Curious to know if anyone ever got an "exit interview" with Intel HR before they left, either voluntary or involuntary?
In both cases, I never had an "exit interview" but I know others did get an exit interview. Is it a particular case an exit interview happens? Or Managers try to CYA when an employee leaves?
@2dt good analogy... Intel employee are basically cattle now.
Do dairy operators take exit interviews of the cows they milk when they terminate their employment? Or do they just care that they got enough milk?
No exit interviews at Intel. Exit interviews only happen in corporations that actually give a sh-t about their employees.
Facts. No exit interviews. They do not want to hear it. Your manager pushes a button selection on reason for termination. Clinical data exercise. Bye bye. I am ex Intel HR.
@146 the last word should be UNemployed...
@13f so you want HR and Intel in general to take the word of an employee that is pi$$ed off (by your account they need to vent) to make changes to the organization and direction of the company? Maybe that employee's views are flawed which is why they have been selected for removal... maybe not. In any case, the information gained in an exit is hardly worth pursuing. It kind of falls into the category of employee references. If contacted regarding the employment of a former employee HR will only validate that they worked there and the dates of that employment. When companies and employees separate ways do it cleanly, you go your way and they go their way. Move on and quit trying to be right that one last time. Having to get in the last word on everything is probably a contributing trait to why you are now employed.
Would hope they would value opinions rather than pay consultants for only half the answer. Intel is an insular place that truly believe Intel way is best, oblivious to any better ways of doing things as they aren't the Intel way. Now with LBT maybe the org will reflect a bit more, take accountability, and improve. He has already pushed out a lot of the right people, but unfortunately lost a lot of key talent at the same time. RTO is a double edge sword. But forced HC reductions are making the workplace a lot more merit base than it has been for decades.
I have done exit interviews at other places and it was a bit cathartic, not much HR can really do with the information, but with enough signal and organization will, it conceivably could direct positive change for a healthy organization with a winning culture. Intel has neither at the moment, so I don't see it being anymore of a benefit that a little venting therapy for the exiting employee.
No exit interview. Took retirement package. I havent heard anyone getting exit interview in years.
Id file a report to the FBI about the numerous misconduct incidents by management
I'm number 10! I turned it red!
OP. Are you sure you were laid off?
@fx do you really think that they would care? Just because you have been there for 30 years doesn't mean they value your opinion. They have known how to get a hold of you for the past 30 years but I am guessing that they never stopped by to get your prospective of how things were going. You have an axe to grind with a list of people but it just won't matter. Move on. The reality is that with 30 years of continued employment you view yourself as a loyal long term employee but Intel the corporation viewed you as your WWID. To HR and finance your WWID is a low number which means you are expensive. After 30 years Intel must have helped you grow substantial wealth. Go enjoy it in retirement.
Exit interview ? LMAO FoffandDie ! Laterdaysbitches !
I can't speak to the OP's exit interview reasoning.
However, for AFO OFA Joe, I wanted to professionally express and factually discuss specific mid-managers, senior managers, and vice presidents. My justification, documenting Intel mid-level manager to VP levels from a nearly 30-year engineer's perspective, would it accomplish anything? Yes, no, maybe? Don't know. However, don't try, don't ever know... EVER!
Cheers!
Smile and the world smiles with you!
OP, what would be the benefit of having an exit interview?
Before leaving, your manager schedules a survey with you. If you provide the correct and smart answers, you can leave without an exit interview. It's pretty easy.
Dealing with HR is like dealing with cops.
The less said, the better.
Be polite, but aloof.
Hold your cards close to your vest, volunteer no information. Carefully choose which if any of their questions you answer, and reserve the right to refuse answering any of their questions.
In other words: avoid their interrogations whenever possible.
It doesn't benefit you, and they are not there to help you.
What you say can and very well may be used against you.
Do you really think they value your opinion?
Intel HR exit interview...
Resigned from Intel in Spring 2007 (10 years) - no Intel HR exit interview.
Returned to Intel in Summer 2008, retired from Intel in early Summer 2016 - again, no Intel HR exit interview... and I DID request an Intel HR "scheduled" exit interview this time! None was offered or scheduled!
Cheers!
Smile, and the world smiles with you!
