Thanks for taking the time to provide us feedback. I must say that this review is a first in my career. I've never had an employee complain about too much 1 on 1 time with their manager. It's usually the opposite.
Our managers are expected to have regular 1 on 1's with our Penguins. In those 1 on 1's, you will discuss your projects, development areas, your engagement level, and what we can do to help you constantly improve.
On top of those 1 on 1's, many departments and teams have daily stand ups. Overall, the company follows the Lencioni meeting cadence, which includes daily team stand-ups and weekly tactical (staff/team meetings).
As a company, we have monthly Huddles. We also have monthly Happy Hours in the office and countless other ad hoc get togethers. It's what makes Banker's Toolbox such a special place.
Here is my advice and request for you - if you are feeling that the 1 on 1's and daily stand ups are too much for you, tell your manager directly. It could be how he or she is doing them versus the frequency. Let them know how they could be tailored or adapted to you to make them more valuable for you. While Glassdoor is a useful tool, it doesn't help your specific manager (in this case) unless you talk directly with them. This directness is what you would expect in return if there were a performance issue you wanted to hear about, correct?
Thanks again for the feedback. The feedback office is always open. If you feel so inclined, please come chat about this directly with me anytime.
Best,
Wayne Roberts
Chief Executive Officer
