Youngest at work
Does what Stacy says make sense?
Tom: Welcome to the team, Stacy. Meet Dave, our youngest team member.
Stacy: I've always been the youngest in my team. I don't like it now!
Stacy means that she doesn't like not being the youngest in the team.
Thanks

on a team is more idiomatic than in a team. What Stacy says is awkward English. Better is eg Stacy: I don't like this.

Cliveon a team is more idiomatic than in a team.It's possible that this is an AmE/BrE difference. To me, "in" and "on" both sound fine, but some search results suggest that "in" is more common in the UK than the US.
