I used to work at this company where like 3 guys took care of basically everything. All but one of them, let's call him Rob, eventually left to better companies.

As if the poor guy hadn't spent the last month doing the job of 3 people who were already doing the job of a 5 people each. Rob got online, said "Why did you page me?" and immediately left before getting a response. I liked Rob.
