My cousin has been at the same job for almost 10 years. He's using technology that has been phased out and abandoned by most companies for almost as long (a software developer).

He's also 55 and hasn't spent any time outside of work learning anything new. His problem is that he gets comfortable with a job and doesn't ever want to change, because it's difficult (doesn't want to go on interviews, likes the routine, etc).

Now, he's basically trapped at this job and hopes every day that he doesn't get laid off.

As they say - Hope is not a strategy. I have to remind this periodically to avoid gathering moss.
