shall I tell the truth when it comes to do my exit interview
I have been with my company for 10 years, never had any write ups or bad records. Lately, we have a new CEO and he brought his own people in to run this place. My immediate boss got fired, and all managers under him also left; I am the only one still hanging in there. Lately, I couldn’t tolerate my new Supervisor‘s abusive behavior and gave my two weeks’ notice already.
I went to HR several times in the past to report my boss’s bad behavior, I know many others went there too, but HR did nothing or couldn’t do anything since my boss is the “good friend of the CEO”. Shall I tell the truth during my exit interview about how bad the situation is? Can they screw up my personal record if I said something bad towards them, which is all truth about the supervisor? What is the best way to tell the CEO that his leadership is bad?
Thank you for helping
Legally all the company can say. Is yes or being your boss is a good friend of the so yes I would point out the years of loyalty to the company but also try to get to get a meeting with the CEO of current company and bring up the abusive boss and have him formerly request the complaints on file with the.

Never talk about your former boss or/and company in an interview. Just go on with your interview in a formality manner.
Great posts from everyone. I worked for a company who "laid me off" due to a disability I incurred. My advice is let go and move on. There is always room for honesty, but you have to pick the right time and moment to do it and from what you have said this is not the time to do it. Let them have their last moments in the sun and you move on to greener pastures leaving them behind. I do suggest if you can get in touch with your former co-workers and boss; not to to vent , but to request references ( in writing if you can get them) . You may be able to help each other in your job searches.
I say, don't be so anxious to tell them how you really feel just yet. Wait about a month into your new job then do a little drop by visit with your old employer and lay it on them. The last thing you need them to try to do is to sabotage your future with a new company. Good luck!
Number one rule leave on a professional note always. There are many ways to express your discomfort with a company. For instance, I want and desire to work in a productive, assertive ,and motivating environment, so I can continue being an asset to what ever company I work for, and I do not feel that I am able to do this any longer at this company. Thank the company for the opportunity to work ten years for their company and keep it moving. You are not responsible for how others feelings. I wish you the best.
You need to be careful about what you say, and limit it to an objective recitation of facts. Stating your personal opinions can hurt your record and raise a red flag with potential new employers, by giving the perception that you are inflexible to change, and only interested/able to work in situations acceptable to your personal feelings, which is true of everyone, but only to a degree.
I thought i was the only one before reading many posts.i put my life in my carree only to have people to slowly strip it apart.what do i do?
Why would you even consider helping a company where you are unwelcome? If I'm ever thrown off a sinking boat, I'll just be damned if I'm gonna give them "stop a boat from sinking" advice. While I swim towards some stability, I could care less about the death and destruction in my rearview. If sharks asked me for directions to the disaster, i'd draw a map.
Just tell them that you want to take a new direction in your career goals so you are seeking employment elsewhere. Complaining just burns a bridge. The new CEO probably wants to put his own people in anyway so is doing this on purpose.
I've seen this happen before and a lot of times the new CEO fails. If that happens you would be looking for a job anyway.
Inmy experience, anytime they bring in new upper manager, lower managers job are in question.
