I am currently not working, no I do not think I be miss and the impacted would make a difference if I jumped ship to another company
yes
yeah
the horses would all die!!!
i’m told rather frequently that even though i’m just a part-time cashier, i’m also one of the most efficient and hardest working. in fact, they’re working through the paperwork to offer me a raise to keep me from quitting, since i’m threatening to, these days.
More like when I leave, my workplace will recieve a significant impact. Like with a bulldozer.
Well, YEAH! If I don’t work my company folds! I own it and do 75% of the work.
oh YEAH- Im a domestic engineer. They NEED me here! LOL
My work is my family and my husband…sooo yes, I would be missed.
Yes! I’m a stay at home mom and my three liitle kids would DESTROY the house, let alone possibly die of lack of food and drink. So yeah, I think I”m pretty vital to my job.
I cut people down all the time (customers and coworkers). I’ve been doing it for two years.
Unfortunately, when I leave, things will be haywire.
Since I stay at home, homeschool the kids AND after 12 years of marriage, my husband still hasn’t figured out how to start the dishwasher or the washing machine, I wouldn’t just be missed, I would be found quickly!!
I’ve made it a point over the years to “work myself out of a job” wherever I go.
However, I was told last month, and with much concern….there’s NO back up for me….I’m it.
Personally, I think they’d survive just fine if I were to leave.
But, they tell me that it would be really tough on them.
So, to answer your question………..it depends on who you ask.
Nah. I’ve been in the company for only 4 months. Ha.
it was, and it was fucking hilarious. they had no warning, either, so they had to bring someone in from the corporate office in philly to teach some poor schmuck how to run the network. the whole place shut down for a week. bastards.
Not significantly.
RYC: Too late. I’ve already proven myself.
And no, they wouldn’t be impacted too badly if i left.
Probably not, although seeing as its one of the few businesses still open right now given this crappy Oklahoma weather we are having; I am actually enjoying being in a location that has heat and electricity…
Oh yeah. I’m having a hard enough time getting a few days off at the end of this month cause they need me so bad!
Yes, I stay at home with my kids. As far as my writing jobs go, most likely not because someone always will have another idea.
The only people I believe to be truly irreplacable in terms of work are moms. (Which I am not, by the way.)
To answer the question of the post: yes, it would fall apart. It is good to be needed.
RYC: It was wonderful to meet Mary. And if an Amish guy is just what I need, I’m all for it. Do you think he would mind if I don’t help with farm chores? I’m such a city girl…
Probably not. My bosses would scramble to find a replacement, but my colleagues would just throw a big party … after I’m gone.
yah, i’d say the whole household would go to pot and my family would be miserable not having me around to take care of them- it’s nice to be wanted… now if only i could get paid…
Ain’t got no workplace currently, so no.
Yes, I think they could go on, but they would have a ton more work to do!
Yes, because out of the six of us, there are only two of us that actually think of the good of the whole department when doing our jobs. They could replace us, but they’d have a hard time finding anyone who isn’t just like the rest of them.
rcy: Haha, I’m sure they are celebrating, because to the best of my knowledge, my dad doesn’t really care for Ron Paul. He’s more of Mike Huckabee person. But in my dream, he was very excited to see Dr. Paul and was shaking his hand and telling him how much he hoped he would win the election. It was strange.
Yeah
RYC: The thing is I feel sorry for her cause she has no friends. But when i need someone to talk to shes very cold and just says mean things. She takes me for granted and i’m done
They wouldn’t know what to do without me!
The timing of this question is amazing, as I walked away from job just yesterday. The initial impact will be significant. I did catch up some paperwork and an audit before I left, but there will undoubtedly be a few weeks of chaos as whoever replaces me attempts to figure out my various systems. Nobody is irreplaceable, though. I have no doubt that once they get past all the end of the year stuff, things will begin running smoothly again and I will be forgotten.
Yes because it is the end of the year and holidays. I’m the young single who covers for my co-workers.
HAHA. I think they would be scrambling to find someone to replace me. But other than that, I would not feel any remorse or bad misty feelings. I’ll just work there for a day or two more and LEAVE. And I will give a big AMEN to that.
I would like to think so, but the reality is it would be an annoyance.
Probably not too significantly. It would be an inconvienece though.
