Telling Boss how bad he was during Resignation

As title says, I have resigned and my boss who is also the founder of the company has set up a 1:1 session with me. I was fed up of him because of his micromanagement and stupid asks. Basically he was just being a person who think if I have paid, I can ask anything from my employees.

Now, I wish to tell him all of this in 1:1 and say how he is not at all worthy to run a employee friendly company.

Do you all think it'll be a good idea? Will it impact me in future in any way? Will my next joining be impacted by this?

Don’t do that. Telling him all those things will get you nothing, rather he can screw up your exit, FnF, background verification. Just move on

Put it in a polite manner in front of him and blast him in Glassdoor/ambition box instead.

True... Never do that.. give them the unbelievable positive feedback. Say they are awesome, and everything. You are not here to improve that company. Suits receiving cores its their job.

Don’t do it.

I can understand your frustration and feelings of unfairness. This is just a blip in your life but sit back and watch how much your silence will take him through dumps. The moment you tell him anything about how bad he was, it’s human nature to try and correct himself just to get some audience wins on his side and who knows he might change. But why do you owe him even that bit of learning. He chose to be the ass now let him be fked.

I don’t believe in burning bridges etc. life and world is way humongously huge and there are many many bridges.just watch how life and way of life is changing in the recent times. The old outdated ways of sucking up is irrelevant. Yes we have worser problems but why to go back to the same shit. It is a start of a rebellion.

PS : i m ruthless that way!

Some people just like to see the world burn.

I like how you think sir.

It is always a good idea to share honest feedback in your exit interviews. But the wordings have to be +ve instead of -ve

Instead of micromanagement - I wish I had more freedom to work on my projects

Instead of can ask employees for anything - sometimes it felt that tasks were not suited to my role/JD

Not at all worthy to run an employee friendly company - it was a very dynamic, challenging work environment from Day 1

Just don't use negative words, leave on a cordial note.

Also people saying FnF issues, bad recommendations, etc - I have not seen it happen nor have heard of it - has anyone seen an ex boss intentionally try to ruin the career of an ex employee?

Never burn bridges. You may think this was the worst boss ever but probably the next one is lurking out there. Let karma take its own course.

Not worth it. Just take the W - you're leaving and its their loss (no matter how small).

Praise that idiot and leave gracefully. Not worth it as the world is a small place. You can give bad reviews on all social media anonymously. But don't burn bridges as YOU NEVER KNOW... 😉

Schedule another call for the peace of your mind after FnF is settled 😂

And tell them that you didn't want to tell the truth as based on their behaviour you have experiences, they might hold your fnf back.

Whatever you say, he is not gonna change his character or attitude. He will only think who are you to tell me how to behave as I’m the one paying salary. And in general just speaking with you, he can’t change a character that has been with him for years.

So better move on with positive note, as Nothing going to change.

Wish him for the business success and thank him for the opportunity provided.
