. Heckler worked in manufacturing company so it could be that there is no HR involved and the chat will be with one of the bullies ticking the boxes.

It would depend on the position held at the time of leaving, too.

This will go into the employee file (without even being read by HR if it even exists) and will be shredded after statutory time passed. That's my experience.

Well? Did you tell them to go fuk themselves? Out in a blaze of glory?

Or was it all tea and crumpets and chit chat about the unseasonably cold weather?

Don't have a union. I stated my grievances every day to my team lead and supervisor as I was told to do if I had a problem. They both knew exactly where I was coming from but higher than supervisor level the managers don't want to know about it and didn't care about changing anything.

Anyways notice given. I finish tomorrow week, am training in a replacement. Have a week off and will be starting the new job after the May bank holiday.

No mention of an exit interview so unlikely to happen.

I appreciate all the replies. Its just so frustrating to see such poor management and a demoralised workforce.

Thanks again for all the advice.

Besta luck

Don't. It'll feel good for a few minutes, but has no real upside for you.
