Exit interviews make sense, because often people have nothing to lose at that point, therefore more likely to be honest

Does a company really care, either way? They have probably already heard from many employees about a variety of issues and choose to not change: * work expectations are too high (too few employees to complete the work they are given) * pay not increasing to cover inflation, performance, retention, or industry standards * poor management * expected to work overtime * a toxic work culture * or other issues These things come up over and over. There is a reason (or many) why employees are leaving and they just keep burning them out to just hire more. Rinse and repeat. I don't understand why they do this; the cost to find and train new employees is incredibly high.