Well- they would have a problem for a couple of weeks, at least. The woman who does my job when I’m out isn’t very good at it. She has a hard time figuring out what to do if something different comes up. (She just can’t reason through it to come to a decision)
In the long run – no…
probably more than they realise and not as much as i think. there are people there who dont want me to leave because according to them i “make the place bearable” and others who dont think i really contribute(forget the fact that just one of my little ideas trippled the money made by myself, and two of the top collectors on my team) and kind of jerk me around. my view is, i need to make more than 8.74 an hour so i can do the nonessentials like eat, have a place to sleep and wear clothing. so i need to either get into management(unfortunately its the latter group that makes those decisions) or get a new job. sadly for me im better at coming up with the techniques than using them to collect, and learning the systems and whatnot than i am at bullying people into paying their bills. oh well, whatever, i just need a new job or to get my business started.
Thats the beautiful thing about being a mom, if I left, no one would eat. they would all wear dirty underpants and never bathe. no one would brush their teeth or clean the dishes.
I would say I would be missed, eventually. There would of course be a few days there when the men in my home thought they were in heaven.
yeah, my boss would freak out since my officemate is leaving next week. Who else would coordinate 7 site audits a year?
I’m going to go with yes…I think Kevin and the boys would notice I was gone.
No. I work with a lot of people for a large company. They do not care who is working there as long as they are getting their government funding…
I’m not currently working. When I WAS working, it wouldn’t have been a significantly big deal if I quit: it was scooping ice cream at a menial job.
yeah i think they would. i am the only person who knows how to do what i do. the person that taught me has retired. and it would be hard for them to get someone else in here.
they’d probably throw a party
yep
yes
Yes, they’d have to distribute all the stuff I’m slated to do over the remaining employees in my group, or hire someone new. Either way, they’d be stressed!
For most, stick your finger in a bowl of water, then pull out your finger, and see what kind of hole is left…………that is how you are viewed.
Now as far as I am concerned, the bowl is full of slush, so there is actually a hole, but it too would fill soon…..
Face it we are all REPLACEABLE, some just easier then others
No. I’m not upper-level and our office benchmarks staff so well that, even if I were in an upper-level position, there would be someone ready and willing to step in and take my place. Plus, there are so many new college grads who, I’m sure, would love to get a position with the government…I could be replaced in a heartbeat!
Personally, it would affect people more than anything else. My friends would miss me.
The workplace would be ok, however, I’m told that the world would probably end.
nope, we have about 15 other cashiers
Good question. Um, I would have to say yes. The kids like me, at least, so my impaact on them would be missed, I think.
no i go to college.
Monitoring: no, there’s people in line for my spot
Internship: Yes, I’m the only one
Vet: yes, I was the only one who ever cleaned thoroughly
This time of year? I might inconvenience them a bit, but they could muddle through. Leaving them during the busy time of year could really screw things up. There are people there that can perform my tasks, but we’re short on warm bodies.
I could be replaced with someone else quite quickly (as has happened with someone else recently), but I am the main cook and cleaning person, so maybe not everything would be the same.
Not at all
Eh, not really.
But I tell my managers all the time that if they can afford to lose me then they can fire me. I haven’t been fired yet!
yes
Definitely NOT, since I don’t have a workplace. Ah, such significance..
yep – families would be scramblin’ to find daycare for their kids!!
*HUGS*
thanks for the compliments…
Oh yeah… I’ve thought about that more and more this past semester
No, because they already know my last day is friday.
Yes. Small office and I don’t think the other girl in my dept would be happy taking over my 700 customers!
Yup, it would fail and die….I am a stay-at-home mom
Yea…I guess…
Yes – who would feed and bathe the children?
since at this time i do not work i’m going to have to go with no!
They’ve waited so long to hire new teen workers, that without me, they wouldn’t have anyone to take back teen patients.
Considering i work from home and my children are my work… I would say YES!
You’re phonin’ it in today, aren’t you.
only if they got really busy.. and my OTHER workplace (my house)..that’s a different story.. the place would probably fall apart and burn into nothing.. probably..
Only slightly until they found a new instructor.
LOL As the head programmer, they’d be devastated.
Yes, all hell would break loose.
I am a stay-at-home mom, and I definitely think they would be lost without me especially since I am quite cheap labor. LOL
Hell no. I work in a call center. And not in a department that matters. I honestly hope my job (well what I was doing anyways) is still there when I go back.
No. I have taken maternity leave a couple of times since working here. There was no noticable “blip”.
Surprisingly, yes my workplace would kind of be screwed without a bus boy.
