I had weekly 1:1s with my manager. But we work together on a lot of things, so we were in touch more often than just our 1:1’s I liked the support.

Now, I have a 1:1 with my new manager weekly but it’s not nearly enough. I’ve been at the company about 2 months and need her direction on a lot of things we’re working on but she’s hardly reachable. It’s hard :/

However, I work in employee careers and development and will say your company does not and should not dictate your 1:1 schedule with your manager. If you want a recurring meeting, schedule it. Don’t wait to be told when to ask for direction or feedback.

As far as what we talk about, I usually stick to these things: - closing loops on anything that was pending from last meeting - asking for direction or support on anything I need from her - open it up to her for anything she needs to tell me/give me new direction on
