My boss is great and I think he genuinely wants to know why I'm leaving. It is a tiny company with no HR, no personnel records, etc.
I just gave notice and he asked to talk about how the company can better attract and retain talent. How honest would you be?
Fwiw, I'm leaving primarily for a geographic relocation, but I'd have left in 1-2 years due to low pay (including benefits, I'm doubling my salary), working from home (I hate it) and to a lesser extent the total lack of structure, clear goals, good recordkeeping etc.
But that last complaint is a positive in my boss's opinion- he specifically wants it to be low key and low stress. I just think we went well past low stress and kept right on going towards chaos, wasted time and inefficiency.
I've never been asked to do an exit interview before.
