Help me prepare for my exit interview.

Why I'm leaving: [honest reasons]
What I'd change: [things that could improve]
What I appreciated: [good things]
What I don't want to share: [anything]
Who's doing it: [HR, a manager]

Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers.

Then:
1. Answers to the five most common exit interview questions.
2. Three constructive points, each with a suggestion.
3. Things to keep to myself and why.
4. What to do if I have a serious concern (for example bullying or safety): put it in writing and see Acas.

Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts, dates or results. UK English.

Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.

A short example

Fill the blanks, then paste. honest reasons: a short note you already have. things that could improve: a short note you already have. Leave the rest of the prompt as written.

You type why you're leaving and what you'd change.

The assistant asks what you want to happen with your feedback and what's off-limits.

You get three points to make, words for each, and lines to avoid.
