For the last few years, I've been trying to get them to assign me at least someone part-time to learn my tribal knowledge. I've been writing documents and leaving copious notes in Slack canvasses to stakeholders. If something happens to me, they'll be struggle-bussing it.

When I go on vacation, I'm still stuck for end-game support for p0 stuff. If production is down, I'll stop what I'm doing, If they can't make money, they can't pay my salary. I'll answer P1 questions off hours to an extent.

I don't absolutely hate it. I'm paid well for the inconvenience but they're playing with fire. I only go places that have some form of internet somewhere (doesn't need to be everywhere) and I'm always within 15 minutes of grabbing my laptop.

That's that me. But the company I work for is big enough that if they're fucked, it looks worse on my bosses for only having one of me and no plan. So fuck that, off I go. I told them how badly things could go if someone grabbed my laptop, so that stays very safely behind too.
