No we have a more recent hire from the private sector such as myself that do all the work. The “lifers” here are stuck on their old programming skills (fox pro) and refuse to learn anything new after 30 years on the job. Basically they are being paid to do little or nothing.
I do WSUS, desktop support, help the sr. network analyst—recent private sector guy who knows his stuff. Two desktop support people were voluntold to leave—aka forced retirement in the last two years after refusing to change their attitude. I have picked up the slack there pretty much exclusively.
We have two “lifers” left in IT; one who pushes the envelope stirs the pot just so far to escape trouble (ex. calls the boss to ask him what the number to Dell support is)—same guy who REFUSES to learn a new programming language and just makes it miserable for others by refusing to pitch in.
Sounds like most government IT shops. Have a buddy who’s CIO for a school system and he’s dealing with the same issues. These state union dumbasses are so inflexible.
