"In the working world, there are real stakes, and supervisors notice when a particular team member isn't pulling her/his weight."

Unless the manager/supervisor is the one who doesn't care about the job and doesn't get involved in it until the end (and then just blame everyone and demands a last second immediate fix and then, after everything is done, forgets again to check what were the issues and who caused them).
Or unless the lazy member is the manager/boss friend/lover/relative and they get away with anything.
Or unless the member pulling the group back is an expert liar who manages to blame everything in someone who is doing their job.

Honestly, the working word is not perfect and it doesn't always work like it's supposed to do.

You're right. You can land bad supervisors and bad managers. And upthread, fingalsanteater made a good point about how high school never ends.

But the thing is, struggling through a shitty group project with a shitty professor won't make it any easier for someone to struggle through a shitty group project with a shitty manager. It'll just make it easier for them to accept defeat.

The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced that, whether in school or out of school, if performance isn't tied in some way to the individual, then the management style is flawed.
