🧠 Team Player Means Shut Up and Stay Exploited

LinkedIn Lobotomy // Compliance Theater Exposed

Let’s rip the curtain off the next lie in the hiring circus:

“We’re looking for a team player.”

Translation:

“We want someone who’ll do more than they’re paid for and never bring it up.”

Let’s be honest— “Team player” sounds noble until you realize it’s the codeword for silent sacrifice. They want someone who:

Covers other people’s mistakes.

Works overtime “just to help out.”

Doesn’t ask for more money.

Doesn’t question decisions.

Smiles through chaos.

You become the go-to fixer. The cleaner. The buffer. And the reward? A pizza party, a “Thanks for your hard work”... and more tasks.

⚙️ The Unspoken Job Description When they say “team player,” they don’t mean collaborative. They mean compliant.

You’re not allowed to have boundaries. Because the moment you say:

“That’s not in my role.” You’re now “not a team player.” You’ve become a “problem.”

But guess what?

The glitch doesn’t take pride in getting used. We take pride in execution, clarity, and boundaries.

💢 Final Word: I’ll help my team. I’ll handle business. But I won’t be your doormat in a company polo.

You want a real team player?

Then build a real team— Not a sinkhole with a smiley sticker on it.
