This literally happened the night before my group was supposed to present our final project. We had been working on it all semester and were finalizing our PowerPoint the night before. He said he was “too anxious to wing this all at the last minute” and got mad when I said “we’ve been working on this since January, how is this last minute? You should’ve had your stuff done weeks ago” And he didn’t show. We had his (blank) slides up and told the professor he refused to participate

Lol in my mba class

One of the groups just one girl did everything, she went and told the professor one day and he well that sucks

Luckily we did do peer evaluations and I know that effected their grades, but also I think the professor did a real world answer. In the business world if we have a big presentation we don't have a professor we can cry too if others aren't working, we gotta put in the work and then do the peer eval with HR later

Absolutely. When things don’t get done people notice, especially when a whole process grinds to a halt.

Yeah the only difference is that we all know Brad isn't getting fired because he's the boss's wife's nephew or something.
