I think that "team player" is used in the work environment to avoid competition between employees. They're just trying to convince everyone to work together, as a team, rather than competing against each other. :)


One of the reasons I was removed from my position last year was because I was not a "team player." Essentially, I provide Government oversight for the safety of the Naval Self-Defense Weapon System I am assigned. I had identified some safety requirements that my system was not meeting. Since I would not sweep this fact under the rug like the Program Office people wanted me to, I was let go.

Then didn't they give you two conflicting sets of instructions? I don't understand how anyone could manage safety while at the same time keeping things unsafe. And why wouldn't they want to fix the errors?

Might want to think twice about sitting on it or it might get angry and scratch you.
