Addressing this issue next week

Am effectively managing other peoples workload at work as part of my role and not paid or titled to do so..long story short one of the girls is utterly useless, I've spent a year sorting out her mistakes and working in my free time to get her workload done.
She handed her notice in recently and I gave her easy work to do while I'm on leave this week, most of which only she can do as it's following up on reports she will have written, she has done absolutely nothing. So the workload will fall to me to sort.
I've been told by my go to speak to occupational health when I go back as I've been suffering with really bad anxiety in part due to her.
My manager is hot and cold and is off the mindset well she's leaving, you've taken on her work before etc and I'm fuming as well as it has affecting my leave and will leave me with a mountain of crap to wade through before having to take more leave as school hols childcare issues . How do I address this?! I've raised with manager before and told that I worry too much!

Have they got a replacement for her?

Nope, the theory is she doesn't do that much anyway and the existing team can cope with the workload/some of it is very slowly being moved to another department. Another bone of contention but I don't have much of an argument about that when she doesn't do any work

It's PR so she is responsible for what she has written and following it up, which I can't do but seem to end up doing anyway.

Hi @buttonfluffss sorry you're going through this. I would go off sick with stress, get a doctor's sick note and take 3 weeks off. I've worked 27 years, i've seen it all, that's the only way they will realise that things need to change.
Hope things get better for you xx

Take them up on the offer of occupational health and tell them exactly the truth- the workload is causing you work related stress!
