I don’t know. It feels a bit like “When I quit my employer will realize how much they depended on me.” The realization tends to be on the other side.

The company’s get hit hard by unplanned vacancies. It won’t take them down, but it can cost them buckets of money in either expenses, lost revenue or both. The thing is, the people that left will never know that, there coworkers will never see it, only people in finance and budget will know how to quantify the impact.

Individuals leaving don’t have an immediate impact but entire groups of people?
People can see how that worked out for Boeing when many of their experienced engineers and quality inspectors left.
