TikToker Goes Viral After Creating A Blunt PowerPoint Presentation For Her Exit Interview At Work

TikToker Goes Viral After Creating A Blunt PowerPoint Presentation For Her Exit Interview At Work

Very few people have never worked a job they couldn't wait to get out of.

And while some still make a point of leaving these jobs diplomatically, making an effort not to burn any bridges, there are others who can't wait to say goodbye and go out with a bang.


Such was the case for TikToker Claire of @claireandpeter who, in place of a customary exit interview, shared a PowerPoint presentation explaining why she chose to leave her job.

Claire shared the short and concise presentation in a video on her TikTok page, which has gone on to receive 3.4 million views.

@claireandpeter

I worked really hard on it #exitinterview #quittingmyjob #greatresignation

Claiming she "worked really hard on it" in the video's caption, Claire explained the mission of the PowerPoint in the video's overlay, accompanied by a video of herself giving viewers a thumbs up.

"I made a PowerPoint for my exit interview at work."
"What do you think?"

The three-slide presentation began with a pair of black curtains unfurling on an introductory slide, featuring the words "my exit interview" in simple, black and white text.

The presentation then shifted to the first of three slides, featuring a graph which showed how Claire's mental health took a steep decline during her time at the company.

The name of the company in question, as well as her position, were never disclosed in the video.

The second slide featured a pie chart, measuring the two reasons she "cried in the last 365 days."

The pie chart consisted of 2 colors, with a sizable majority of it green, and a fairly small sliver of blue.

But the measurement proved to be irrelevant, as the two reasons Claire found herself crying over the last year were "work" and "also work."

The third and final slide was once again simple, black and white text, barely on screen long enough for viewers to read it, this time saying:

"I will not be providing further feedback since you don’t listen anyways."

The video ended with Claire popping up for one final appearance.

The video met with a fairly divided reaction from TikTok.

Several applauded Claire for sharing her honest, unapologetic reasons for leaving a job she clearly hated in an effort to benefit her mental health, with a few people even suggesting they might follow suit.

There were others though, who felt Claire's behavior was unprofessional and felt the PowerPoint presentation was a waste of everyone's time.

One doubts Claire will be paying much mind to her naysayers, as she's already made her decision regarding her next steps.

As documented in a series of three TikTok videos, Claire revealed how she and her boyfriend had been working remotely while going on a lengthy road trip across the USA.

But the couple are now planning to travel across the globe for a year, and this time they will be traveling full time and not working, both having submitted their two-weeks notice.

Indeed, Claire's current TikTok biography is:

"We quit our jobs to travel the world."
"You only yolo [you only live once] once."

Claire also included the hashtag #greatresignation in her video, a reference to the over 33 million Americans who quit their jobs since spring of 2021, following a serious reevaluation of workplace culture and conditions as a result of the pandemic.
