There is no path of progression for me in this company I am already at the top of the pay scale. | |

| Nov 15, 2016 at 9:19 | comment | added | Shodan | The bonus was for explaining another idea I had and working the company's IP lawyers to fill a patent. I'm currently doing the job that was asked, which in no way includes making a program to do it all automatically. If I don't keep the program, they still got all the work that I did. With my program only one person would be needed to do the job and the job I would be doing (I'm pretty sure I know which one) is harder and doesn't pay more and I already know I can't automate it. A net loss for me. | |
