Can't update apps because on an old work computer

An old employee originally set up our macbook but has since left the company. However I cannot update any of my apps from the app store because her apple id is the only thing showing up and I cannot put my new one in.

MacBook Pro 15", macOS 10.14

 A request for another Apple ID password is often caused by updates to apps/purchases that were made when using the other ID. Those purchases are tied to the other ID and can't be transferred. One option is to delete the apps/purchases made by the other ID and download them using the new ID if desired. If necessary, check your purchases history to see which apps/purchases weren’t made by the current ID.
