Then I think you got very very lucky.

In my career space, if someones is not immediatly replaceable (even for advanced positions that require degrees) its considered a failure of managment to not have business continuity in place.

You never know when life happens, your lead tech or lab coordinator could have a date with truck-kun and be stuck in the hospital for months. If the important things are not written down then you need to look elsewhere because managment isnt doing their job.

I definitely got lucky by having a good boss (most of the time, but he was bipolar so every so often you got screamed at for no reason).

And yeah, I actually did a lot of work to help with the hit by a bus scenario because everything was so siloed when I started.
