Enteprise Workspaces, Members, and Teams is horribly confusing

With our enterprise account, it is very confusing over who has access to what with workspaces, members, and teams.

• I expect to be able to create teams agnostic to any workspace or project. I could then assign that team to a product, file, or similar object. If it does work that way, I can’t figure it out.
• I am befuddled as to why I create a workspace, then can’t add members, but only teams. But then the project has 0 members?
• Forcing me to create a workspace then a project then adding a team results in too much structure.
• Also, from a permissions standpoint I keep getting my co-workers with a company email address telling me they don’t have access to files when I’ve added them to workspaces, teams, or whatever I can.

Please simplify this experience.
