When someone new moves into the neighborhood, whose job is it to introduce themselves? The person who moved in or the pre-existing neighbors? In this situation, I’m referring to homeowners. However, if you rent, you can chime in too! I’m curious to hear opinions.

I ask because after a year living here I only know three people on my street. Three of which are other homeowners. I grew up in a house and lived there my whole life, outside of college and now, so I didn’t really need to introduce myself. Now I’m wondering what the general consensus is.

Several of the people on the street rent (this wasn’t relayed to use beforehand) and they don’t really speak much. It seems like only the other homeowners say hello or smile in our direction. My next door neighbor on one side has spoken to my husband because they switched our garbage cans accidentally once. But that’s it. The people don’t really seem friendly and we’re still trying to learn the lay of the land.

I tried my luck with bumble BFF for years and I didn’t really meet anyone so I’m wondering if anyone has tried the similar app befriend?

I would love to hear what other L&D professionals workflow looks like as far as trainings go? Is your training team simply you by yourself or is it a team of people? I’d also like to know if you are the sole person responsible for creating the training schedule for the year? If trainings are your primary responsibility, how many trainings do you do in a year’s time or a month’s time?

I ask these questions because my company has never had L&D professional before me. I find myself having to do a lot of the grunt work that I don’t think I should be doing especially because I work at a nonprofit organization. I am being asked to work on several projects at a time, although my title says that I am the trainer.

I brought this up in my annual performance evaluation, and I did communicate the fact that my title needs to change because it is not reflective of the work that I’m actually doing because the truth is I’m doing way more than just trainings. However, I want to focus on the training aspect for now.
