Meaning – The term ‘face time’ refers to the event where an employee gets to see a member of the higher authorities on a personal or face-to-face capacity.
Usually, when an employee is showing promising results at work or has certain grievances that cannot be addressed over an email, he/she requests face time with the manager or someone even above that hierarchy, in order to have a face to face conversation and clear the matter with some meaningful outcome.
A manager may also request face time with an employee if he/she deserves personal praise for the work they are putting in at the organization.
Example of usage – “Since there was no action taken on his request to upgrade the servers of the organization, he decided to have face time with the manager and voice his concerns on a more personal level.”
