Fill in for someone/stand in for someone

Can you detect any differences between: "Jack stood in/filled in for me while I was away"? Also, can we use "fill in" or "stand in" if someone is really bad at doing something and we have to do their work too? (to carry them) Here's an example:

- The new guys were so bad that the rest of us had to fill in for them. - I might be wrong, but doesn't "fill in for someone" suggest that the person who's job we are doing is away?


Thank you.
