As a direct report who sits near his manager I agree that weekly 1:1 is a waste of time. My manager took a middle road. He has two hours scheduled per week for a team of 15. He reserves those for 1:1. Anyone is free to put a 1:1 slot on his calendar if you have something to discuss. Otherwise you go about your week.
