Well, lets think about this a sec....  Would you HIRE someone who does not
meet minimum standards, and who refuses to try to learn?  Probably not....
Why bother trying to help them if they can't try to help themselves.
Next....

What to do then with the folk that have dutifully showed up for work every
day, but have refused to learn that "new stuff".  Is there value in holding
back an entire shop because new ideas or techniques make a few people
uncomfortable?  Probably not...  

I believe, totally and without reservation, that it is MY responsibility as
a career programmer to remain as skilled and capable as I can possibly be.
If my employer doesn't want to help me, it doesn't relieve me of the need to
learn it anyway.  I can at least count on continuing my career.
