I have resigned from my current job and I am just finishing up my notice period. My employer wants me to do an exit interview to understand why I want to leave since there have been a lot of people leaving lately. I am wondering how honest I should be – would you tell them how toxic the workplace is or be a bit more diplomatic?

It’s been over a year since Sex Discrimination Commissioner Kate Jenkins’ report on sexual harassment in the workplace in Australia, [email protected], was released.
After a long delay, the Morrison government published its response to the report in April, and followed up by quietly introducing a bill to legislate some of these changes last week.
The bill proposes changes primarily to the
Sex Discrimination Act and the
Fair Work Act. While some of these changes are welcome and long overdue, the bill doesn’t go nearly far enough to protect women or prevent harassment at work.
