My almost 90 minute 1:1 with my boss today was the best I've ever had in my entire career.

I cannot recall a single manager who gave me 90 uninterrupted minutes of their time. Rare moment. Great to hear you get it!

You were talking to the mirror weren't you. ;)
I'll just be over here catching some of that pride glow and feeling good for you.

Yeah I'd be interested to hear what made it useful. I do 1:1s with my team members and it's usually discussing what they have going on and how their pets and family are.

I remember having one of those with my former boss

. Was a “come to Jesus moment” to grow up and evolve. Never forget it!

That's awesome!!! My anxiety always gets the better of me going into those meetings and imposter syndrome kicks into high gear 😅

Love to hear it. I had some great 1:1s a few years back and really wish I could recapture that energy.

We did about 30 minutes of 1:1 today, and half of it we spent grumbling about this year's new HR performance-feedback software system, which could have handily taken the entire time if we'd wanted to.

This sounds cool. Did you have something prepared to talk about? I'm just struggling to know how to fill out 90 minutes. Awesome though

That is awesome and the best thing when you have great bosses. I have had horrible bosses before and this is why I also think skip level 1:1s should be a thing and management feedback surveys. When your mgmt is great though it makes a world of difference
