Let's say that you are leaving a company primarily because you're boss and co-workers are shitty people and miserable to work with. For instance, you asked your boss what was needed of you to be promoted, and when you completed these goals / tasks, he changed the criteria and wouldn't promote you. Other crap includes co-workers and manager leaving early when there is still a bunch of work to do, leaving a select few to stay late or on weekends to finish.

If you were leaving this job and given the opportunity to provide feedback through an exit interview or survey, would you be honest about everything or just not say anything at all? I would be very tempted to be honest and just bash the people I worked with, but I'd also be hesitant because I wouldn't want to burn bridges in case my boss found out that I gave him a bad review.

What would you do?

They give the surveys for a reason. I'd be honest. Make sure your next job is already in the bag so you don't need that reference from shitty boss.

I would be honest.

Provide objective information and omit subjective feelings.

my suggestion would be to not burn bridges, especially if you're still young.

I have no idea why exit interviews are even conducted. Maybe a "feel good" thing for the employee to vent? Otherwise, they are a complete waste of time for all involved.

Just say "thanks for the job" and leave it at that.
