I mean, that's OK though. Not sure why this is considered such a bad thing. You're missing out on some new language features, sure, but Java 8 is still reliable and rock solid. There's lots of companies that have hesitation or even inability to upgrade, hopefully there's at least some initiative and/or direction to do so.
A company that is head-in-sand deliberately not upgrading from Java 8 is one thing. A company that is just being conservative and intentional about the upgrade path, that's another entirely different thing.
I don't mind a company that has been using Java so much that it's just a slow process for them to get on the next thing. Old libraries that need to be recompiled for Java modules, etc. Hopefully it happens for you soon.
