I don't think our team is that competitive with one another, but once in a while you can sense some territorial protection going on.
Are your coworkers competitive? Are you competitive?

We are all type A so mostly just control freaks.

When I worked they weren't. I'm in social work so it's important to be a team and work together, not against.

haha not even close! the ladies i work with do what they have to do and that's it. nothing more! i'm super competitive, and know i'm better than them lol jk

Some are, as I would call them, climbers. They are very ambitious and have plans to climb up the ladder and, even though we are friends, won't actively help you if you're working towards the same thing.

Not even, if we weren't such a close team, we wouldn't function at all. It often feels like it's us against corporate, trying to protect our students' best interests.

Not even a little. The department I just moved from was full of extremely lazy people. They didn't care one iota about moving up. The department I just started at is not competitive, but in a healthy way. It's only a three person department, and the other woman at my level has already told me flat out that she doesn't want boss's job, so I'm being primed to take it!
And yes, I am competitive, but I haven't had anyone to compete against in a while. It's the reason my work ethic made me stick out and got me promoted!

@Rubies: i never thought competitiveness exists amongst teachers! But that is annoying, for sure.
