    This here is the best comment to address the OP question. Just to be clear, I 100% agree: every job, every field is just held together by duct tape and bubble gum.

      There is an open joke at the corporation I work at that there are about 5 people who if they quit at once the company would be under within a few months. I really do not think it is wrong.

        I didn’t mean my comment or the OPs to be an aspersion on how well anyone does their job. It’s more a comment on perception vs reality. For example, look at how many people came to observe and realize how many US government operations are held together through gentlemen’s agreements (aka duct tape and chewing gum) that Trump was able to dismantle simply by not agreeing.
