Anyone planning on an epic exit? Maybe say few words to some dysfunctional bias leadership ? It’s been my little motivation in life in my iPhone notes… how about you each practice here what would you say to certain people here walking out the door ? Someone specific ? And why them?

Speaking from experience, there is no ‘exit interview’ at VMware, at least I didn’t have one when I left earlier this year (as a P5 in professional services). Why would VMware want to know what you think at the end of your employment, when they never wanted to know what you think before :). There is a sort ‘survey’ but it’s ver bland.
It's just sour grapes - concentrate your efforts on getting another job, rather than dissing the company that gave you your last one.
Thanks VMWare family! Will definitely bite the bullet and not risk burning any bridges.
I'm going to do the very least amount of work possible and collect my salary until they say bu-bye.
Providing that much detail will have no impact. No one important will read it.
Exit interviews and termination are simple and straightforward here. WorkDay has a long checklist where the manager selects up to 3 or 5 key points on why the employee left. That's it. It's just used for bar and pie charts and BU metrics.
I agree with others that you should not provide any comments. Don't burn bridges and let them live with their problems. You learned a lesson from it and take it with you and don't try to create same problems at you new work place. Also I don't think Exit Interviews are that common. I have changed jobs 4 times in last 20 yrs and not once have I had an exit interview. Sometimes senior leadership tried to keep me around by offering counter offers which I think are the biggest insult to the leaving employee. I always refuse. Counter Offers basically say " We could have paid you this much more but we did not until you decided to quit". Problems that you usually identify are fundamental issues that a company faces. They hardly change unless a company completely changes its culture. So no point in wasting your energy. All the people and problems I left behind in my previous jobs are still there just like I left them. They won't go away because those companies still operate the same way.
Exit interviews are a waste of time . Be polite and say no comment.
Don‘t burn your bridges. It’s a small world!
I don't to exit interviews. Why would I. If they really cared they would try to keep you.
Never burn a bridge in your career, no matter how much you want to. It's a smaller world than you think.
I want to be paid for my consulting. So, no, I will advise no one how to fix their problems or what problems they have when I am on my way out. Besides, if you can't talk about it while you are there and can help fix it, then why do it on your way out?
