> Indispensable employees are a sign of organizational failure. They indicate a weak point in the organization

Contention for fun: "Hands are indispensable, thus, they indicate a weak point in the organization."

I think that's a bit of a nonsequitur, to be honest. People who brought up executives as a counterexample made a much better case, as well as those who pointed out that small organizations often do have individual contributors whose absence would wreck the business.
