The fully honest account of why someone is leaving, delivered only in the exit interview or after it.

The exittruth is the sentence the person never said while employed, delivered in the calm voice of someone with a signed contract elsewhere. It is recorded, filed, and ignored by the same process that created the need for it. The next hire learns nothing from it.

Etym. — exit + truth — the honesty that becomes possible at the moment of departure.

Rel. — careeralgia · surveywash
