This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

What do you think is different compared to when you join some new company, training or club and you are asked to present yourself to the group?

That happens a lot less than you think. And I try to avoid clubs etc that do that nonsense.

I have done this innumerable times at multiple jobs. Maybe it happens a lot more than you think

[–] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Maybe I just have a good job.

I've had great jobs, introducing yourself at meetings that include people you don't know is just part of it

Depends on the job but this happens all the time for me because I often have to sit in meetings with customers (b2b company) and so usually we have to introduce ourselves at the start of the meeting.

Maybe you are missing some nice encounters then.
