Why fix it?
That sort of knowledge is undervalued. The new hires make more not understanding that stuff.
Why not just take the knowledge with you when you retire, and make no attempt to pass it on?
Why is it always up to a lone determined engineer to pass the knowledge on, and not the VPs job to listen to the recommendations to do so, and provide support and training?
Because they think you love it so much, you won't be able to help yourself.
Break this chain. Give them the suggestion - you provide training, time to make content, introduce it to the new people. Explain if they don't get it, what will happen...
And when they say no, take the knowledge and burn it. It doesn't have to be your job to throw yourself on the fire to save their systems. The iron will endure or it won't.
Use the extra time to garden instead.
