Are some employees irreplaceable? I will not promote

A question I've been sitting with lately: Is there such a thing as an irreplaceable employee, and what do you do if someone like that leaves? For most of my career it was never my problem to solve. I spent most of my career working for some of the biggest companies in the country. When a key person would leave they’d just absorb it and move on. But now as a leader of a 30 person startup it’s an interesting thing to think about. I don't have an answer yet. submitted by /u/BobbyBizScout [link] [comments]
