so my work
I've worked at a couple places in healthcare. Neither one would post a job when someone gives notice. They wait until the person has left and then take ~6 months to fill the position. The end result is their is no hand off.
My current employer will have a hard time when I leave. I'm the only one that can program and do that about 3/4 of my time. The other 1/4 is what my role is actually for so that will end up being what they have to hire based on for the most part which will mean the 30 or so programs I've made, databases, revision control systems etc. will likely become orphans. I've given hints that someone else should shadow me so I can help teach them a little bit so it won't be such chaos when I'm gone but management has no interest in having me do anything than the next project. Good luck to them
I had another job where I was operating a CNC plasma table (big room sized table to cut steal) their was two of us and we had more work than could get done in a day so we worked at a minimum 12X5 but usually 12X6 or 7. The boss had no clue why people wouldn't want to work that way and didn't really want to hire additional employees would just hire a temp every once in a while to drive the tow motor to keep the parts off the line. When your business operates on the assumption that the two guys that can do the job will stay 12hrs every day (and I had the fun 5pm-5am shift) you're in for a world of hurt.
