Tell me about it. I work for a local gov’t in IT. We have a “Senior Programmer” who only knows Fox Pro and refuses to learn any new languages. He stonewalls on everything and is a general PITA, but earns just shy of six figures with a massive pension in store because he is a “lifer” (worked for the county well over 30 years).
He’s an obstructionist and never does a lick of work other than the bear minimum of what would be a helpdesk/desktop support worker’s job description. He actually called the manager to ask what the Dell support phone number was!!!
He will search engine nothing and constantly push back on everything. He’s almost 65 and we all pray for the day he signs up for medicare and walks out!

Wow, just wow!
For those unfamiliar, FoxPro got bought out by Microsoft about 25 years ago. My cousin worked for them, and ended up working for Microsoft as a result, and did very well with that. But FoxPro was obsolescent 20 years ago, completely so say 15 years ago.
Incredible, regarding this employee.
