This is in health&#x2F;medical and the employee in question is nearing retirement. I&#x27;d like to think that he should be encouraging them to consider a succession plan ahead of time to minimise risk for the thousands of people likely to be effected by this.<p>There&#x27;s a good chance, from my understanding of the situation, that his managers don&#x27;t understand the situation as well as he does. I think he should think bigger than himself.<p>Management&#x27;s decisions are unlikely to be budget related.
