To those who have a job

What is team work like in the place where you work? Also can you state where you work :L

I do not have a job and therefore cannot answer this question but will post anyway as there's a competition on and it seems you're allowed to do things like this

When i worked in morrisons the teams where split quite a bit, mainly like different departments of the store but in general everyone would help out each other even if it weren't there job to do so, such as if you were going around collecting cardboard and you saw someone was on there way to go and put something into the warehouse, they'd take the skip for you, little things like that.

I work in the Army, and when on tour working in teams is about life or death.
You need to basically trust your life with someone elses, and vice versa! It's all about communication. Due to this, the army encourage you to always bond with your team mates, to gain trust in one another.

Obviously when working in civi street it's not quite the same, but the general team working is.
Being is the Army is like having a new family.. I can trust my team mates with my life, no shadow of a doubt, we get into trouble more than often, and probably more than we should! but we don't go down individually! If we do something as a team, we go down as a team, even if it was only one of us that was in the wrong, we all own up and say it was a joint decision.

Loyalty is the best part of a team.

I work in a pub, everyone is pretty much friendly, team work is fine unless you're a social ******.

[Charlottay!]

I work in the same place Matt does, in Morrisons.

As he said teams are really split up into departments such as frozen, fresh, grocery, produce etc etc. I'm not familiar with Matt's Morrison's as they're all going to be different but with the same principles enforced. Within my department (grocery) each member of the team is split into different isles. Most of the time just one person is left to work just one isle, but sometimes there can be multiple people working one isle.

We have a department manager, assistant department managers and supervisors, as well as normal sales assistants. The supervisors and higher staff usually walk around dealing with the managers above them and occasionally help you with your work and problems. Other staff can also work your stock, help you face up (make the isle look great, pull items forward etc) and bail cardboard, stack trolleys or pull pallets out for you.

:) Hope this helped!

I work in a hotel as a bar manager.

Team work is vital for us otherwise we are there untill silly o'clock in the morning. Everyone needs to be pulling their weight if people aren't then they don't last long under my managment and I fire them.

I work at the airport, making sure people don't block the entrance. Geeze, you wouldn't believe how many people I have to kick out the door!

I'm a white water raft guide along the Colorado river, no team work at all, really.
I lead the boat, I'm the only one in control of the oars, and I basically have to explain what people are seeing around them, so it's just me, I don't even see anyone who I work with all day.
Sometimes I'll meet up with another boat for lunch/dinner, which is nice because I'm in charge of cooking every thing and it's a pain in the ass to do yourself, but yeah, not a whole lot of team work. I like it, working alone's lush.
