There are two types of colleagues, who make the mess, and the ones who clean it
How do I deal with colleagues who don't add amy value in such group projects, and anyway steal credit for the work product?
This statement clearly shows that you've never worked with a someone who isn't from an NLU.
SA asks one A3 to communicate it to 3 others.
2 Associates work damn hard, do some great research till 5pm. Goes to check work done by others.
Finds out 1 was having 'breaks' all day- work done- nil.
The other one does crappy research for many hours. He has no idea what to search.
Frustrated, the 2 good associates now have to research for them, stay till 11.30pm. As they want to report to the SA the next morning in a presentation.
The draft is completed. The shy talented associate who does all the work sits peacefully in the office, gets sidelined by the associate who has excellent people pleasing skills to flatter the SA/PA and take all the credit of the work product.
The laxy associate says to the talented associate, soo sorry yaa, I never inteded to get the credit. You're so talented anyways yaa....
