Actually, I found both of those suggestions to be perfectly reasonable. I try to shoot for 4 weeks when giving notice. If my employer doesn't want me hanging around that long, see point 3. Note: I've never been contractually obligated to give any notice. As for feed back, the fact is, you're leaving for a reason. You're, so to be, former employer really is, generally, interested in the reasons for your decision. Especially if it's "I don't like being managed by person X." Sometimes it's just an isolated personality conflict, often, though, there's bigger issues and your employeer isn't interested in loosing more good employees due to poor management. I've also been in a situation where one of the reasons was "I don't like being managed by person X," and conveying that in a polite, non-judgmental, way wasn't difficult. While my exit interview was with that manager, I also requested a meeting with the CEO (small startup, so it really just a matter of "Hey, <CEO>, can we do a one-on-one before I leave). In fact, I would argue that the most important point on this list is the one about feedback.
