I was referring to when I worked in an office and we had projects with deadlines. Some people just showed up for work and did little to aid the project at hand. I suppose I should have clarified that in my previous comment.

I had been thinking about team work.
I can even remember one time in high school; during science/biology class and we were partnered up with another person the teacher choose. At the time it didn't click in my head but some people were complaining about how their partner wasn't doing any of the work but took the grade/recognition.
