I remember doing an extremely painful one back in the day. I was leaving because relations had already broken down but i had no particular desire to burn any more bridges than i had to. So they got the only person who didn’t already know me on the HR team to do it. I felt sorry for them, they might as well have been twelve and had zero context for the conversation.
Q: Did you feel like a valued member of the team?
A: I chose to leave.
Q: (getting pretty exasperated by this point) Would you care to expand on that.
A: No.
Grief, it was painful and i remember it to that day. But yes, the moment you’ve handed in your resignation, that part of your life is over. There’s literally no upside in doing anything other than smiling and getting out of the door.

From a purely selfish point of view, you're usually right. That said, if the organization is functional, (and yes, I know that's a big 'if',) such an interview with a departing team member can provide valuable feedback that might lead to improvements for the remaining team members.
- loloquwowndueo 1y agoIf the organization is functional you can give the feedback _before_ it gets bad enough that you have to quit - and feedback gets actioned to improve things.
- nickff 1y agoPeople quit for all kinds of reasons unrelated to the functional of the organization (child-rearing, desire to live somewhere else, better offer, etc.).
