I would go absolutely insane if I had to have a 1-on-1 with my manager every week. I’m sure some people love it, but it’s not for everyone.

I thought so too. Then i joined Google, where it’s mandatory. After some time I learned to see the value. Ever since i left Google i tried to have them, but managers dont seem to buy into this idea, and i miss it dearly

Why didn't you like them and what changed your mind?

completely agree. 1 on 1s in my experience (25 years with lots of managers) is they have no value for me.
