This is why, one on ones are great but you should also occasionally meet your manager and talk with them in a less formal setting. If you're out at dinner celebrating a new project release (especially if the drinks are flowing) - then you'll hear about all the shit they're keeping off your back.

Haha! More likely that I’ll get a pat on the back and the privilege to come back next week for more. But a dinner? With drinks?? Sheesh, do you think this company is made out of gold, son?
