Teamwork for Jerks, Friday
The teamwork classroom was mostly bare today, with bins of Legos scattered throughout the space. Jack leaned against her desk as she began talking, arms folded and seeming totally at ease.
"Sometimes, your team has some crappy job to do that everybody needs to help with," she began. "Doesn't matter if it's not really your job, or if you feel like the whole thing is dumb. If you want the job to be done this year, everybody has to chip in without wasting time whining."
She hit a button on her datapad and projected an image onto the wall. "Today, your crappy little job is building a scale model of a spaceship out of Legos. There are a bunch of you and you have an hour and the blueprints. Remember the point is teamwork, not figuring out who you can do all the work while the rest of you fuck around on your phones." That was inspired by the mechanical genius in class, yes.
"Talk out who should do what, go to work, and if you're efficient you should get pretty far by the end of class."
