man listen... I like my job. I really do. Key words though... MY JOB... I do MY JOB well... What I DON'T do well is OTHER PEOPLE'S job. So when you come at me on some "WE gotta do this or that"... I get a tad bit peeved. ESPECIALLY when I point out the face that there are already mechanisms, protocol, teams, staff, etc. entrusted with doing exactly what you're saying "WE" gotta do. And then to hit me with the "WE all are obligated to please OUR client".... FOH..ALLLLLLLTHEWAYOUTTAHERE.... WE all have individual responsibilities that equal pleasing the client. I handle mine. YOU handle yours. THEY handle theirs. And everything will be cool. If I'M fcking up..cool...let me know. If YOU fcking up..cool...i'ma let you know. If THEY fcking up..cool...we can let them know. But I don't expect YOU to do MY job. YOU shouldn't expect ME to do YOUR job or THEIR job. Nor take ownership of THEIR lack of doing THEIR job.... WHY? Because then lines get blurred, folks forget, start to think that MY job is the SAME as THEIR job and when shit goes left they thinking I'M the one that fcked it up... Nah B.

"We gotta start respecting our women and quit abusing them physically and mentally, quit leaving them high and dry with the kids, quit cheating on them, blah, blah, blah."
No, nigga, YOU need to start respecting women and quit abusing them, cheating on them, and abandoning them with the kids! I don't do any of the crap that you're trying to lump me in with you on.

They design; I build, then the last leg maintains. I'm part of an overall process...but I don't know if i'd call it a "team" environment in that sense. My other coworkers in the "Build" component are part of what i'd consider MY team.

that doing your own shit as well as possible is actually the best thing for the project. If your company is working for a client, there is nothing like a bad one to galvanize everyone though.

some folks I might let them hang out to dry in their own crap.. ultimately it's a team though so work toward the goal. personally I have issues with authority and being told what to do but am the opposite way with clients/customers and am damn near OCD about the quality of what I produce.. I have no desire to let the end product fail because of a weak link unless that weak link really needs to get got... we all mess up occasionally so having a team that is cohesive and helps lift/support each other is pretty nice to have and you don't have that when you stick solely to your own scope.

At least mentality you aren't on the same page with what being on a team is about. Yeah your group or department is your immediate team but all those other little departments are all pulling in the same direction as you as one unit.
If you were s boss of a large group and someone told you that same mentality you would see it as a problem. You seem to be down for WE in the highs but not the lows. Can't have it both ways.
