anyone seen "team player" on a job post and been excited about it =-=
I get PTSD every time so I'd appreciate some stories where the word was used meaningfully. in my case it was a manager who would bully people into overtime except there wasn't any work to do. she was just stressed and kept bullying people to be at the office late in the evenings or when they got home or start blasting their phone on the weekends because "ohno something broke so our whole team should be all hands on deck". so if a staging database was broken and the system admin who synchronized all the fields messed something up then she would stick us into a 4 hour meeting of her chitchatting about how she hates the client... inviting q&a and all the software architects and programmers... for a fucking column in a database being configured slightly incorrectly. and talking the ear off the system admin so he can't fix it and we're all stuck there for 6 hours. after the sys admin argued with her for 2 hours to no avail how I'm not necessary during these I started dodging her phone calls and she decided we should all suddenly do "team reviews" and wrote beside my name that I'm not a team player. the CEO threw the paper out and viewed it as a waste of time and it was forgotten... but what the fuck does team player mean other than "let me abuse you and ignore your priorities and then bully you when you do alternative measures to deal with me" =-=
