I consider someone being hard to replace as a problem that may or may not be their fault. If they’re actively hoarding knowledge and skills, it’s better to bite the bullet.
Personally, I try to make myself unnecessary in my roles by empowering my people. If they can’t operate without me being arbitrarily absent for a month, I’ve fucked up.
Surely you’re hard to replace since you do a great job in your role.
I’m in a similar boat, my team can do just fine without me and I make sure they can do well without any of them, but I would be hard pressed to replace most of them because they’re really good at what they do. Nobody works extra hours, and people go home early if they’re not feeling productive, and the work gets done on time almost every time.
I think I’m hard to replace for similar reasons. We’ve gone through 2 others in a similar position as my own and went over a year looking for one before we found the third. I’m not worried about my position going away since my boss seems to like our work ethic.
