Unfortunately, the kind of employee that is going to be a pain to their coworkers usually could not care less about the negative effect that their (lack of) contribution may have on those who work with them. They feel entitled to the time and attention of their colleagues, and so long as they are getting paid, they are not concerned about their own performance. Coworkers not only face the stress of doing or correcting their work, but also holding back their frustration at doing so.
As a manager, being proactive with this kind of employee is vital. If they do not improve their behavior, there will come a point where it ends up doing real damage to the team.

In this story, an employee was left feeling helpless when a new hire refused to do much of her own work, insisting that her coworker do it for her instead. While at first, she had been happy to help her adjust, she felt like, at this point, her new colleague was being lazy and expecting not to do any work.
When she addressed this with the team lead, his response was to suggest that they not assign her work. The employee felt like this was the cherry on top of a helpless situation, and wanted some advice on how to deal with it.
