Team player

[Employee] is a "real team player" may be code for they are very agreeable or a people-pleaser, and this may or may not indicate that this person tends to support the perspectives of others rather than advocating for their own stances. This phrase may also be used SARCASTICALLY to imply that the individual is perceived as being the opposite of a "team player," as in they might be viewed as argumentative, contrarian, selfish, or unsupportive of colleagues (just because someone perceives this to be the case about someone does not mean that it is true). (Is there a page on sarcasm?) When a job application states that they are looking for a "team player," this may mean that they are looking for someone who will "stick to the status quo."
