Comment on Ask HN: How do you have effective 1:1s with your manager?parent

This sounds horrible.

Once a week is way too often in my opinion, and the whole setting is much too formal.

I prefer 1-to-1s to be informal without agendas. Once a month is enough. It is a time to build rapport and trust and obviously it has to be "synchronous" and in person if possible.

I used to do every other week with my previous manager and I feel like that was an appropriate pace. Unfortunately my new manager wants to do it every week and that's definitely way too frequent.
