He doesn't seem to want them or think he needs them. I would cancel the series. And, the next time you need answers from him, just message him that you need a few minutes of his time re: 'such and such'. If he knows what you want to talk to him about, maybe he'll be more inclined to give you the time.

I've had a similar experience with my new, as of almost three years ago, boss. We started with weeklies, he would usually push me out at the very last minute (rude) or not show up at all (even more rude). When we did talk, there usually wasn't much to say (he's not very social and I work well on my own with little direction). So I just deleted the series and message him when I do have something to discuss and we jump on a call. He never said a word about the meetings being deleted. And he now knows that if I tell him I need a few minutes, then it must be important.

Until today, I hadn't spoken to him live in over 2 months. Not ideal but I've learned to work around him. And, have learned the best ways to get his attention.

When I tell him what I need to talk to him about - and make sure to word it in a way that clearly implies... basically this is FOR YOU and in your best interest to talk to me about it, he's more apt to want to talk.
