1:1 should be the moment for you to discuss with your boss what you should be doing to maximize the value you bring to the company.. those things often are not as black and white as they seen..

it is also the moment you share your career goals with your manager and for you two to discuss the goals you should achieve to be eligible for a promotion..

unfortunately more often then not promotions are the carrot that companies dangle in front of us to make us work harder with no intention on ever giving us the reward at the end..
