Hi, agree with the other tutors. It's used when you are trying to get someone to co-operate on a particular matter or topic. The other variant is "work with me on this" Some examples: I've really tried to get him to work with me here but he just doesn't co-operate. I've really wanted to her to work with me here, but she has other ideas. If we want to achieve this, I really need you to work with me here.

It is a slang expression that people say when they want someone to cooperate in a situation. For example, A police officer might say this to a person he is interrogating about a crime. He is asking the criminal to trade information for special treatment. "I know you did not plan this, but you were involved. I want to help you, but you are giving me nothing. Come on, work with me here." or A father is talking to his son, asking him to cooperate with the mom on a trip to visit the grandmother. "I know that there are other things you would rather do instead of visiting Grandma, but this is important to your mother. Come on, work with me here." I hope this helps. Good luck!

The phrase us generally used when someone is being stubborn and not assisting you the best of their abilities. Ethan we both know you can do better than this, please work with me so we will finish before mom comes back.

Hi, the phrase "work with me here" is not any special phrase or idiom. It literally means what the word in the phrase all imply. e.g. We're at a field working and you want to go away from our working position or you want to do something else. I can just kindly say: Please "work with me here". Best regards!
