Finally quitting this hellhole next week. Better believe I'm telling HR everything in that exit interview, starting with the favoritism and the lies and ending with my abusive manager. They won't care but I'm gonna say it anyway. Maybe when enough people bail they'll finally notice something's wrong. Doubt it though.

Don't waste your time. Unless of course you like to be gaslighted.
@rw We're also working from home until we're told otherwise. So thank you.
I left a few months ago, told my manager it was because of sapience, 9 hour days and removal of work from home Fridays. They asked me to reiterate my reasons in an exit interview, which I was happy to do. The woman I spoke to also made it clear that this was the response from a majority of her interviews. And now sapience is gone, so you’re welcome.
Ha was there over 20 years and not a single email from HR on exiting.
I didn’t have an exit interview when I quit. They don’t really care what you think. Doubt you’ll have one either.
When I had mine and they asked what could change my mind I said: fire Frank and the whole board, eliminate RTO, bring back hybrid for everyone, get a real parking solution (BH), get rid of Sapience and badge tracking. Im not a child or a prisoner here. HR lady just nodded and said, "I see." They literally dont care, so make it known so its on record why youre leaving. Frank didnt give a fu-k, but maybe Mike will.
They don't do exit interviews. They don't care why you're leaving. It's unreal how poorly everything is run at that place.
HR is not there for you. If they asked for an exit interview it’s for damage control. There are more disadvantages for you than benefits. The odds are not in your favor. It’s not mandatory and if you need it for closure then therapy might be a better idea.
@ab The next people talking to HR should be sure to record it (given it is legal in your state or country).
@cc The severance does have non disparagement clauses, yes.
@e0 They never saved on severance costs. They still pay severance. Narrative debunked.
He just torpedo's morale and made quality go down for no good reason during his stint since he would have gotten paid the same either way with the golden parachute. Just my opinion though.
Did you never learn that HR isn't there to help you? They are there to protect the corporation. Be careful what you say because you never know what can happen in the future and it just is not worth it.
It’s become increasingly apparent that the leadership, particularly Frank, has managed to exit with additional compensation while initiating questionable cost-cutting measures. Rather than opting for formal layoffs—which would require severance packages—employees are being pushed out through forceful restructuring, unrealistic expectations, and policy restrictions.
The strategy seems clear: make working conditions so difficult that employees leave voluntarily, thereby saving on severance costs. This is not only unethical but also unsustainable for long-term organizational health.
Additionally, the recent enforcement of 9-hour workdays targets higher-grade, exempt employees under the justification that they earn more. Meanwhile, lower-grade employees—classified as non-exempt—are still on 8-hour shifts due to legal requirements tied to their employment classification. This discrepancy, while technically legal, is clearly being exploited to cut costs at the expense of employee well-being.
Rather than trimming excessive executive bonuses or reconsidering bloated upper management, the burden is being unfairly placed on frontline and mid-tier staff. It’s demoralizing, unproductive, and short-sighted.
This isn’t how a company earns loyalty or sustains growth. It's how you drive away talent, damage morale, and lose credibility.
They reached out to you for damage control. They though you may have a reason to sue. Or say something that would damage the company's reputation.
They sent HR to convince you that you do not have a case and should not attempt to sue. Or that things weren't as bad as you thought so don't tell others about what Fiserv is like.
They might have been planning to lay you off and were hoping the severance agreement would keep you quiet. Then you ruined their plan by quitting early.
Or maybe they confused you with someone else and gave an exit interview to the wrong person. You never really know what is going on with that department.
@af+1jxn8140c, I feel the same way as you. It will change nothing but burn bridges.
Even if you never plan to return, life can change your plans and you may have to make a decision on how to support yourself or your family.
Good grief. I didn't even get an exit interview. If I had, I wouldn't have said a daggone thing. What possible use would that serve?
Smile. Nod. Never burn a bridge.
@OP It's good that you recognize they won't care. Go ahead and get it off your chest for your own satisfaction. Congrats on your new position and good luck!!
HR reached out to me for an exit interview when I put in my notice.
I gave them feedback about how specific policies were hindering productivity and contributing to poor work quality. I provided specific examples.
They spent nearly 30 minutes trying to expose faults in my feedback instead of listening to it. I made sure to be professional and measured for the duration of the conversation, but the rep got emotional and defensive.
It was a colossal waste of time. I have no idea why they reached out for the interview if they didn’t want the feedback.
But good luck to you. I hope it goes better for you.
They do not do exit interviews. Lmfao
Exit Interview? Too funny that you believe that occurs. Your only method to share your thoughts is via email and let me suggest you use some of the group/division/etc. Group Distribution lists so everyone gets the opportunity to hear your reasons.
I already reported stuff like this to ethics and hr, their response shows they truly don’t care. Imagine being under 30yrs old and a complete soulless corporate shill, that describes the unethical HR at this company. I wish I could leave too, but I have to keep applying elsewhere.
HR doesn't do exit interviews, at least they didn't when I left.
