Question

Change to the "superior" long format (here I use tidyr::gather), then map your columns to aesthetics, with a column geom with stacked position (bar is a special case which counts number of observations).

library(tidyverse)

df <- read.table(text = "
Workload P1   P2   P3   P4
W1       0.3  0.2  0.4  0.1
W2       0.5  0.1  0.3  0.1
W3       0.2  0.3  0.4  0.1
W4       0.3  0.2  0.5  0.1", header = TRUE)


df_long <- df %>% 
  gather(P, value, P1:P4)

ggplot(df_long, aes(x = Workload, y = value, fill = P)) + 
  geom_col(position = position_stack())
