Hopefully, I'll have a new job lined up before the end of the month and I'm planning to give my two-week notice soon. I was wondering if there is an exit interview or not? I have a rather long list of reasons why I'm leaving (including some stuff about my manager) and I'd love an opportunity to share it with somebody in the HR.

During the exit interview that is conducted with all employees, the person conducting the exit interview should supply people a link to an exit interview. I could possibly be wrong on this detail, but the only time they don’t supply the link is if it is for an employee that had a code of business contact violation. If you did not have a code of conduct violation, and did not receive the link, you should reach out to your former supervisor or at least call HR one stop or a former admin in your organization and let them know you did not receive it.
I recently quit, and to my surprise the EI was with my manager (the reason I was leaving). I thought it would be with HR.
He went through the checklist etc, then asked if I had anything to say. I said "Nope". Took all of 7 minutes total.
Had it been HR I may have said something. As it is, no point in doing so. He was the argumentative sort to begin with and I was so tired of it.
A tech retired and they asked him if he would suggest AT&T as a good place to work.
He told them he would rather is family be in a Mexican prison then to work at AT&T!
😂😂😂
Just move on
I know an exit interview was standard years ago. Now, I think it is up to the manager, and I doubt it goes any further. I know of employees who left their laptops, keys, badges, etc on their desks and walked out.
Hahaha. Exit interview.
I left the phone, keys, ID , Swipe card and iPad on the front sheet of the bucket truck when I retired.
Locked it up and went home after 15 minutes my last day.
I assume they found it, I never heard anything.
Just go threw the exit interview without raising waves, at least if you are not in the doghouse. AT&T has a lot of locations, and you never know. When you leave AT&T, there will be a place on your record for your manager to indicate whether or not you can/should be rehired.
Now, on the other hand, you want to burn your bridges, or if the bridges are already burnt ...
Just come here and complain. Over and over.
they don't care - they want a revolving door so nobody builds up benefits.
Exit interviews are a joke at any company. Nobody cares about them or what you say. They're just a formality. A lot of companies don't even conduct them anymore. Just leave and look to your future.
So you want to give them the list of actions they should take to drive more people out?
Seriously, you might as well post your reasons here. Nothing will change, but it will be read.
Don't waste your time.
Newsflash! Exit interviews are not what you think. They don't care what you have to say. The interviews are for your supervisor to run thru a checklist, to make sure AT&T gets their equipment back: computer, COU phone, office keys, ID badge, etc.
there is nothing you share about the negative experience at this tu-d that HR isnt aware of. It's best to be grateful you are qualified to work somewhere else, most companies see AT&T on the resume and think old slow unmotivated, no thanks. Be glad you get to move on from here. Be happy.
T doesn’t care what you think when you are an active employee. What makes anyone think they will care when you are walking out the door!!
I highly suggest you do some research other then here for an answer to your question. Also read both sides of yes/no.
Topics Frequently Covered in Exit Interviews
Exit interviews are information-gathering exercises that SEEM harmless enough. Typical questions include your. . .
reason(s) for leaving,
new job and level of pay,
ideas for building a better workplace, and
opinions about whether you had the resources to do your current job.
Your interviewer will also probably solicit your evaluation of. . .
the company's top leadership and strategy,
your supervisor,
your work group and the job's organizational culture,
pay and benefits,
training and development, and
work-life balance.
Mine was with my boss, so talking about my boss to him probably wouldn't have changed anything about how my boss performed.
- as an aside - I had an absolutely wonderful boss and only praise for how he treated everyone in our group (I was a volunteer-for-layoff last August)
Exit interview? Sure. It goes like this:
T: "Sorry, you're surplussed to save money. Good luck"
Fulfilling, isn't it?
Look, no offense, but do you actually think they care why you’re leaving, or that you’re leaving?
