Let me ask you this: What do you think your employer's company is worth without people like you? Does the company sell any products that could live without developers to improve or support said products?
No? Well that's because the value of most software or consultancy firms lies in the heads of their employees. To improve the company's value means to invest into its employees. You can invest in employees in two ways. Either give them the time to improve their skills or lay them off and get some fresh blood in the company. The latter is not sustainable because a company that doesn't invest in employees will eventually run out of people who want to work there. Long story short: If you don't have the time to improve yourself and only work with old stuff, you should get a new job. That or you kindly ask your manager if it's not in his interest that you become better and thus increase the companies value.
