I agree with everything except the first and possibly second points. It's worth pointing out that just as many employees don't do these things and it is disrespectful, many employers do not take their equivalent social obligations seriously. If an employer had a track record of making decisions that impacted me and only telling me after the fact, I would not trust them to suddenly take my well-being into account after I decided to leave - and I would make the decision to leave long before I told them. I would tell my current employer if I was thinking of leaving and I would change my plans to suit their needs, because they have always been very transparent with me and taken my career goals into account when making decisions. Being respectful gets respect in return.
- dccoolgai 14y agoI had pretty much the same reaction... although I disagree with #6, too ("Give honest feedback in the exit interview"). It's a rookie mistake to use your exit interview to "get even" or "fix all the broken stuff". Smile and gush, "I am so lucky to have worked for a brilliant boss like you...in fact, the only reason I am leaving is I feel the need to share you brilliance with the rest of the world...it's my mission." it will be the last thing they remember about you.
- TallGuyShort 14y agoGood point. I think any feedback that is constructive enough to share in an exit interview could / should have been shared while you worked there. You might have been able to reap the benefits yourself!
