One of the many benefits of being retired is not having to deal with these trendy, empty, bs office words. Sure there’s no “I” in team……but there ARE the words “eat” and “me.”
Yep..part of the Socialist Communist jargon being pushed in 2021..I used to hate "team meetings" a total waste kf time for the poor workers that really had to pfoduce something!!! I was always suspicious of these "meetings" and wondered if they were being recorded!!!..... They were.....
Two years away myself... there’s nothing more empty than attempting to listen to or read anything disseminated from the mind of corporate America. The words you derived from “team” are the exact ones I utter to myself anytime I’m forced to listen to, read or watch some training “module” which does nothing to help me in my position. I cannot wait for the day when I walk out for the last time and never look back.
You have to be a "team player" who thrives on "teamwork" to make it in corporate America. And yet studies have shown that the best ideas are generated when one person sits alone in a room. I think I read that somewhere, anyway!
My parents never used the word "team" but everybody worked, everyone of us 4 kids had Morning, Afternoon, Evening and Weekend chores posted on the big frig. No chores, no allowance. Most of my friends were not "constantly On Call" and most played all the time. Two succeeded becoming a famous MD with the BSA "be prepared" and the other took over entire towns gated communities only by best employees and meeting all communities just 1 day a year, 2 fortunes, retired before 50. But one didn't like my folks work first, play later attitude and was told by genius parents, "no rules for your precious personality" , addicted to Meth, snuck in so many HS girls night time bedrooms, ended up in so many jails and prisons. I hated being called out all the time when watching tv or doing homework or just day dreaming as kids do, but 2 other families made kids that couldn't handle adulthood and ended up in prison. Call me lazy, not ambitious, but lucky!
I remember going to a grocery store where the "team" stands in a circle (so everyone can see them). They get a pep talk and then everyone claps like lunatics and they go to work with a smile. It's been a while and I have to admit that at the same grocery store no one seems to give a damn now. It's just a job.
@@drewconway7135 I don't live anywhere near a Walmart now so I buy elsewhere. But I remember the last time I was in one: the cashier looked like she would have shot everyone if she'd been able to get away with it. "Having a bad day."
@@marcopolo7604 Yep. But they self-identified as "team members." On their store voicemails the recording used the same terminology. "One of our team members will be with you shortly."
Good point. I wonder if those of us who appreciate the benefit of teams are in higher and competitive income brackets. Or maybe in certain kind of roles.
So true. When everyone supports the goal and pulls their weight. It's actually nice working on a great team with others. Like knowing you can be out sick or have too much on your plate and others are there to help.
Exactly. Which is why I gag every time the division chief says something about "great teamwork!", when there WAS no teamwork. Oh, man, don't ge me started on the lack of teamwork in my office....the people who disappear for up to two hours (teleworking), thereby not doing their share of the shift work; the lack of communication making my job more difficult; the supervisor who gives employees a hard time about taking time off when she herself doesn't inform her underlings when she'll be out. I could go on.
This is nothing new: I worked for a major international company 15 years ago who referred to all of us employees as “team members”. I thought it was silly and ridiculous back then and it’s a shame this *team* trend hasn’t let up.
And people wonder why I would like to go back to the 1990's, or 80's & 70's for that matter. The outstanding director of _'Its A Mad Mad Mad Mad World'_ (1963), Stanley Kramer himself, wouldn't be able to predict these insane times we live in.
The world was never made to be perfect and not everyone likes the same thing, and certain complaints are made, but then again, we'd always want to keep it to ourselves, most of the time.

How in the heck did I turn from "employee" into an "associate" ?! I surely never saw it on my paycheck. Euphemisms have been largely avoided by most good people. Sad

And they did it as a collaborative TEAM.
I don't like the word "Team". It makes me feel responsible for other people's opinions and actions. Let me alone to do my own work and I will satisfy. Relying on others, I've found, can kinda be a real let down.

I work in corporate America and I don’t have any issue with the word “team.” I use it often, and saying “my team” is a lot easier than saying “myself and all of the other people I work with who have the same boss.” Think of how much time the little word saves me-though that’s nothing compared to the amount of time I save by not giving a flying eff that it might be an overused buzzword.

Before team you were addressed by YOUR NAME
“Team” like every other corporate buzzword is a joke. I’m glad my job is solo and I do not have to stomach that bullsh*t.

That's not a team. It's a labor group.
Sounds like Walmart

I worked for a company that called us associates & I thought that was bad 👎! If I'm part of a team then pay me a competitive wage 😆

You're on a team if the group actually feels like a team.

Hmm. I’ve always liked being part of the team. Maybe she’s hoping to make us laugh? I don’t know

Does every single word have to "problematic" now? We're really running out of words, y'all.
There is no “I” in team and there is no intelligence in this segment.
This is nothing new: I worked for a major international company 15 years ago who referred to all of us employees as “team members”. I thought it was silly and ridiculous back then and it’s a shame this *team* trend hasn’t let up.
Nothing wrong with team. Wheelhouse is an overused term.
this looks like something the daily show will make
i never used the word team and i would not work for anyone that called it's workers a team. i am responsible for what i do not a team.
Well some of us actually work on teams though.
Good grief. Everybody Hass to complain about some thing. Eyes rolling.

Hate 'team,' 'unpacking, 'drill down,' 'reach out.'
Let’s unpack this comment Terri. Jk.
Team = Forced labor
Team = Involuntary Servitude
Team= A group of people trying to solve an incredibly complicated problem in a very short period of time...and getting blamed for it's failure if things don't succeed...
Team= A group of individuals that will attack the comments made here just to satisfy their egos.....
I've always hated that corporate speak! And team is a very over used word! Of course I don't worship the corporate gods.
How in the heck did I turn from "employee" into an "associate" ?! I surely never saw it on my paycheck. Euphemisms have been largely avoided by most good people. Sad
When I hear the word team, I think of football helmets and basketballs. "Me and my teams" sounds arrogant.

Yes, daily show presentation. Presenter has no clue, it’s an internet researched (daily show) presentation.

Ok so it's over used. There's literally hundreds of overrated terms these days for example cor- virus.
Pandemic was the word of the year, last year, so....there's that.
Flight, squadron, group...

Team is corporate speak for manipulating the people into compliance of the corporate doctrine! Obey.
I have a feeling this video essay was supposed to be some blend of "insightful" and "humorous," but I think it missed the mark.
You're a little late to this one, Faith, by about a decade. You're not funny either.

You've been programed.
I can safely miss the fluffy nonsense this reporter turns out.
This is not only moronically woke, it's ironic. I thought leftists and Marxists were all about collectivism, ergo "the team".
As my dad says, Salie, "teamwork makes the dream work".
Uhhhhhh. Where is the red headed comedian. Hope he is just on vacation.
There are better and pressing topics to discuss than the use of the word “team”. This is such a waste of bandwidth.
Someone get this thing to the loony bin..
This is a joke right ?
Ugh. Team is such junk speak.
