Over the last 2 days, I’ve met damn near a million people at my current project. The project has been going on for a few months now, so everybody else knows everybody else, and there’s a constant rhythm that comes from people knowing what they’re supposed to be doing. Everybody works together, and each person (ThoughtWorkers and Client Employees alike) are all working seemlessly together. This is a great thing, but for somebody new to the team (me, for example), it can be confusing.
I want to be able to know who the ThoughtWorkers right from the get go. Have any of the other TWers run into this problem? My solution is to create a ThoughtWorker “sign.” Something that we all know, but is sly enough to keep somewhat secret. That way when we meet we can both flash the sign and know we’re on the same page…or at least that we work for the same company.
Am I out of my mind? Is this totally unneeded? And of course, who’s got a recommendation for what the sign should be?
