> I dread 1:1s with my manager. I simply do not have that much to say that I do not already say in group meetings or other channels. I find myself racking my brain to come up with agenda items to fill the time and save face.

.... why? My 1-on-1's very rarely go beyond 10 minutes or so specifically because there usually isn't much to discuss, and even then we mostly just jump over some answers to simple questions, then end up bullshitting about whatever else is going on with life at the moment.

Ah interesting, how do they usually conclude for you?

My 1:1s never end early and it feels like we keep on bullshitting for longer than either of us want or need.

I let them know I don't have anything else, ask an open-ended anything on your mind type question, then we call it and get back to work.
