    It’s so funny how colleagues and employees act as though their job is so niche no one could do it. Bro, YOU did it and you’re just some andy (respectfully). Anyone can do it.

      I’ve seen some meme’s about imposter syndrome along the lines of “If it was really important, wouldn’t they get someone better to take care of it?” and they’ve actually helped me relax quite a bit about my work responsibilities.

      Also, I want others to be able to do my job. Being the only person where I work familiar with my shit is such a pain in the ass! I want to work on new stuff, not be cursed to answer the same damn questions every day because no one can be bothered to read the documentation I wrote.

        Absolutely my mind set - “Oh, so this is the bar? Okay…”

        Frankly it just makes me sad at this point.

      Yeah, I feel like any job should be doable by a wide range of people. I mean, the advantages are fairly obvious. I don’t know why would anyone want their jobs to be niche. If there is any work that is only doable by a handful of people, either change the way you do things or train more people to do it. At least that is what I believe.
