A TikTok video showing a presentation that was created as a parody for an exit interview went viral, amassing more than three million views.
The video, which was shared by Claire Zhu on the TikTok account @claireandpeter, shows a presentation that has two slides of graphs and a concluding slide. The presentation, which garnered over 192,000 likes and thousands of comments, started a conversation among viewers about exit interviews and their purpose.
A piece published by the BBC outlined what exit interviews are meant to do for an employer, as well as what the interview can do for departing employees.
The first graph that was shown measured Zhu's mental health as it declined over the time she spent working for the company.
"Reasons I've cried in the past 365 days," the title of the pie chart in the following slide read.
The two reasons Zhu provided in the chart included "work" and "also work."
"I will not be providing further feedback since you don't listen anyways," the text on the concluding slide read.
The BBC reported that exit interviews are generally beneficial for the employer.
"Typically, organisations ask for exit interviews to get a better sense of what's happening inside the company—things to which they may not always be privy on the management side," the piece read.
How an employee chooses to approach the exit interview is entirely up to them. Some employees remain neutral, while others share what they feel the company should improve on.
"Instead of deciding if they're going to lie, be forthcoming or land somewhere in between, it may be more prudent for workers to consider what they personally want from the process—and what approach to use to get it," the piece stated.
Although some employees choose to say little about the company, the piece stated that others view the interview as an opportunity to express how they truly feel.
"I think there is a cathartic, therapeutic element to it—a sort of like a healing process," Ben Branson-Gateley, CEO and co-founder of CharlieHR, told the BBC.
Zhu told Newsweek in an email she did not expect the video to resonate with so many people and confirmed she did not send the presentation to her previous employers.
"Looks like we're all going through the same thing," she said. "Peter and I have been working toward our year-long hiatus and we are excited to share our travels with our community!"
Some commenters commended Zhu for the presentation, and one even requested a copy of it.
"Can I please get this?" My last day is on the 4th, I need to let them know they are the reason my therapist has all my money," @arithemermaid17 wrote.
"Obsessed," @reegnorak commented. "I'm inspired, truly."
One commenter shared that their own coworker was "brutally honest" during his own exit interview.
"They walked him out of the office, said they didn't need him to finish his last 2 weeks," @eai0385 wrote.
Some, however, wondered why Zhu created the presentation.
A commenter suggested creating this presentation may backfire down the line.
"Terrible decision, never burn brides with an old job or people at that job," @rfcmax123 commented. "Never know when you are gonna need something from someone."
Another said the presentation will not be useful.
"You don't provide any data or feedback that will help the company improve or understand why you and others may be burnt out," @uydnas wrote.
