Out with the Old in with the New

While sitting at work it's becoming quite apparent that some people should just retire. I mean yes I understand this person has put in 20+ years of hard work, and they deserve to get their kudos for that. But they have fallen so far behind the technology curve, that I end up having to do their job. The Company created a special custom part in the input system for them AND THEY STILL CAN'T GET IT RIGHT!

I've sat down with this person on numerous occasions and have explained I them how to update images, pages, ect on the companies website. I've even given them a printout with step by step instructions. Basic edits nothing complex. But every time they edited something, they fuck that page up, and then come running to me to fix it. It would be one thing if this happened once a week or something like that, but it's almost every fucking day. And heaven forbid I make a mistake doing their work, you’d think I just started World War III.

I feel I should either get a pay bump for now doing two jobs, or that this old timer should retire and the company should fill the position with a younger person who knows what the hell they are doing.

Am I right or am I way off base?

The man or woman do deserve some respect for 20+ years at your company but I agree that if they can't do there job properly they some be let go.
