"Early in my career, I was taught that any team member was replaceable and that as long as you had sufficient time to find a suitable replacement, you would be fine." what ??? no wonder there is a hiring crisis
What? I mean, it's a bit brutal in the phrasing, but the honest truth is that all businesses should strive to design their orgs so that people are replaceable.
That's good for the employee too. In the strictest sense, if you can't be replaced in an org, that means you can't grow, change or shift to new positions.
I've lived this. Typically, when I submit my resignation, immediately the responsibilities and tasks of my current position get handed off to others or dropped, because, well the business is replacing me.
