Leaving interview

heretolearn_2

No obligation of any type for an employer to offer one. I don't see how this is a moral issue or 'wrong'. You aren't even leaving, so why would you get one?

I don't see any real point to them , to be honest.

I think if the company want you to have one you can not really refuse.

Says Who ???. You are under no obligation at all to agree to one of these interviews.

Infact you do not even have to disclose to them why you want to leave that particular job or to give details of your new employers

It can be argued that attending a leavers interview at the end of employment and whilst still employed is a reasonable request on the employer's part. Therefore there is an obligation on the part of the employee to attend. What they say, or don't say, whilst there is up to them.

If you are still in work and are asked to go to an exit meeting, then why grounds have you got to refuse? It's a very reasonable request.

I never said you have to tell them why you really want to leave

No one sane would say 'I hate you all and you are a !!!! firm so I am off'!!!

You have to however attend any meeting your company want you to why they still pay your salary

If you don't want to divulge the reason why you wish to leave which is all really what they want to know then why bother. As I say all completely pointless.

Not quite the same issue but a lot of people are under the illusion that when they hand in their notice they are obliged to give the company a reason as to why they want to leave. You are under no obligation to give them this

I suppose the worst possible scenario if you don't attend an exit interview is that they will sack you;)

I didn't ask any of that. I asked how you could refuse to attend.

Nobody tells a company why they are leaving, it's all politics to make everyone feel better about themselves. So you attend, tell the company that you have a brilliant opportunity/have to cut hours/travel, it's been a wonderful job and you wish them every success in the future.

It depends on who's doing the leaving interview as well, your immediate line manager or someone from HR or a bit of both.

Sometimes there are things you might want to say which might be suppressed by the line manager who doesn't want certain ways of working exposed.

Very often, it's a good natured "Sorry to see you go" type affair where they get express appreciation for your service and wish you luck.

As you are dependent on the references, make an effort and go. with a union rep or independent witness, if you think it's necessary.
