I do think there exist work teams that don’t suck (and/or if they are framed properly they’re a lot more reasonable. When I worked at a large corporation and had to interface both with my team and with HR in order to build an automated-HR-system, I had an initial period of being frustrated by my boss and and the HR contacts I worked with. But I enjoyed working with my coworkers, I eventually got a different boss, and I built a better relationship with the HR person which resulted in a much smoother experience.
And that seemed fine.
I learned coordination at various other jobs over time, and (admittedly less generalizable) group houses full of rationalists.
