What’s the point of exit interviews really?
I had an exit interview earlier this year. All the constructive criticism I had, I had already given, during my tenure. And as Jacob alludes to, there’s no point in venting in an exit interview.
- Sohcahtoa82 5y agoI've always assumed the point was that an employee on their way out would be more forthright in providing honest and candid feedback since they're no longer worried about getting fired, and they would use that feedback to reduce further turnover. But seeing how rarely that feedback is acted on, yeah...I'm failing to see the point in exit interviews.
- swagasaurus-rex 5y agoThe biggest underlying issue seems that no feedback is acted on.
- cpach 5y agoYep. This is my take though: Why depend on exit interviews to try to gather (or pretend to gather) important information about your organization? It’s much better to foster an organisation where people can voice their opinion while they’re still employed.

- flog 5y agoDitto. I assumed it was an opportunity to document any legally problematic reasons that drove you to quit so they could get ahead of them, or reinforce their case for firing you.
