> It’s about the company’s most valuable asset – its employees. There are often two ways to look at that statement. Employees aren't fungible and how that cuts both ways. The longer someone works in an established company the more tribal knowledge they accumulate to the extent that an equally talented fresh face cannot replace. And the other is that some employees have already done their part & are now not easily moved into a different role (Peter principle or otherwise). That fine line is somewhat scary to look at, particularly when you work in a boom-bust environment like a video game company or when the company does a tough pivot.
