I started cracking up at this point because me and every engineer I know would have said the same thing in response to a survey designed to promote team building.
- gedy 11y agoThe irony is, a lot of the time these "dysfunctional teams" were formed due to some managerial decision, and basically without the team members input. So it's natural to eye-roll when the same management structure comes in to preach about "you need to gel together! We need to measure you!" When people mostly pick who they work with and how, it's usually quite automatic and natural for things to work out without managerial baby-sitting.
