I just started a new job a month ago and still getting aquatinted with things. I attended a meeting with my manager to kind of shadow her on what she does. One of the people in the meeting ended up sending me an invite for a “meet and greet” thing. Should I mention it to my manager? I didn’t think anything of it at first, but it felt like I was being interviewed.

It's common. Anytime I have a new hire on my team, I give them a list of people they should schedule intro calls with within the first month. That's how you figure out what everyone does in the org and build an internal network so you have resources who you can tap into over time.

Meet and greets are fairly common and yeah, they can feel a bit like an interview, unfortunately.

I wouldn’t worry about it, but you can certainly mention to your manager “I had a 1-1 with so and so”

They are common and a great way to get to know people outside "team" meetings. I have always witnessed them being more casual and I always offered a follow up to review in two weeks.
