I’ve seriously considered this option for sure. These type of meetings at large companies really highlight how you’re just a number. You don’t expect it from your direct manager who should at least attempt to form a relationship with their direct reports naturally.
I spend about 10 hours a week on things like this and others where I’m supposed to constantly remind the company of my value.
