What do your discuss with your reports in your 1 on 1 meetings?
Hi guys!
I am an individual contributor in STEM in a corporate setting. I find myself not needing regular check-ins with my manager.
I am not one to vent about small social frustrations and he hasnt, until more recently started doing anything about big frustrations such as chronic underperformance.
My manager is a really fantastic and kind person, but has long lost his technical ability so he cant help me in that sense.
He also isnt very assertive so meetings discussing my career progression (earning and/or learning) have also stopped being fruitful for me. He usually just expresses his frustration of not having any control over increasing my salary or the budget related to learning opportunities.
Other ICs will have 45 minute long check-ins every two weeks with their people leaders. I barely have anything to say even when we only check in once every 2 months.
Am I missing something??
