How do you deal with teammates who don't take initiative or move things forward on a project without being told to do so?

We have a deliverable due on Friday with alot of things to get done before then and seems like no one cares? I ask for status updates and all I get is no, haven't done that, will do it now. Sure enough, ask next day and the response is no, haven't done it yet.

These folks are seniors as well. Partner looks to me to provide a status update, and all I can say is in process.

Hi all, so one of my friend got placed through campus (Btech) in Cognizant (last year october) and now they are being told that those guys will be onboarded according to business requirements and tentative months given to them are Jan-Feb. How is this fair, what do they get in ruining students career. Atleast they can onboard and start their training so that in jan feb they can directly get aligned to project. And this is for all mass recruiters .He is so depressed. Can't see him like this 😔

It almost seems like he’s slowly losing his grip of reality. This is all he does in his free time, he has no interest or motivation to pursue any hobbies or other activities.
