Taking over for your coworker in a time of crisis is the nightmare to end all nightmares. First of all, even if they are competent at their jobs, you're suddenly thrust into a completely unrealistic situation in which you are supposed to perform your current duties and your coworker's duties within the same work hours. And let's be honest: you're probably not getting paid any extra for this unless you start making demands.
Now, what happens if the coworker was incompetent and left you to pick up the pieces of a complete mess? Well, after you hide in the bathroom and have your 15-minute nervous breakdown, you return to your desk and get started. You ensure that as you're uncovering what went wrong, you make it clear that you are not at fault for what you're reporting. You're merely trying to decipher what your coworker did. That's what happened to this Redditor, who was already resentful of this coworker because they had managed to achieve an unfair, "untouchable" status despite being absolutely awful at her actual job.
