It happened to me multiple times. I wanted to leave but wondered how the important projects where I contributed a lot could possibly carry on.

I left anyway. As it turns out I was wrong and cemeteries all around the world are full of indispensable people.

Man the reason you should leave is simple: you have only one life.

You aren't even a good employee anymore if you go to work dreading to be trapped forever here.

There are things you can do to help the company make the transition, like coaching whoever will replace you.

But it's not your responsibility to come up with such a plan it's the responsibility of your company.

It's a quote from Georges Clemenceau
