“What do you imagine will happen as a result of your exit interview? That the company that you need to get away from will magically pull its head of its ass? “Damn shame that Jenkins left, but I’m glad he told us about what a bad manager his boss was. Once we got rid of that guy, the world became a better place around here.” It won’t happen.”

So this actually happened for me with regards to my last job. I was honest during my exit interview and said while the company was largely a good place, the only negative (and negative by far) was a particular manager at the firm, and that he was the sole reason I was resigning. About 2 months later that manager was asked to leave. I also had lunch with his manager a few months ago where he acknowledged that his hiring “John” (the horrible manager) was the worst decision of his career.
