Need to get a few things off your chest at work? Consider the exit interview. After thirty five years on the job Michael Stuben was one last questionnaire away from retiring from his job at the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission. But there were a few final thoughts he wanted to share and instead of directing them to HR, he sent them to two thousand of his colleagues. He said that for 30 years he enjoyed his job, but the past five had become unbearable. He says the department had become too political and it was all about who you know instead of what you know. He says positions were being created for people who didn’t know what they were doing and people were hired off the streets when more qualified people were already at the company. Stuben went on to say that upper management only cared about themselves and were out of touch with employees. For that reason he says, the office is lacking morale and hardly anyone wants to clock in. Now Stuben is happily retired, relishing his victory of getting in the last word.Final Thoughts
