It’s fascinating to me that the comments are intensely polarized between the crowd that thinks weekly 1:1s are a giant waste of time, and the crowd that thinks 30 minutes a week isn’t nearly enough.
Out of curiosity: to the folks on either side of the fence, is this something you’ve posed (either upstream or downstream, as the case may be), and if so, what was the response?
- rpmisms 5y agoI'd love to have a weekly 1:1 with a good manager. Bi-weekly with my current one is plenty.
- akerl_ 5y agoI can feel this. At this point in my career, “who will my manager be” is essentially the #1 question I ask when considering any new project/team/etc. As is seemingly obvious from the comments on this post, the divide in experience between “horrible manager”, “meh manager”, and “good manager” is huge.
- rpmisms 5y agoMy direct report is awesome. The guy I do 1:1s with is decent. Department head should not have any direct reports. Too abrasive.
