It isn't much different in the real world when it comes to office politics. There will be someone who doesn't pull their weight who is protected by someone in power. There is always someone who doesn't pull their weight. There is always someone who has X obligation and the team demands Y time. There is a know-it-all/condescending type person. There are infinitely more combinations and situations.

Amen. Jan has a different name at my workplace, but she's there nonetheless.

I couldn't disagree more. I hate when my bosses can't leave me to actually DO my work. They hired me to be a self-sufficient employee. I will report my status when asked, and I will come to THEM when I need assistance. I don't need them asking me every couple days if I'm okay.
Luckily enough, my current boss understands that he doesn't need to check up on me every day.
