#2I think 1on1s are the managers Swiss army knife and the best way to support employees in their development.
If possible I do them as walk'n'talks, people are more open and ideas often flow better when walking outside the office.

#3Wow, this is amazing.
I can't help but think of all the sarcastic answers I would give the so-called manager with a slight grin on my face.
Seriously, I think this list is a potent illustration of modern management bullcrap.
Come on guys, don't do this to your team, they are not children...

“What did you want to be when you grow up” feels a bit out of touch.

Do you not like the substance of the questions, or do you not like the delivery of the questions in this list? After reading through a small sample, I agree with you that if you asked these questions verbatim it would be ridiculous. And this list is kinda massive, so there are probably some that truly are not useful.
The substance behind some of the questions could be useful IMO. One would need some rapport and context to use them. If they were reworded and delivered in ways that made more sense for those people, it could be helpful.

Sarcasm and cynicism are signs of burnout. If ones arrives there, change to a job which actually is satisfying for you. No need to spend yourself and others on unhappy job.

Your manager asking is a sign they're trying to help you and understand you. You can rebuff that but then you shouldn't wonder in the future why your job isn't going the way you want it to (and why your coworkers aren't having the same issues).

Yes might be, and I would agree. Although it could be a great opener for finding out what the person wants. I have often found it the hardest thing to help find out what the person I had 1on1s with wanted to become (or not, e.g. a manager). Sometimes people have a clear vision, sometimes it took a year. Everyone was happier though.
