Conscientious people do get taken advantage of.

I was an MBA student at a Top 20 business school.  Had a group paper due in a couple of hours.  Classmate shows up as we are assembling the paper to announce she didn't have time to write her two pages and needed to leave for an international flight so it wasn't going to get done.  As I furiously scrambled to write her portion and stitch the other pieces together, another teammate told me to "relax my expectations".
I was totally shocked.   Another time on a group project a married new mom told me the night before that she couldn't do her part because her baby had a common cold.  Grad students! With weeks of advance notice to get the work done!

Some people luck out and find great workplaces. Some are surrounded by clever advantage-takers.  That's how it goes.  I suppose it's realistic to deal with it now.  Learning to read people and assess trustworthiness and how to motivate others is useful.
