"There is no "I" in team" - as if forcing you to sublimate your creativity, intrinsic drive, and goal-orientation to protect the egos/feelings of those less driven or invested in accomplishment will advance your career much less pay your bills. I bore witness to that shit while working corporate back office in banks/shareholder transfer units between the early '90s to early '00s. What happened? The "I's" who were consistently productive (raises hand...) and thus bringing business into the unit either left or intentionally slowed down their output to match that of the underperformers. As the unit's collective productivity slowed, the time in which shareholders' buy/sell transactions slowed to the point of placing unbearable pressure on management - the people who had to answer directly to the public as to why their one million dollar stock certificate for x shares of Intel was misplaced, why their shares of Motorola didn't clear the Depository Trust Company in a timely fashion after being sold (the cert(s) hadn't been processed yet..), and why they could virtually never get a live person on the phone (who wants to be screamed/cursed at at top volume for something they're unaware of?).
Result: Morale crumbled, the bank's reputation began to suffer at large because of inefficient use of time/sloppiness. In-house IT staff eventually virtualized the procedures of those 400+ jobs via introducing a PC-based system called "Scripps" and management taught a small fraction of employees how to use it. The fraction was kept on-board when a takeover occurred and eliminated 95% of the aforementioned positions. The gradual roll-out of high-speed internet service which allowed the customer to buy/sell/DRIP/et al. from home/wherever would eventually eliminate physical processing industry - regardless of which "team" employees were on.
Lesson: As "nice" as it may to play the role of "team player" and collaborate with one's co-workers, at the end of the day too much coercive "team work" indirectly causes one to warp/lose their vision as to how they can best navigate the corporate hierarchy in service to themselves, their career, and (economic) survival while simultaneously striving to meet the needs of their employer. Had the productive "I's" not been so busy codependently babysitting co-workers, lying, and covering their and everyone else's asses, they would have "seen" the technological change coming, updated their skills as quickly and affordable as possible or jumped ship - all in their own best interest, not that of the "team." I have never seen so many 40, 50, 60+ year-old men and women literally crying upon being assembled in the (very large) lunch room in multiple groups of 40 or so and told that effective as of right now their services were no longer needed. Most of the employees had tenures of 20 or 30 years and were nearing or at retirement age and (unfortunately) were neither never paid very much or simply were unable to save. Several ended up in homeless shelters after losing their homes. Quite a few suffered the humiliation of having to move in with adult children. Two (that I know of) literally ended up on the streets.
