What the title says, I have to clean up their mess when they fail
Don't clean it up out it on them that's how they'll learn to do better
If you continue cleaning up their mess then soon they'll take you for granted.
Are you actually in a position of seniority over them? If so, try and mentor them - it’ll help them out and it’ll help you out by showing you can take on more responsibility. If they’re not receptive to the help, cut them off and let them fail. It’ll work it’s self out sooner or later.
I'm more experienced, both of us report to the same person, I've offered help when asked I'm not sure how to implement the mentorship. My issue is I help the guy and get zero credit for it like 45 minutes of help zero credit, which I'm fine if it happens once or twice but I feel like it's more intenteded than not

We’re you in his interviews?
Unfortunately it was for a junior position, was 'rusty' on basic DS questions like what's a hash table ? Now his starting to have attitude 'I'm doing shit'. Not my decision to.get hired however
I help my juniors, only because some folks who were in my current position helped me without expectations. But being realistic is not bad either.. I look for willingness to learn, and not having to repeat myself. I do expect some self learning regardless of junior engineer or not. For now, I’d say let him know what was expected of him and that your trying to help but you have deadlines too. Humor him for a couple of months more to see if he ramps up, if not let the managers know. The attitude could sometimes come of as false, give him a few more chances.. 😎
This is why people interview to hire more people like them, not talent.
Give them stuff they can handle
If he repeats mistakes then don’t. If he has potential then tell him what to do, don’t do it for him.
Help, but don’t do his job? What is so difficult about that?
