As a partner, we put a lot of meaning into knowing/sharing partner numbers. This number could make you the hero when treating the kid‘s soccer team to a post game treat.
Or it could open doors for you when you needed to get into the SSC for your next meeting.
Or it put you in an honored era of “pre-Bean Stock” or “post-Bean Stock”.
I still remember my number... it’s quick to my mind whenever someone asks about my Partner days...
Do you still remember yours?
when we assigned partner numbers in 1986, the first two digits of your number tied to a letter of the alphabet. D's started at 12. So my number was 12100. Which is why some people who were there earlier had longer numbers than those who came later when the new payroll system was put in place.
