My goal was to complete the Exit interview (mentioned in my previous post) right away so that I could put it in the past and keep moving onward. After all, I left my previous employer 4.5 months ago.
However, I have not gotten very far on the questions. Have any ideas for how I could best answer the following?
What could the company have done differently that could have caused you to stay with the company?
Are you aware of any violations in the following areas or do you have evidence of wrongdoing during the time of your employment?
If the CEO left unexpectedly today, and you were put in charge, what are the first things you would change?
What could have changed 6 months ago that would have prevented you from leaving?
Describe any areas of conflict that have affected either your performance or morale?
i welcome all of your ideas.
Many thanks,

First of all, you don’t *have* to do the exit interview if you don’t want to. Unless it was part of a contract you had, or they’re holding some money they owe you until you fill it out, it’s a courtesy to do the exit interview. But after the way you were treated when you tried to do everything right, I don’t think you owe them any courtesies.
If you decide you want to put it all on the record, yet one more time, I think you should browse your old posts and perhaps any notes/files you kept that you felt you couldn’t share publicly. If you want, you can just write a letter that essentially tells them (yet again!) how hard you worked and your multiple efforts to get the smallest accommodations for your chronic illness and instead were patronized, rebuffed and criticized at every turn. You did your best to work within the system so that you could continue to do the excellent work you’d done for X years there, but both HR and your boss refused to bend in any way. Their inflexibility and mistreatment of you forced you to look outside the company.

I think you have to be honest without making it rude or really personal.
This will help you have closure and hopefully help other employees as well.
I would detail everything from your hours you worked, the expectations, the morale of the work place, the blatant disregard of you as a person with a disability.
Queenie this is your chance to have your say in writing. (Keep a copy)

BE HONEST… this is your chance to have your say alright….you no longer work there
great suggestions here. I think you still haven’t passed the window for filing a complaint against them with the EEOC. I don’t know if you would do this or are considering it, but if it were me, I’d write this such that it would either support or have little effect on any complaint I might make.
I’m guessing that doing this exit interview is going to re-kindle the feelings of helplessness and mistreatment, frustration about your illness and the injustice of your former employer’s poor response to your attempt to work with them to accommodate it at work. In light of that, I’d approach it as if it were something that will be toxic but possibly cathartic – I might even just write a short couple of statements about the “highlights” and then let them know that as much as you would like to give a more detailed response because the company’s compliance with disability law and equality in the workplace is so important, their treatment of your disability was so inappropriate that the emotional effects of it are still hitting you and filling out this form in detail is too difficult. I’m not really saying this how I want to (just woke up…brain wants more caffeine)…I hope I’m not just rambling.
