You know those college groups and side projects where there was a group of people and then only a couple or a few actually did anything and the rest attached on for the easy layup? Yep those people end up doing the same thing in the workplace and probably in life.
If you were the deliverer in the college group or project then you will have the same thing in the workplace. Usually people who don't want to be doing it at the time, they might be good but uninterested. I imagine it is extremely unsatisfying to just sit around and not contribute. I work to create and ship, otherwise why do it?
A bad part of this is it isn't always the shippers and doers that get the credit or the notice either, same people like this jump up and take credit to justify their contributions.
Some people go full Costanza.
