I have a job to pay my bills. I do not have a job to play pretend friends with my coworkers who won't give two shits if I get fired, quit, or die in a week. Anything I say to them can and will be used against me in the court of HR. There's no benefit to engaging with them beyond having my time wasted by listening to them talk about their insufferable lives.
Teams are groups of people working together to achieve a common goal where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Any further prescription is management gaslighting.
