I had a discussion with a friend about the worker shortage. She's having difficulty hiring people, and is having to pay them a chunk more. She is perturbed that she had to bust ass going to school etc to make good money, now people performing jobs that don't require much of any education or skills are getting paid much more than they used to.
This zero-sum mindset is part of the problem, and I'd wager many people have this same mindset. That success is defined by how many people you are "above".
Well, that's one way of looking at zero sum.
I actually had to google it to get the def.
IMHO, teamwork is what really matters, but in some situations, teamwork is dismissed as being somehow counter-productive. Such as, "Oh, you're just protecting the slackers on the team, and they are why the project failed".
It's also not hard to figure out when a project, company, or jobsite is doomed. Everyone is just out for their own benefit, without enough regard for the common goals and objectives. And yes, I've had jobs like that. Much better is the "team of equals" philosophy.

, Useless. So much for "Ignored". You fail again. Plus, Useless, you've been busted too many times for anyone to believe you're not reading my posts, anyhow. It's just your excuse for cowering. Awww.
