  I haven't needed such a thing since high school, but
some people don't have that luxury.

    I noticed a news tidbit
the other day where Bill Gates was asked how he would
respond if a Microsoft job interviewer asked why they should
hire him. Part of his answer was that he's a team player.
I very much doubt that. Maybe he meant team captain.
But it struck me that the idea of being a "team player"
(AKA willing to be a lackey who takes orders) has become
an almost universal euphemism in employment ads these
days. So I imagine most people probably have to put up
with whiteboard meetings, and now Zoom pep rallies, so
the boss can see that you're doing the Walmart Wiggle.
