I was an employee of ABC Company for around 2 years though I love my job and colleague but the bosses are toxic. I thought long before deciding to leave and I thought better to just leave and not stir sh*t.
What I did next during the exit interview was one of my greatest mistake I that I made, the HR manager somehow convinced me to tell any grievances or unhappiness. I was told that I was quite an above-average performer who didn’t mind putting in the extra hours for the company.
I thought I was in a “safe” zone as I was gonna leave that day and began to reveal all the unethical and unprofessional things that happened to include why it was the reason I was out the door.
A few years later and it was discovered that the HR Manager had noted the unfavourable points and used the confidential “confessions” and used it at the company I was applying for and she even told the hiring manager to not hire me.
Fortunately, the hiring manager was a friend of mine and he told me what had happened plus I had a recommendation from the upper management so I was still able to secure a job. My advice is to never trust what your HR would say if you want to leave just leave quietly cos it’s of no benefit to tell them the truth and it may end up backfiring.
