Do you hate working in groups?

At university, the people in my group are always lazy and stupid. I usually end up doing everything. Does this happen to you?

Answers:
Yes. Something about me must say "pushover" because the minute people find out I'm smart (I'm fairly popular and am not at all nerdy, so people assume I'm an idiot) they try to get me to do things for them! If I like whoever it is, usually I'll do it, but if not and they're using me, I just use a lot of big words and a fake accent to say no and they leave me alone. Ha. It's taken me ages to figure out that technique, but it works!
hell yea! i always end up do'n all the work!
yes
Yes, and I hate it.
Groups not really my thing can accomplish more alone, but sometimes it helps to work in groups if all people participate.
Just working full stop is a hate of mine!

Im nearly falling asleep here, but my boss sits opposite so would notice if I did!
I thought i would never say this,
Been there, done that.
I think this is why I like to be by myself a lot.
I love working in a group.But not with lazy goose
Yes, I can quite honestly say I am not a team player, I find they slow me down.
everytime! but put it this way..

1. when a group is formed be the leader..
2. give each of your friends a work to do..
3. and make sure u say, not to copy paste it from the internet, just try to summerize it.
and at the end make a guy (probably u), to collect from the each of the guy and make the final report

worked for me..

it's never Ez, but it's not to Hard either!
yes. I hate working in groups because in addition to the project assigned an additional project is Created..getting all group members to share the work and on a timely basis!

You know what I do? after the initial meeting of the group when different jobs are assigned, I wait and see who does or does not do what. Then I find out who will pick up the slack other then me. If no one does I do.

I only care about my grade and will do what it takes to get the job done. As far as the "slackers" go.to H--- with them.
doesn't really happen to me - but I could be so self absorbed that I don't really notice. I like working in groups. It's not so much about the work that gets done but a good group dynamic is satisfying. Ask to switch groups or soemthing - or next time see if you can't choose your own group.
I usually do that sometimes and have the people do my work for me. I usually though return the favor by giving them some work that I truely understand for free. Its all about connections and who you know.
no
usually the smart people sit back and wait for the control freak to take over and do everything. then the smart ones who've figured out the group dynamics already can put their energy into something more worthwhile.. like chatting up someone..
For me, no coz working in groups means cooperate with others with all you can. thats is true..ok if they are lazy or stupid dont be a angry vey fast coz if you are a leader or a member too be a strong guy and dont be stupid too like they doing coz you can be very nice man and good man than them. and if they are no participation so let them go coz that is there own life thats not your own life if they dont like you to be a leader justlet go..
Absolutely, good point. I can get things done a lot better if I work alone. I deal with my own projects from conception to birth; estimating, designing, purchasing, assemblies and installations. If there were loads of people pitching in I wouldn't have a clue what's what or where anything is.
Your situation is sometimes happening to me.I do hate sometimes working on a group because the members doesn't help you completing the project or what is required.they tend to sort out to you('the leader of the group")to be the one to make the project.

sometimes also the group doesn't honor your ideas or your suggestions maybe because they underestimate your capabilities.
Yes, I work better when I work single.
But, it is essential in these days, that we work in groups. Be whatever the nature of the group members, we have to adjust to them and get the assignment complete.
YES! Why? Because I end up doing most of the work anyway, so I might as well work alone.

Yep u r right! Has happened to me a couple of times too. Sometimes I have lucked up on a good group where it works the way its supposed to but for the most part u r correct! Most people are lazy and looking for a free ride. If they see hunger in you and you show initiative they are like yeah let me sit with that person so I can slide by.
At school I always had the opportunity to choose our partners or group. This is why you need to know your class mates. I would prefer smaller groups, because then it is easier to keep tract on the others. When you know someone has a bad record, you stay away from them.
shut up, at least you are not in a god damned basement with a wonky ftir machine and as much nitrogen in the air as anything else, think yourself lucky you have people to work with even if they are not there, perhaps they leave you to do the work because they dislike your arrogance.
i just cannot work in a group, i prefer to do everything myself, despite my procrastination and down right laziness. When given a good kick up the backside i can achieve anything i want to. If i want to that is!
