Exit interview....WW925D? (little long)
So next Thursday is my last day at my job. I have been in a temp position with my company since June of 2011. Legally I cannot work past 9 months and will need to take a 3 month break (due to them not offering benefits and such). I previously worked for this company and have always been in good standing and still am.
I applied for three positions from October to December. I know for a fact that I was the top candidate for all three. I didn't get any of the positions because my current director and supervisor were working on creating a position for me and didn't want to lose me on the team that I was currently working on. I also know for a fact that there were very heated debates over me being a candidate since the other three departments greatly wanted me and had an offer for me, and felt that it was unfair that my director could say no about me switching over (she was part of the hiring decision in all cases).
Job #3 came and we were trying to get it wrapped up for me and the company implemented a hiring freeze. A month of that and then there was an announcement from the President that the hiring freeze will be indefinite and there will be layoffs before Q1 is over.
So here I am at my 9 month mark and have to leave the company. I know that they wanted me to stay there, but I don't understand why this specific director gambled with my future so much. I also feel like it was wrong on her part to pull me out of the top candidate spot for a job they hadn't even passed through financials yet. I have 5 directors alone emailing and pulling for me to get hired, however, now it doesn't matter with the layoffs coming.
One of my colleague's mentioned to me yesterday that I should say something to HR about getting pulled as the candidate for the positions. I don't want to burn any bridges and last time I left I was able to effectively mention some things that were going on then in a tasteful manner. I actually would love to let them know how rotten I was treated by our HR department as well, but I figured I will let that one go.
Would you say anything? Mention it casually? I honestly feel that once they open up the budget again that I will get a job offer from them and quite possibly a good one. After all of this I am not sure if I want to go back, but facing unemployment and the unknown I need to keep my options open.
TIA

I wouldn't want to work for a company that gambled with my chance to be in the running for jobs I was qualified for and that others wanted me at for some future job that didn't exist.
I'm in a similar situation and am very close to quitting asap. I'm in the top 2 for every job I apply for but they always hire the other person. I'm pretty sure they want to keep me temp because I'm so dependable and they have very few temps. Well sucks to be them because I'm quitting by June and they'll be up a creek without a paddle.

I agree. I wouldn't want to work for a company that would take me out of the running for a position I'm clearly a top candidate for. And obviously your director has a lot of pull with the outcome of things. I would keep looking, it sounds like you have the experience and education to get you a job that isn't with this company in the near future. I know you're worried about the economy and being unemployed but it would be so good for you in the long run to get away from this company.
As far as how to address your situation with HR, I would just let it be. If they push you for more details I would be very up front, but most of my exit interviews have been very simple. Why do you want to leave? Is there anything we could have done differently to change your mind. What were the pros and cons to working your position. Unless I wanted to call someone out, there wasn't a questions asking WHO.
A lot depends on how you came to "know for a fact" these actions and behaviors. Can you prove it beyond any doubt? Is there written documentation in your possession? I have a policy of not taking hearsay to higher-ups.
On Tuesday, the Internet was abuzz with admirers pointing to Billups? abrasion as addition archetype of the ?Clippers Curse.?
One problem. There is no Clippers Curse.

The aggregation traded two first-round picks for Tiny Archibald in 1977; one ages into the season, he tore his Achilles? bond and absent the absolute season. Bill Walton had a alternation of bottom injuries during his seasons with the team.
Some alarm that a curse, but added teams alarm it a day in the activity of an NBA team.

Cheap Jordan Shoes Or Magic backward afterwards testing absolute for HIV. Does anyone say the Lakers are cursed? No, because the Lakers admiral accept a history of authoritative astute abstract picks and trades, abrogation the aggregation in position to balance bound from setbacks.
Look at the Clippers? abstract history: In 1981, they drafted Tom Chambers, who went on to accept a solid career ? with Seattle and Phoenix. Afterwards he averaged 17.4 credibility for the Clippers, they traded him to the SuperSonics for James Donaldson, Greg Kelser and Mark Radford. To be fair, the Clippers did abstract a approaching Hall of Famer in 1981: Tony Gwynn, who is in the Baseball Hall of Fame. In 1983, the Clippers called Byron Scott, again traded him to the Lakers. In 1984, they called Lancaster Gordon with the eighth all-embracing aces of the draft. Lancaster Gordon? Nike jordans shoes sales Meanwhile, eight picks later, the Utah Jazz called John Stockton. In 1985, with the third aces in the abstract and with Chris Mullin, Detlef Schrempf, Charles Oakley, Karl Malone and Joe Dumars all available, the Clippers selected, delay for it, Benoit Benjamin. (By the way, that year the Lakers called A.C. Green with the 23rd pick.)
We could play the ?name the bad abstract pick? bold all day. In 1987, the Clippers had three first-round picks. They went with Reggie Williams, Joe Wolf and Ken Norman. Remember Danny Ferry? Bo Kimble? LeRon Ellis? Randy Woods? Terry Dehere? Lamond Murray? Michael Olowokandi?
So, no, there is no Clippers Curse. There was just a alternation of abhorrent amateur cadre decisions fabricated by the team.Which seems to accept afflicted this division beneath new General Manager Neil Olshey. Who is apparently busily aggravating to ample the aperture Billups? abrasion leaves.
