> The owner refused to admit he made a bad decision and stayed with that 'IT' 'company' for over a year, and didn't get rid of them until I'd left and no one was available who could triage, and they saw just how little that 'company' did, and just how much I was made to cover for them

That last part leaps out at me as particularly interesting: highlighting behind-the-scenes firefighting work is always tricky. Management doesn't want to acknowledge that it's necessary, while engineering maybe shies away from managerial caricaturization of what ultimately amounts to implementational minutiae. How'd you end up conveying the behind-the-scenes work you did in these kinds of situations?

It sounds like they didn’t convey it all. As I read it, the boss only learned about the heroics after the employee had left and no one was around to put out the fires. And that sounds normal for the situation, because management did not want to hear about it.
