I agree, that you always have to address issues in the workplace on a per incident level, as close to the incident as possible to make a positive change. Being level headed, presenting the facts as close to the incident to upper management will gain you more respect or at least clarity then addressing it well after the fact, after you have taken action.

I think an exit interview is not the right place to address this type of issue. It comes across as sour grapes, or I don't give a damn, or vindictive. In my opinion, you should focus on the positive experiences you had and what you took away with the experience. Maybe a few helpful sincere suggestions that are constructive.

We had great team members that lacked direction, were under pressure, but always pulled together to do the right thing for the customer. Kind of like the very first job interview!!

I have many experiences that include people leaving and I have to say they are dead men/woman walking when they announce. It's like abandoning ship and their personal involvement goes from wherever it was to don't give 2 craps or 3 craps about it. Very few remain professional to the end.
