No. I am just one of 16,000 pilots at my company. I understood that the day I was hired and worked as fast as I could to get into, "A position of FUCK YOU."

Easy but also difficult. The job isn't hard at all. Anyone where I work can do it, it's just a huge learning curve to get good. If that makes sense at all.

I get around 200% labor productivity on just about every unit I build.
They won’t find a guy to match that. Lots of welders around here, not to many good welder/fitter/fabricators. |

They could replace me.
But they’d be in a lurch for a couple of weeks, and the dude they got to replace me wouldn’t know half of what I do or have half my dedication to customer service, and would spend the next quarter making one tenth what I do in sales. And they know it. Don’t stop them from treating me like shit though. |

I’m saying easy. I’ve let my reports know everything I know, I include them on everything/every meeting. They are a great group to work with and I never “manage” them. They know what is needed and what to do. To be honest, I’m worthless.

Pretty easily replaced. My team would probably work OT for a while as it would take about a year to replace me unless someone transferred. My numbers are pretty high also. But there is nothing special about me.

Every company (or dept within a company) I've left so far has managed to replace me. Granted, it's sometimes taken years and multiple tries, but they've always found someone.
I have no illusions. I'm working for 100+ year old companies; they existed before me, and they'll exist after me. |

I say hard, but they'll just find a hack that tells people what they want to hear. Likely it won't catch up with them for a long time.

Took them almost a year to find me.
I've done a lot of custom work for them, which isn't documented (because they won't give me the hours to document properly - just like my last employer). Yeah, somewhere between difficult and impossible. |

My last employer found out the hard way what it was like to replace me and they still haven't found a competent replacement. It has been almost two years and I still hear the horror stories that are coming out daily from them. My current employer was without someone in my position for well over two years and truly appreciates the skill set I brought with me along with a good percentage of my customers from the previous employer

Journeyman Carpenter, currently a foreman at a framing/finishes company.
I'd like to think there's 800 journeyman in my union who could replace me tomorrow.... but the reality is the pool we pull from is absolute shit

Some people are more of a pain in the ass to replace than others.
I am at that point in my job career where I am neither irreplaceable nor someone they want to have to actively replace. It's a good spot to be in. |

They could replace me pretty quick as there are a few people in line that want job at my job if I was to qui but would lose 80% of what I bring to the table.
Everyone is replaceable.

I started this thread because tomorrow I'm at 90 days with this business. It is a little bit out of my wheelhouse in my areas of expertise, but I am in charge and I have told my boss that within 12-24 months, I'm likely back to running my own company again.
My subordinate was rehired after a couple months away because of some of his actions previously got him fired. He actually paid me a pretty good compliment when he said I was good to work for. |

I am at that point in my job career where I am neither irreplaceable nor someone they want to have to actively replace. It's a good spot to be in. I use to be there, but we’ve hired some really good people and they’ve proven to be learners and stayers. I’m retiring next year, I have nothing to lose if they would ask me to quit tomorrow. I just want to make sure these guys stay employed, they want to work there and they depend on their job, and I’ll gladly walk out. |

I had a older guy getting close to retirement get really pissy at me for saying that simple truth. Apple is fine without Tim Cook Microsoft is thriving without Bill Gates Amazon doesn't seem to need Jeff Bezos .... I'm sure company X will manage to replace me at some point as well |

I’m “the” guy everyone on the project asks questions of. I’ve been on it since the beginning.
If I left, it would leave a big hole. Not one that could not be recovered from. But it would suck for the project. |

They would probably pay as much or more for a replacement and they wouldn't be as good for six months or more. |

I dont plan on quitting, but with the way the economy is going, we have been told that anyone who leaves wouldn't be replaced...........which I don't believe for a second. But if things go the way some are speculating, some of us might not have to quit but be laid off.
