How do you deal with a coworker who just sucks?

A little context: said coworker doesn’t always complete assigned tasks and I, or other teammates, end up having to pick up their slack. All of their written comms and documentation need heavy review and editing, they don’t stick to timelines (even ones they set), they’re unreliable, and overall just really suck. On top of performance issues there has been some behavior issues that have resulted in me going to leadership. (continued below)
