'It was evident who was a contributor and who was a leech': Teacher doesn't let slackers get off scot-free in college group project fail

Whether we like it or not, group projects are one of the earliest signifiers in life of who's trustworthy and who isn't. Whether you're in second grade, junior year of college, or well into your professional career, collaboration can be especially annoying when your team members, to put it bluntly, suck. In this instance, these group project members seemed to really suck.

 

This Redditor was among the few productive team members for this college marketing project, and everyone had literally all semester to prepare their fair share of the work before the final presentation. However, just 24 hours before the project was due, it became quite clear that they didn't have enough material to submit, mostly due to the work (or lack thereof) of a couple of slackers. At this point, the Redditor had no choice but to ask for an extension from the professor and explain why. Keep scrolling below to see how this all turned out for the slackers on the team (I'll give you a clue: it didn't turn out well!).
