would have done things differently if they were to do it again, and don't just act like they were perfect. So it's not everyone that just blames everything on everyone around them. In sports the best do that too.

Having been through 50+ exit interviews over the years, I think the thing that gives me the most respect

Cool. I'm sure most people leaving your employ actually DO care about your level of respect for them.

I didn't say they care. They clearly don't. They do when they try to boomerang or want to

I think humility and introspection are great qualities.

You go over everything they did wrong in an exit interview?

That was my question too. Crazy exit interview

You read it wrong. Exit interviews are simple. Usually just a few questions.

The main reason most workers leave is bc they hate their boss or they love their boss and they are following their boss

I mean, I clearly know this.

I also just re-read the OP and I don't get how others are understanding it the way you are, but you aren't

CSoul

Does the humility you seek from them go both ways?

RockyBalboa

Yes it goes both ways, and I try to do that. But many managers have the same issue. It's a human issue.

CSoul

Good on you then for taking that approach

RockyBalboa

You’re a great company man.

If you think the person leaving was the one with the problems...

If they're leaving voluntarily, wouldn't you want their perspective on what could be better about the job?

Did I say I didn't want the critical feedback? No, I didn't. I'll give an example. In an exit interview someone says

That's not really the way you wrote out your OP though.

Knee Brace

Yeh, I thought that would be implied by this part - "and that it's not JUST a". In putting that I thought it would

That is usually true...most employees cannot get things done...

I've never been asked anything like that in an exit interview. Most are 10 min

I apparently wrote the OP terribly lol. I don't ask them any question about what they do wrong. It's just the

Mikey

I think almost everyone has major issues or failures in their tenure if they are there for any amount of time

CSoul

Not my experience

Mikey

Jun 19, 12:59pm

You don't think most people have major issues after years at a job? You must be working with the most

CSoul

I've only left for a better opportunity, not because of problems. In, fact I

Gotcha, I get that

CSoul

Didn’t read the post, but have you really been canned 50+ times?

That would be a quick way to gain some simple humility

Ha, nice!

Here's my exit interviews all went. "I need more money than you are paying me".

I'm good with that one! Sometimes people dance all around that and the reality is they just wanted more money.

People love throwing others under the bus on the way out. It's pretty typical even if it's not the main reason

Throwing people under the bus vs not is a little different than talking about

Exit interviews are a waste of everyone's time.
