| Jan 4, 2019 at 15:38 | comment | added | dwizum | The problem with this approach is that you're making a bet. How will the former employer respond to this kind of feedback? Unless you have a rock solid reason to believe they'll take it positively, then, if you care about your coworkers, you might want to keep your mouth shut. Negative feedback about a manager is just as likely to make things worse for your coworkers as better. | |

As described, the manager is creating a hostile work environment. Why should you have to leave a company where you've enjoyed working for a long time because of your new manager's bad behavior? Move on if you want to, but you may well have other avenues open to you once you've documented the hostile environment. | |
| Jan 3, 2019 at 22:52 | comment | added | mjwills | I'd strongly suggest listening to manager-tools.com/2009/04/handling-exit-interviews . TL;DR - don't be honest in exit interviews. | |

| Jan 3, 2019 at 12:39 | comment | added | Tim | Good answer, but slightly different situation: his colleagues appear to be siding with the new boss. Solidarity there will work against the OP. | |
| Jan 2, 2019 at 21:18 | comment | added | computercarguy | I feel this is a better answer than the current two higher voted answers. This is a professional talk with management, rather than the rant another answerer used. Getting a manager or coworker "on the radar" can be useful, if done in a professional manner. Stating "the new manager and I aren't getting along" will get you much farther than "Mr. PHB is a total #$%^&". It may lead to more questions, but again, state answers without pointing fingers, and your former co-workers may, eventually, thank you for improving their lives. | |