Who would sow the seeds?
I hope, i just quit my job today. My resignation letter is posted on my site…feel free to tell me how it sounds. i am really hoping it works
Kinda. I could be replaced pretty easily, but we’re short-staffed atm already.
I doubt it. I don’t actually work right now, but I’m in school..and I don’t think there would be a giant impact if I wasn’t there.
Yes. Cause I’m hood like that.
I’m a part time customer service rep- they wouldn’t miss me
I’m pretty much at the lowest rung of the ladder in our lab as the lab assistant. However I think that our technician would get really annoyed trying to keep up with the chemical and sample inventory along with washing his own labware and making all the solutions. He’s a pretty busy guy as it is. Actually when I first stared writing this comment I was pretty much of the thought that, “no I wouldn’t be missed” but now that I actually think about it, my leaving will be a bit of a pain for them. (I graduate on Friday so I’m done next week as the position has to be filled by a student.) However I would be replaced quickly. There are several dozen science undergrads that would LOVE to have my job.
yes, considering i am now doing the job of three people since one does not do any work and the other quit in july…yes very screwed….it would probably take about 6-8 months to find a replacement and another 4 months to get them up to speed.
I think so. I’m not usually that busy, but I do a lot of little things that the other people in my office wouldn’t be able to pick up.
Yes, well it did anyway. I’m not working now, but after I left my internship this summer, one of the other Rangers became very difficult to work with. I’ve heard it from two other Rangers that they think it was because I was no longer there for her to “bounce off of.” We were the two craziest ones at the park, you see.
Not in a big way but in some way. Enough to let me return during the summer when I’m not overwhlemed with school.
Yeah, things would go haywire for about a semester. It would take a team a solid week to decipher the hodge-podge mess of servers and computers, but they certainly could, and build a new one, better.
I am not irreplaceable. No one is. Don’t have the admin password? It only takes a day to build a new academic server. It only takes another day to input all the data.
One week, to clean up my mess, by a team of people who know what they are doing, and they go home early Friday.
Uh, YEAH! Who’d take care of all these children?!?
Yes! I have all kinds of information in my noggin that I do not have written down. It would take along time for someone to figure it all out. It’s good to feel needed. Besides I am a “yes” gal and who else would do things if I didn’t.
you betcha.
My workplace is my home, so yes, the place would fall apart, It seems no one else knows how to load the dishwasher, cook a decent meal, change the sheets, replace the toilet paper, etc. etc.
Yes
too funny to read the comments….. young and inexperienced…
EVERYONE is replaceable… in a heart beat
sadly… the big wheel keeps on turning
very much…i work full time night audit for a hotel during the week…by myself. if i up and left, i would definitely NOT have any friends left at my workplaces. nobody wants to get a phone call saying ‘hey…the night auditor quit…can you come in and work eight hours overnight, even though you have school in the morning?’
yes, both in my job as a mommy/homemaker and as a nurse
LOL. I’m a stay at home mom!
Probably
Yeah, they might all actually have to work since now we all probably work about 50% of the time. I keep waiting for my pink slip.
yup! definitely.
Seeing as I’m a student, that’s pretty hard to answer.
But if you count the college as a workplace, I think that would be a yes. I’m one of the few percussionists in the school of music, and the orchestra would be in a lot of trouble without me.
Yeah, it would pretty much be difficult for a while, at least – the other teachers wouldn’t have me there to “babysit” with music class while they have their planning time, and they would be hopping mad, and I think the kids would genuinely miss me – we have a great relationship, and I love them dearly. But I’m sure they wouldn’t have too much trouble finding another music teacher, before too long.
At home, as mom? Yes, things would fall apart, but my son Ben would take over as best he could. It would be too much to expect from any highschooler, though, and he deserves to go to college next year.
Ha! How appropriate is your timing for this question, Dan. I just gave notice where I work that I’m resigning on the 21st. To say that my poor boss was shocked was an understatement – she really took it hard. Then she immediately moved into crisis mode of “we need to get a data dump of everything in your brain so we are prepared for when you leave and prepared for any contingency.”
I think they’ll be fine. Eventually.
nope
Yeah, they’d pretty much be scarred for life.
I would like to hope that at all of my jobs over the years, I would be missed. I hope that everyone has a good work ethic. But the sad fact is…everybody is replaceable. And by the way, I’m the manager of a Subway! (I really hope I’d be missed)
