why did they think you needed to be coached? isin't the purpose of the exit interview to share your insights in order for the company to know about issues they were obviously missing or aoviding.

Because the mid-level manager doesn’t want to look bad to the VP.

I’d say the exit interviews were politically motivated. Most employees had already given months/years of feedback that was never resolved before it got to that point.
