What if you care about the people who are still at the company, and want them to have a better experience than you did? What if you even care about people you don't even know, who will work there in the future?

I feel like people like this are fair game for naming and shaming.
Disagree. You can ask in private but DOXXing somebody via HN/Reddit hivemind is a no-go without proper evidence. 1 anecdote does not suffice in this case (sorry OP, I do believe you though)

Nah man, exit interviews aren't to express opinions or talk shit, it's a data source for HR to identify problems emerging as patterns and improve their org/company. One guy saying "my boss sucked" isn't really feedback
So you are supposed to provide data sources about problems, but are not allowed to involve opinions in that? Can you give some examples of feedback that would fit that criteria?
- My boss doesn't like me and excludes me. vs - I think my boss has a few favorites who get all the cool projects. Despite me being the best person as I had the most experience with technology X, my performance in good standing, and having showed interest in the project, I didn't get assigned to that project.

>exit interviews aren't to express opinions or talk shit, it's a data source for HR These are the same thing. You're trying to legitimize your opinion under the pretense of seeking raw, objective data, and characterizing OP's interview responses as something less than data, but it's not true.

I didn't say it was useful feedback, I said they asked him his opinion and they got it. Badmouthing him around town for it is completely uncalled for.
Eh we don't really know what happened and to what extent he was badmouthed. If it's as bad as he says, then yes that was uncalled for
I told my boss at the time that the reason I was leaving was because they where forcing us back into the office to do meetings from our desk in the middle of the pandemic (which it was, 18mths ago June). I also told him that if they didn't change that policy they'd haemorrage their most senior staff. Of the 9 lead devs they had at the time (including me) they lost 7 over the next 8mths (I already knew three where lea…

Background checks wont even always ask your permission before verifying your employment history. They usually won't even need contact info from you.

Does this amount to doxxing though? Naming someone or a company in a public forum is one thing, posting their home address and phone number is different
What's more, a common name might mean multiple people get harassed via that same method due to poor detective skills.
For those starting out in their career in the US: They do not play fair and they will lie about you and talk behind your back. By they, I mean the people that do the hiring. When you apply at one place , they will contact buddies at your current or former place of work even without your consent and you have no chance to fight or dispute that (and it is also illegal, not that they care). It's not a level playing field…
is it actually illegal?
I’ve had 2 exit interviews and both were good experiences. The first scheduled the exit interview 5 months after leaving my job. Clearly said that they wanted to make sure I was comfortable in my new job before asking for feedback. I think the gap of a few months is a good mechanism to get honest feedback if someone is willing to provide it (and is what I now do for exit interviews myself) Second time was with a mana…
