Meet the new Guy

Call me a misanthrope, but it bothers when a new person gets hired and the HR person decides that the new person should walk around the entire company and meet everyone. Maybe it is only in small companies, but I digress. So they walk into your office/cube/closet and say, "Hi Josh, This is X he/she is our new blank." So what happens next? That is the problem, I don't think anyone knows what happens next. If this introduction is supposed to be a simple introduction then we should here, "Hi X, I'm Joshua Grippo and I'm a blank. It's good to have you on board if you need anything let me know." Then X is supposed to say, "great, nice to meet you." Now Miss/Mr. HR is supposed to say, "OK, Josh have a good day see you later." and then walk away, but that isn't what happens. They stand there and let you have awkward silence with X. Thanks way to foster business relationships.
