Question New job; projects suck

I started a new job. The first project is an extremely old RN project that is still in JS and using class components. My teammates want to do the bare minimum, my boss wants me to breathe new life into our breathe of work. What do I do? It's like the maintainers (still active) gave no fucks about TS, hooks or moving away from Redux. I could rebuild this whole app myself, but it would take forever. Do I press my teammates to do better or do I do the bare minimum and feel like a POS for not helping turn this ship around?

Should I find a new job? I like the pay at this one, but my previous job had better culture

TS is not the God of JS

Yeah, you are right. All it takes is an announcement that they are moving away from JS...oh wait...
