If I'm not around, then all those things either don't get done
That suggests at least one of:
1. a need to delegate more so that reports can be more autonomous
2. a need to groom replacements internally
If someone has a well-managed team, they should return from vacation with individual people having missed them but the company as a whole being unaffected.
I meant more generally, in the sense that if someone is never in the role. Like if someone says, "we don't need engineering managers". Of course you are correct in the short term where I'm stepping away from my role temporarily.
