We have an older guy (55+) in our team who takes 5x longer than anyone else to complete a task. I know the office is aware, but nobody is willing to tell the boss. How can we hint that we need some turnover?

You'll be the older one eventually. I hope they phase your arse out with the quickness.

As long as it's just an inconvenience and the old guy isnt completely screwing you over, leave him alone.

As if your boss doesn't already know exactly how the subordinates stack up. Make no mistake, YOU are as subordinate as they come. The fact that he hasn't shitcanned your arse already astounds me.

Well he is becoming a bottle neck. Guy has his portion but never done on time which shifts out project schedule.

Challenge him to a footrace with the finish line in the boss's office.

You should start by challenging your boss about how out of touch he is with the work that his team is doing. Soon you will be enjoying the new metrics a reporting that will be sure to follow.

He’s talking about getting this dudes fired. How the hell is that not ruining his life considering how close he probably is to retirement?

The old guy's work is probably way more detailed and better than the rest. Can't rush perfection.

You should keep your mouth shut, otherwise you will confirm to you boss that you are a know-it-all dumbass.
