Martyr

martyr: a person who seeks sympathy or attention by feigning or exaggerating pain, deprivation, etc.

We all know people who play the martyr, people who take on overwhelming tasks just for the sake of bitching about it. Even when these people are offered help, or solutions, they still choose to do it the hardest way possible, so as to have something to hold over people's heads later. When you are lucky enough to have a team of people all working towards a common goal, utilize each and every person's strengths to meet these goals. It seems that failing to do so is just suspending common sense! Accept the help, trust that your teammates are capable of doing the task, and learn to let go of some of the responsibility!!!
