You'd be surprised. Just knowing how the org works and knowing the internal lingo makes you really annoying to replace. Onboarding people takes a lot of time and effort. Finding ones you're even willing to onboard is even harder.

And if it doesn't it's your fault and not theirs. Being a scapegoat can be very profitable. How does the saying go again? Nobody ever got fired fot buying IBM? Something like that. Being the scapegoat is a valuable service if you do it well.
