Just quit my job after only 1 month!
The position wasn't a good fit at all. I had my concerns when I received the job offer but accepted the position due to the salary and title. My manager was very upset and initially refused my resignation. Then argued with me for over 2 hours about my leaving so soon. I tried to only say it wasn't a good fit but he kept badgering me for examples. Then asked me to stay and re-evaluate after 90 days. I have never experienced anything like this.
The company was extremely disorganized and my manager continuously bad mouthed the 2 employees that previously filled this role. The duties assigned did not match the job title whatsoever. Staying would have meant a career step back as despite the better title, it was very clerical work and did not align with my goals. For whatever reason, he is making me serve out my notice. Since I am the 3rd person to quit under him in less than 6 months, HR has asked that I do an exit interview. I'm tempted to skip it altogether.
Thankfully, I accepted another job offer and am undergoing a background check now. This has been such a stressful experience. I'm really hoping the job I accepted will be a better fit.

Definitely do the exit interview, it would help you get some closure to the situation and give you a good talking point for future positions / when / if you get asked about your short stay at the company.

Please do the exit interview. It might help you become more assertive, and it might feel good to get it off of your chest, not to mention, it would also serve the company well, also.
