Let's say we use scale 1 to 10 (10 = Excellent). Also, up-vote if your experience is positive, down-vote if you experience is negative.

My leader quit and I haven’t known who I work for since. This has happened enough that I will probably be the leader soon
What meetings? They never occur.
Based on recent townhalls and manager meetings I think the op was JE.
Never answer those HR surveys sent to you in confidence. They are basically asking you to rat out your manager. If you do that, they use it as a basis to curb mutiny and fire you!
Better collect documentation against your manager for the outside lawyer so that you can file a harassment lawsuit against termination. Never make friends with HR or management. Their role is to protect the company from risks. That includes you!
Never happens.
I love them, get myself a nice cup of coffee. Afterwards I go and have nice dump on the toilet and when I get back I will go outside to the smokers area but wont smoke. And then I will get myself a cup of coffee. And then 2 hours have passed and I can almost go home.
Just another useless meeting we have to go to.
Ask hard questions, get no answers. Boss just wanted to get it done to say it was done.

Freaking waste of time!!!!!
Use that time to ask all the hard questions.
Let’s just say it’s a check mark on my ultra-valuable Standard Work checklist.
I ended up mentoring my manager. I was better connected than he was. Often, I told him reality and he “corrected” me. The next session he would be shocked I had been right, and then we would do it again...
Fun way to confirm unwritten rules. It was easy to manage him into telling me what I wasn’t supposed to know.
Then I left Hon.

Just a "check the box" activity for a manager that doesn't really want to deal with any real issues anyway. So I think he liked it. But for me a waste of time.
1 Waste of time, nothing new week after week. Have better things to do with my time
I will give it a 4. Not quite sure the point of the 1 on 1. It usually is just a bull session, with no bearing on day to day operations. I cancel the vast majority of them as I have too much real work to do. Has no bearing on raises or promotions and provides little to no mentoring or insight into company topics. Most of the managers I have had over the years agree that it is just part of playing the game, and have little to no value. I think it is more of a social experiment.
My managers quit so fast I don’t bother to learn where they sit.
Last time I found my way to their office I asked to work full time and they started spouting off townhall slogans about all the “work” that has been on the horizon for the last two years.
