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.
Not to mention when I conduct technical interviews we have to introduce ourselves although you get more control over the introductions when you are the interviewer.
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
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

Maybe you are missing some nice encounters then.
