The very idea that there are two ends is your fallacy bro you are already putting yourself in the magnanimous role of giving something A 1:1 is inherently a meeting of minds where there is no power imbalance and genuine trust can develop The way you make it sound is like the CIA giving mandatory lie detector tests where one person is strapped to a chair and the other is taking notes I'm calling false corporate bullshit as a human being

There is always a power imbalance between a subordinate and a manager. There is no “genuine trust” with a manager. If your manager was told that their were imminent layoffs and they were told not to tell you, do you think they would? Would you tell your manager that you are hoping to learn all you can to get a better paying job in a year?

  Of course there is no trust, and this lack of trust is pouring from all these questions. Personally I encourage the people who report to me to always come to me with any issues they may have and never wait until a 1 on 1.

    You can’t come to your manager at anytime when you have an issue. It’s not always because of lack of trust. They are busy managing. I sometimes need to schedule a meeting with my manager to go over a technical proposal and his schedule is busy all day with meetings. That’s not meant to be negative. Also, I’m at a level now that I need to come to a manager with both problems and proposed solutions.

      Of course, but in my case it's as simple as sending an e-mail "Could we talk at your earliest convenience?" Unless of course the issue is not really important - in that case it can wait for 1:1.

    You have to distinguish between yourself as Mr. Nice Guy Manager™ and management culture as a whole where incentives are so ass backwards that people are cutting off their noses to spite their face and kowtowing to a bunch of geriatric co conspirators rather than advocating for the needs of the client relationship and their own so called subordinates this kind of behaviour is nothing more than a pyramid scheme where the prize is coronavirus for everyone

    Actually this whole 1:1 thing is nothing but a prisoners dilemma played out over and over in various ways by people who claim to be experts in game theory but fail to recognize the game is playing them

      Or if you've ever read about the cooperation dilemma which is a variation of this conundrum

  Yes! There's an imbalance no call it what it is 1 > 1
