Just an update to everyone. This is my third week at the new job, a bit challenging, but I like that, who doesn't! My paycheck will look a lot better anyways and I will be learning a lot about medical systems and devices.
Alone. I've found that people that yell the loudest about teamwork are usually the laziest. I always get things done way faster on my own. I don't care about people personal lives. I don't need to like other people to do my job. Amazes my how many people come in to work and they need stupid ***** like "pizza Fridays" or team building exercises.

team building exercises are useless! i hated those back in college and a few of my prior jobs. and when you're in a mostly female department, then you have the girls' night about drowning yourself in drinks until you have to puke.
I would rather chop my hand off than to sit through my 7th team meeting for the week to listen to people talk about literally nothing for an hour or more at a time.
I don't hate people but the gossip and small talk gets nauseating after awhile... Shallow and meandering... A lot of talk with not much said. Sports. Sex. Partying. Yawn.
Gossip and small talk bore me, I have no use for that.
Then there's the fact that the fastest, most innovative worker or two in the group gets stuck with all the work while the others freeload. Done with that scene. Sure, there's a time and a place for groupwork, but most office scenarios, most business problems, are NOT it.
Group work, and the creep toward increasing amounts of group work in recent jobs, was one of the single largest motivators for me to go into business for myself. Having the freedom to dictate my own pace, come up with as many ideas as I like (and do with them what I wish), and be totally accountable for me, myself, and I (and no one else) was just too alluring to pass up, even when taking into account PTO, benefits, etc.
Alone. You do A, I'll do B, she'll do C and he'll do D and it will all come together in the end. Now leave me be so I can start working on B.
This isn't really alone...... this is a team effort divided up into smaller individual efforts. Without input from the entire team the project can't be completed.
I think people are confusing teams with outings. Working as a team means a group is dedicated to a task and each person in that team has a role to fulfill. Once each role is fulfilled, the team can complete the project.
Sometimes however, one effort as part of a larger team effort may require collaboration. In those instances, it is much easier to work as a team towards the goal than to have individuals stepping on others toes trying to work the same task.
