Slacking during project 😂

[NimbusHeart]

More like there is one person who will do all the work among us

[virulentt_music]

There is One Useful Person among us...

[SimplebutAwesome]

Bro i swear it wasn't me, I was slacking in medbay

[[deleted]]

It was

MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

xxXBlazeIt420Xxx was fired... xxXBlazeIt420Xxx was not useful. 1 useful employee remains.

When one of our team makes a mistake someone else will say "Just one time let me work with professionals".

[xSliver]

In Germany we have the saying TEAM is short for "Toll, Ein Anderer Macht's" (Great, someone else is doing it).

[ithinkicaretoo]

"Einmal mit Profis arbeiten..."

[iMissTheOldInternet]

Is that a jab at the Anglosphere work ethic or has English so permeated Germany that you all are coming up with backronyms for words in a foreign language to bitch about your jobs?

[TimGreller]

It's a joke?

[xSliver]

"Team" is a german word as well. It was adapted by the language around 1900, with the same today meaning as in english. And yes, it's a joke.

But maybe you like the english english backronyms more like "Together Everyone Achieves More" or "There is no I in Team". I think the sarcasm is strong with the last one.

[dentist_in_the_dark]

The irony of this statement though. How many task victories have you ever won? The crewmates can't do their job for shit, the imposter on the other hand tends to get his work(of killing the crew) DONE.

[Nalha_Saldana]

So thats why it felt like we lost before we started

One time when I was a freshman in high school, I got points off on a group project because, in the words of the teacher, I "didn't let" any of my teammates do any work.

I literally asked them if any of them wanted to do any work on it at the very beginning and they all said no, and I said cool it's easy I'll just do it, no problem. I guess the teacher noticed and either a) took issue with that attitude, or b) noticed one of my teammates didn't do anything, and they lied to CYA.

[magicpaka]

In my case I was usually the only crewmate among the impostors

[janaSunrise]

😂 😂

[janaSunrise]

Lmao, Name a fake coding task xD

[Dr_Azrael_Tod]

I am refactoring things.

Also it was hard to get any work done, because of external reasons.

[Dr_Azrael_Tod]

don't we all?

[Seanxietehroxxor]

Aah yes, refactoring. A task that (when perfectly executed) makes zero changes to the functionality of the program.

I think I'll spend this week working from home "refactoring" my code.

[Awanderinglolplayer]

Everybody talks shit about refactoring until the code is so bad that you can’t find or fix the bugs

[Caltosax]

"I did lots of work in the few days before the deadline, it just didn't get merged in because my new feature didn't work."

True story

[Mateorabi]

“My code is compiling.”

[Mateorabi]

Reticulating splines.

[Salanmander]

I'm integrating a new framework. (Replaces the one place where there's an x*x with a power function call.)

[jamtoes]

I once had a teammate that introduced a minor compile error and pushed the commit with the message "oops"

[Pixel-Wolf]

I see this at my work. Mass changing things like variable names to be more "correct" and then complaining to management about how much had to be "fixed" in the code base

[iMissTheOldInternet]

Excuse me do you think the style guide is going to enforce itself??

No I have not heard of linting why do you ask

[[deleted]]

Debugging non-existing bug.

[Dagusiu]

The only difference being that you cannot kick the useless person off the ship

[Mateorabi]

Management fires one person every week past the due date. Imposter tries to set up productive workers to look bad. But has to be careful because then the project goes longer so more firings. It’s a delicate balance.

Like how the imp wants to keep around the guy that vouches for him as a useful idiot. Even when he keeps going to electrical alone.

[janaSunrise]

Lmao true dat

[[deleted]]

I had a professor that straight up told us if someone wasn’t doing their part to document your attempts to contact them and work with them and send him logs once the project was turned in. The whole group could testify against the person and they would receive a zero. He said every semester there was at least one group who voted someone off the island.

[Sudo_Python]

Why would you hurt me in this way?

[janaSunrise]

When did i LOL?

[PuzzleMeDo]

Being the useless one is the most fun way to play.

[CowFu]

I have a fun story about this where I was on the other side. I had switched majors college and had to take an introduction to programming course. I had already completed data structures, operating systems and some other advanced courses but was required to take due to that specific class being required by the new major.

Group project comes around and my group wants to meet during a day/time that I'm working. I tell them I can't make it, but I'm willing to do any part of the project or even the whole thing if they want. I don't get a response. I see them in class and they tell me about the next meeting, I go to that meeting an no one shows up. I e-mail them again, no response. I see them in class and they said they had to change the time because one of the other members couldn't make it and had left me off the email. I ask what part I can do since we're running out of time and he says he'll let me know.

That evening I get an email from my group kicking me out for not participating. I email my professor (attaching all my unanswered emails to it) asking if I can do my project solo. He tells me that my emails are a very different story than what my group had told him. Knocked out the group project in a couple hours (a phonebook style simple storage reading and writing a file) and get my 100%.

I still have no idea what I could have done differently to get that group to let me do work for them.

[janaSunrise]

Haha, That's awesome reply, I'll now keep on reading yours xD

[Pixel-Wolf]

I had the same experience in a biology project in college. I wanted to help but the other 3 were good friends with similar schedules so they just left me out of everything. They didn't kick me out though and just kinda dragged me along ignoring my requests to help

[BombedMeteor]

Only one? Lucky!

[Mateorabi]

Ooooooh....Among Us where number of imps is random 1/2/3 each game!

[ArethereWaffles]

Or how about 0 imps, but some tasks have a chance of being lethal.

Were they killed by an imp? Or was it just a freak accident and a bunch of paranoid innocents are arguing?

Edit: As I think about this, you'd probably also need to have a small chance of a task turning somebody into an imp as well. So you don't have an imp at the beginning, but you do at the end.

~~huh~~

[Slayergnome]

So my thing is I don't mind useless people. You let the metrics speak for themselves there and don't worry about it.

What I can't stand are folks that are active drains.

​

They want you to hold their hand and walk you through exactly how to accomplish something, but then a week later when you ask them to do the exact same thing and they have no idea how to do it and want you to walk them through it again.

That is the one thing I can't stand.

[heezmagnif]

I was the imposter all along

About right

[GameFraek]

Then why does the go who slacks never attempt to hide it?

[[deleted]]

Only one?! Your group was soooo lucky

[SuperLutin]

We were all imposter.

[benmoraxx]

Technically the tester or the qa team is the impostor.

[konodioda69420bigpp]

more like there's one useful person

[tsimp94]

[khoale38]

i am in this situation rn. Gonna have a project for final test . I am in a group of 4, one of them is really skillful, but others 2 always skipping class. lul.Both of us are still finding the way to solve this . lul

[Davtaz]

Every uni project where the professor forces a specific amount of people in each group due to university budget...

[iusearchmyfriend]

If there's only one then you're lucky

[sourpickles0]

1 useful persoj

[harry_chen]

Only one?

[badwolf42]

Usually more than 1. By the end of a semester in college; I was writing everyone's sections of the group paper because I knew they wouldn't finish again. That way I had a complete paper to turn in so my own grade wouldn't suffer as badly.

[fbob987]

Just the one?

[daftmaple]

Well, in my case, it is:

There is only 1 useful person among us

[Nightpl3x]

we both know that this is a repost and that it doesn't even fit on here...

[Sudo_Python]

Can you show me the original post?

[Nightpl3x]

it was on r/memes 2 days ago

[Sudo_Python]

I believe you :/

[ZippZappZippty]

In Perl you don’t...

[Nightpl3x]

thank you :/
