After reviewing your post I was reassured that my decision is correct and there are better things out there for us. I have been so happy since I left. I find myself singing while doing laundry, and going shopping for household needs. The thing that I am reminded of the most is that God has a plan for us and who are we to ignore the signs that we are done. And He wants us to move on to better things. Thank you Lord for your many blessings. I recently resigned from a position of which I loved, but it was time for me to move on.

My managers tried the same tactics, but I'm an adult I wasn't going to play into their hands. Great post! I now really appreciate what you mean by this article.

In the only exit interview that I have ever had, I was leaving the company to move on to a much position at another company and my manager knew that. So, we basically sat and discussed how nice it would be to advance my career and he was happy for me.

I just don't understand why they are so surprised I was leaving when I had been voicing concerns for over a year. I had a very similar experience at my exit interview a few weeks ago.

I've had only one official exit interview and it was more just to turn in my credit card and fill out some COBRA forms. We do exit interviews via mail where I work now. Funny thing is, those pieces of paper carry more weight than when the employee was working. It makes no sense. When, when, when will companies learn to listen on the front end? Wow.
