Why would you care if they followed their own procedures? It doesn't change the fact that you don'wt work there anymore. Exit interviews are useless anyway.
I think the point the OP is making is that companies wonder why people leave, conducting exit interviews etc

There were no bosses around during business hours, and another one was annoyed because they were at home already.

No one followed procedure, no communication, no one really cared - could not even follow a simple procedure and have at least one boss on site

The problem many organisations follow this pattern of shambolic, farcical style of management where talking/BS is favored as opposed to actually doing the job properly- and then there a bit surprised if someone leaves, shocked how could you leave such a well managed organisation?

If you apply the example of exit to every area of the organisation, you can see why things are in a mess all over the place, and people leave.

To the posters who say move on, you will probably find a similar pattern at the next job.

Its about some of the managers were fired not even being able to conduct the Exit of an employee correctly. Sadly they will escape and continue the pattern of dysfunction, and someone else will leave in a few months.

He was responsible till the very last moment, and the work ethnic alone is part of the reason he got hired. Op, move on. You did the right thing. If they were that gung ho about an exit interview it would have been done already.

Besides, the managers could just deny receiving any vm's esp as you left. Good luck on the new job!
