Well duh. When management has no strategy, plan, or interest to give their employees paid time to keep abreast of new technologies, whether in direct training (classes, bootcamps cough, whatever) and no projects (whether immediately useful or not) for them to practice their skills, signing up for a salaried full time position in a company is like being a new car. The minute you drive it off the lot, it depreciates in value. Even if some new Javascript MVC framework is a flash in the pan, exposure to new things at a minimum promotes interest and discussion.

You are 100% correct, sir. I have done 1 small MVC app in the last 4 years, before that Windows and Webforms since 2003 and Classic ASP before that. Now I am doing SSRS, SSIS, and system administration, because that is what is important to management, right now. It has been like that for the last few years and I have become disinterested in new technologies, because I don't know when or if I will ever use them. I am not the only person in my organization that feels this way and them problem only seems to be getting worse.
