Red Flags Employees Should Look Out For In Their Manager

To learn how workers can advocate for themselves if they’re stuck in any of the given situations, BuzzFeed reached out to Sam, who said, “[If] one-on-ones are simply status updates [or if] you don’t have one-on-ones with them at all, request a weekly or biweekly one-on-one with your immediate supervisor. This is essential for both of you, as you need to be aligned when it comes to short-term and long-term goals, strategic direction changes, and your ongoing development.”

“The agenda for your one-on-ones should include questions you have on current projects, your weekly wins and challenges, goals status check-in, and at least 15 minutes on your professional development, [such as] areas in which you excel, skills you’re actively working on, and your short- and long-term career goals.”
