dudes who have been at a company for a billion years who lord over their bespoke solutions (cobbled together from shell and perl and delphi) own. the management will always defer to them because no one else wants to touch their trash

a previous company of mine had a pretty sizable cohort of aging dudes that had built their careers on that coast to a fat pensioned boomer retirement, working on stuff that requires marginal maintenance that only you can perform, keeping a decent salary because nobody wants you to leave i mean the worst thing that could happen to them is being fired too early since they don't really have any transferable skills anymore like there were a couple guys who were full time "domino developers" that basically did some trivial stuff during the day and I swear showed up for only half a day at most
