Everyone, some point of time in his or her career, always seems to have worked for a brilliant team. Where the proverbial “team-work” has helped to tide over humongous challenges or where “individuals could win games but teamwork wins championships” But, unless you’ve worked in a team that exhibits all characteristics of bad team-work (pardon me, what’s the opposite of good team-work?), you ain’t seen nothing yet!

These are really specialized roles, honed by years of experience. 

The CC leads by example, using every opportunity to crib, but behind the boss’s back. For him, every event and action is crib-worthy and nobody is spared of the venom. It’s a wonder how he is able to eke out only the dark clouds to ignore silver linings. His favourite place is the pantry where he assembles his audience to dole out plenty of his negative concoction. The ability to look at the glass as broken, rather than half-empty or half-full or anything else, is considered to be the true talent, if you ever want to excel in this role.

The RS is really the lynchpin of the team and that’s also how the team has been able to stay afloat so far. The RS is able to move things at a speed that others can only talk about! And in that sense she’s the only one who’s contributing, albeit, with a grudge. She just doesn’t care anymore. The once-glowing embers of her enthusiasm have long cooled off to give way to reluctance as she’s realized the futility of her zeal. Why and how the RS has been able to stay back with this team, is a mystery nobody has been able to fathom. Some say that the Boss has got something on her, but nobody’s sure about that.

The BB-PP, loved-by-none and hated-by-all (except the IB, of course), is the chief tormentor of the team. He has risen & stayed at this level by the ability of his sheer incompetence and has remained stuck at that final level for the rest of his career. The ultimate expression of his unabashed ability is even to go and search for his team members in washrooms when he so badly needs them. That, coupled with an inherent & bottomless ability to play politics with everyone and to whatever extent possible, is how he has earned all of his badges so far. That is also how he keeps himself motivated, never mind what the rest of the team thinks.
