No, I think it's pretty dumb for someone to ask a room full of people if he's the only one that likes one of the most popular bands in history.

The first time you hit 405 on any lift is a good time, I'm just busting your balls a bit =].

You'll feel like a god when you hit it from the floor, right up until you put it down and want to move up higher.

"Who is this Paul McCartney guy that kanye just made famous??" Actually wasn't a rare sentiment

I understand where you guys are coming from, and if this was any other company I would agree. But this isn't even a company, this is a startup that's completely run on the whim of the person who made it. I laugh because the idea that she'd sit me down for an exit interview is laughable. Likely what's going to happen is she's just going to ask for my key and say goodbye. Our "HR department" is an outside company that has only ever showed up at the office to change salaries and fire people. I had to leave 3 messages and send 2 emails to get my dental card, which then they had to reprint because they misspelled it.

The owner is the same person who brought me into her office the first week of January and promised me a raise, and then never gave it to me or brought it up ever again. But gave one to her best friend/business partner, who was just a secretary at their old job together but apparently "is smart enough to be a BA". She's not. Every client we have hates her, and have said so on calls. They specifically ask that she stop working on projects because she's horrible.

This is the same owner who cut everyone's pay by 20% because we weren't getting paid by our clients, then "resolved" the situation by firing our developer lead and 2 other people. But then didn't give our normal paychecks back for another month while she hired a new BA who she fired a month later because he was underqualified to fill the role. She knew that going in too.

She's systematically driven away everyone she doesn't like by cutting their pay until they can't afford to work here anymore. Even our COO, who was the only one pulling in business, she decided to cut down to a 10% commission bonus because they got in an argument about the direction of the company or something.

The idea that they would even be organized enough to hold an exit interview is hilarious, as is the thought that she'd listen to anything I have to say. The only thing she knows how to do is make arbitrary promises to clients and then yell at people when they don't deliver them for her. Literally all I got working on this project was about 20 wireframes and the direction to "make it work".

I don't need any professional relationship with her or this company. Everyone I like who works here hates her too and are looking to quit. I have references from every developer who works here or who has in the past. I already have a new job. I live and will work far enough away that I will never encounter them again, and the field this company works in is so niche that I should never encounter it unless I go looking for it. I'm not going to run into her office, call her an asshole and scream at her. I think I'll just quietly walk in, leave my keys, and thank her for her time.

Even if I fixed every problem we had before I left, I wouldn't expect to keep a professional relationship with her. It's just now how she operates. I've watched every single person who has left or been fired blamed for every project that comes up. A site breaks? "Those fucking developers who worked on it. They were shit anyway." A client backs out of a deal? "That guy I fired so mismanaged this project. What an asshole, it's his fault we're here." Someone changes their mind on a design? "The old UX/UI guy was a real chump. He can't do anything right."

Not a single person has left this company with our CEO having good things to say about them. I don't expect to be the first.
