This sounds incredibly cynical. My experiences have been to the contrary on every point.

Great managers do exist, but you have to make sure that you are held accountable as much as they do you.

1:1 time is as much as their job as it is yours to develop a story and convictions in what you need.

I don't disagree. But this cynical comment comes as average on decades of experience.
