Don't know about Breguet watches but IBM Mainframes are replaced all the time.

If you're that valuable, demand more money. I keep giving my most vital employee significant raises each year. I gave my hourly employees a raise too. Nobody had to ask. One did ask for more per hour, and I asked for a schedule change in return. Then they stopped asking.

Everybody really is replaceable. If my most valued employee left, it would be an all-hands-on-deck moment for everyone, and schedules would shift a lot. I'd have to work harder. I'd also look for a couple employees to replace him, but then I'd pay each of them half as much.

My friend said "yep, humfrz, that's true, because you screwed up those positions so badly, it took two people to straighten out the messes you left".

Or just take another job for more money and see what the counter offer is?
