219: To Give or Not to Give: The Post-Exit Feedback Dilemma

About this episode

<p>Leaving a job can be messy. Sometimes it’s straightforward…and sometimes it comes with a nagging voice in the back of your head asking: <em>should I finally speak my mind?</em></p><p>In this week’s episode, Sarah and Emma dive into the complicated world of post-exit feedback. We unpack a listener dilemma from Judy, who left a toxic workplace and is now being asked by HR to share her experience as part of an internal investigation.</p><p>We break down the real risks, especially in small industries, like where your feedback might end up, who might hear it, and whether anything will actually change. We also discuss how to approach the conversation if you <em>do</em> decide to engage, from testing how serious the company is, to giving clear, constructive feedback that protects you while still being impactful.</p><p>🏀 Shoot Your Shot - Shoutout to Ty who bought us a coffee!</p><p>"At 34, I thought that I was doomed to manage convenience stores for the rest of my life, as it is all I have ever done. But my desire to make a change was strong, so I prepared myself as well as I could, which led me to your podcast. After months of countless applications and rejections, I finally got offered my dream sales job in a field that is convenience store adjacent. Let this be a lesson that the advice that you guys dispense is universal, and not just for the academic world. If I can do it, anyone can, and if you feel stuck, do something about it.
