advice on leaving a job

[~Shalhevet~]

I have 10 days left at my current job. I am leaving for another similar, less stressful job. My question is would it be proper/improper for me to tell my employer the exact reason for my leaving. I told him most of it but left a pretty important piece out because I don't want to risk someone losing their job. The company is lacking sufficient management and HR. It's just terrible. The firm literally has a revolving door with employees because the HR person does not tend to the needs of the employees, but only to the employer. Do you think I should say something? Would it be a disservice not to say anything? What do you think?

hello! Well, my first impression, is if they already have a revolving door, they have probably heard what is wrong already and do not want to listen. I say this because at my job, many people have left, and i have been present when the problems are brought up, and management do not want to hear it, so we keep losing people. The sad part is, management is always complaining they can't find people to hire for the field in which i work. So the rest of us get pressured into working longer and longer days. And now this year, we are being sent 300 miles away from home, for up to a month at a time, to help out branch stores that can't keep people hired too. Feeling burned out, I am grateful to have a good job, but burned out from all the pressure. I believe if they ask, to be honest, but otherwise if they do not care to be told, i think leaving on as positive a note as possible is best. Just my 2 pennies, God bless.

My work experience taught me that when there are consistent problems it goes all the way to the top of the organization.

Telling them something they are not willing to address will not be taken well, I think.

I agree with others, just leave and let it go. It could come back to haunt you later The time fo fix the company was before you told them you were leaving or at that time.

HR, in any company, is an arm of the company. They are not there to solve employee problems but, rather, to protect the employer. Since you're leaving anyway, while bother? Never burn a bridge, Shalhevet; you never know when you may need to go back across. Just MHO.

All great advice. Thank you. My lips are sealed.

Well, my advice is to be honest. So, if they specifically ask you why you're leaving, tell them (as kindly as possible). If they don't ask, and you feel that the information would not be received well, then I would keep quit.
