If there is nothing to discuss, reduce the cadence. It is the employees meeting, not the managers.

If the manager is powerless to address the issues or clarify them, then that is a failing of the manager.

It's 30mins once a week or an hour every two. For an IC, this may be one of your only meetings.

I find weekly is too frequent for all but brand new junior hires. I do insist on at a minimum monthly frequency. I schedule 30 minutes but budget 60 so I never cut them off.

I go with 30m a week, unless requested otherwise by the direct. It’s dependent a bit on personality types.
