To an extent. Like the workers that are now the only members of a project's team yeah they can't go on vacation until that project is done unless you want delays. But learn from your mistakes. Have more people in the project to begin with. Train more than one person in key areas. Your project will happen faster with similar resources and the people involved will be happy since they can take a vacation.
Just so you know, this is often referred to as the "Bus Factor", aka "how many employees would need to get hit by a bus for us to suffer a catastrophic loss of knowledge/manpower?" Way too many places have a bus factor of 1, meaning if that single employee isn't available for whatever reason, everything around them grinds to a halt. You usually want that number to be BIG as often as possible.
