How so? The camaraderie that companies try to enforce on their low lever employees with this kind of manipulation is nothing but a ruse.
Why do you think that a whole team of people should be responsible for the inability of some? I have empathy for individual people that start their careers and struggle, but I also believe that if you apply for a job, you should be qualified to do it independently.
camaraderie in a team is a job requirement for me. without it i'll be out of there in no time. i simply do not want to work with people who can't be bothered to be nice and helpful to each other.
i do not want to be just a cog in a machine that grinds out work without any consideration for the project as a whole.
it is also needed to allow new team members to get onboarded faster.
as a hiring manager i find your attitude unwelcome.
That's perfectly fine. I think the world is large enough so we can coexist in peace.
Also I don't dismiss camaraderie that appears spontaneously between coworkers, I was complaining about the company enforced fake camaraderie that gets pushed down everyone's throats with trite team building exercises, company parties, team goals and other methods of hammering people into conformity.

Of course, it's fine to have team members absorb domain knowledge through interactions with their peers, but if that's the only way to on-board them, I most definitely don't want to work for you, but again, that's fine, I'll just look elsewhere.

This is nothing to do with what you said before, about not wanting team performance to be important. Unless you're there to do a very specific job, a lot of performance is actually about team performance. If nothing else, the bus factor on people who want to do things solo makes them an automatic liability.
i agree with the forced stuff. but i expect a level of interaction to be naturally there so that enforced camaraderie is not even needed.

ok, you lost me here. what other way is there? it's not possible to assess all the knowledge a new hire has. if i have to hire a trainer to get them up to speed it will just cost more money and they will not learn the company specific domain knowledge.
in my experience specifically onboarding can only be done by others on the same team. it's a teams responsibility.
