TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Like a previous post said, "team player" is often HR doublespeak. It can mean
that you work well with others, know your true strengths within a team, and work
to leverage those strengths to make the entire team reach its goal more quickly.
Or it can mean that you greet *every* company initiative with a "Golly, that
sounds real great!" while only using your shovel to hit others in the same
sandbox two days out of five.

That's not a "true team environment." That's a disaster waiting to happen.
