Author here. That's a good one. But another reader pointed out another variant that calls out what is actually an inaccuracy in the original headline. To wit: You always want to be honest, but it's not often worth it to be candid. "Don't bother with being candid in exit interviews" would be more accurate, but "Exit interviews are pointless" is more of a grabber. At any rate, don't bother if all you're going to do is whine and complain. Constructive criticism at least does two things: it gives the critic the satisfaction of airing concerns, and it stands a chance of getting listened to. Whining just makes people's ears bleed.
