I agree with that, and I feel that the main reason for the lack of "teamwork" thing might have to do with trust. At the job I have now, as sad as it sounds, I have no trust for any of my coworkers and feel very alone there. I don't want to work with people I have no trust for, but since I have no choice, I grin and bare it.
I really wish I could find a job where I did feel like I was a part of a team or important to the company. Every job I've had, I've only felt expendable.
