Exit interview after you resign
-
Some companies practise exit interviews.
If you resign solely because your immediate superior is being difficult to you and your staff all the while, will you tell the truth at the exit interview, conducted by some senior management ppl? -
Whatever you say will be recorded and your future company may ask for it
Careful on your choice of words -
for the sake of the company, tell the truth.
for ur own sake, pls dun be too honest.

i am going to have one pretty soon.
but i would not say bad things about my co-worker or superior.
reason is simple enough: singapore is a small place...you would never know when you would work with them again in the future. it's good to have one more friend than one more enemy.
the exit interview might be conducted in a 'confidential' environment, but you cant be too sure
That's my personal view...

I exiting too, but I dun tink such interview is needed. Afterall its temp.
I am looking forward to the more noble work! -
Senior Mgt? Never
HR - Depends. But hold many things back. -
i saw this in a career portal
"Your job is to make the CEO's life as easy as possible. Manages her diary, fields calls, writes letters, prepares proposals, manages clients and makes decisions on her behalf when necessary.
Sense of humour and humility required because you sometimes have to deal with clients with big egos and bad tempers. " -
I once had a situation kind of similar to yours (boss was a slave-driver, basically). The friendly COO did the exit interview, and all I'd said was i want a change of environment.Originally posted by Honeybunz:Some companies practise exit interviews.

I just rec'd news that my colleague's (who is leaving) exit interview will be done by the Group Director (similar rank to a General Manager). Normally, in my company, this is done by her kah kia the HR Executive one.
This time the Group Director wants to do it. What does it mean? -
It may mean the GD suspects there is more to the resignation than meets the eye (like in my previous case where the COO did the exit interview)? Or has there been a spate of resignations in your dept?Originally posted by Honeybunz:I just rec'd news that my colleague's (who is leaving) exit interview will be done by the Group Director (similar rank to a General Manager).

if there is anything tt can be done, it would have been done long ago and u dun have to leave (assuming leaving bcos of issues relating to work or ppl) -

Is it bcos of her rank?
When I left my attachment company, it was also the consumer business manager that did a so called 'exit interview' with me. Partly bcos I was under her charge, but also bcos my 2 colleagues also resigned and she wanted to find out what was the real reason behind their resignation. -

the truth is out there -
Do yourself and your company a favor when going for the exit interview.
1. Be objective. Don't target the person but target the action. E.g. Don't say that your manager is irresponsible. Tell them the actions that lead you to think that there's irresponsiblity. And state very clearly that you're targeting the action and not the person.
2. The fact that the company is having an exit interview means that the company wants to be better in their HR aspect. If you think that they won't act on your words, then think about why the hell are they having an exit interview in the first place. -

Ya, esp for those People developer thingy...Originally posted by av98m:wayang? -
be more diplomatic, especially if still harbouring a bit of hope for the company to retain you by offering u a higher pay.

Actually if its already at the exit interview stage then I think its a bit too late for the company to retain u. Normally if companies want to retain you, they'll say something once they get your resignation letter and not wait until the day u want to leave then ask you to stay!!Originally posted by BufPuf:be more diplomatic, especially if still harbouring a bit of hope for the company to retain you by offering u a higher pay. -
let me put it all into perspective...
they really don't care.. it's just that they won these worthless awards like People De-eloper and SQA or whatever, those charlatans tell the companies that they must conduct these interviews "to learn" that they do...
otherwise, you think HR actually gives a damn what's going on?
