In early 1998, after I took a voluntary severance package from IBM, I attended a workshop delivered by HR types to help the recently departed adjust to the world of finding a job. The facilitator for one of these sessions asked us to throw out examples of the type of work environment we would like to find in a new position.
I threw out... "I want to work with smart people".
The facilitator manipulated my response into "I want to work with competent people".
This is not the same.
Fortunately for me, some 7+ years later, I found just such an environment. I'm working for Thoughtworks - a software consulting firm that hires smart people.
