    Work dilemma

    I had the offer to join the project multiple times, but its working away from home week after week for a year, and due to personal life it's not an option for me. I'm not really sure what I want. Perhaps better job prospects within my local area. As I mentioned I went to university and got a decent technical degree, and although I say it myself, I'm a clever bloke, but have always doubted myself and held myself back and stuck to comfort and familiarity. I did it myself at home over a few evenings, sat in the sun with a pint. They allowed access to a training system outside the local network so I've been playing around with it, there's a few other bits I've been working on but this is most significant. Creating this tool is absolutely nothing to do with my job or any role I have within this temporary project. I made it to make my own job easier once the depot converts systems and realised its potential afterwards.

    Work dilemma

    It's something I considered, however time constraints with the project, and scope (its only valid within this company), i don't believe it is an option. This is something I hadn't thought about. I do have a senior manager in my depot who I get on with very well. I had only considered discussing this with members of the project but now you all mention it, I could get some advice from him and perhaps support with furthering it. He would also be able to help with costs, savings etc. Thanks all.
  5. Got a bit of a work dilemma. I've worked 1 job my whole life, I'm still there now. I recently got to (partly) join a massive project the company is undertaking. Joining this project has enabled me to move on from the same manual labour job I've done for 10 years, to an office job within the same building. It's less money but better job. I went to uni and got a decent degree, but always stayed in the same job as the money was very good. I've always doubted myself and just felt comfortable staying somewhere I know. This project is to completely replace the computer systems that run the warehouses, nationwide. 20+ depots. I noticed something missing from the new system, which every single depot has complained about. I have created a tool that does exactly what is missing, which works without fault. The software company charge 100k+ for any additions that were missed on the original brief. This thing I've created turns a 30 minute (and longer) job into a 10 second job. In this industry time is money. When I first created it and saw that it worked I was so bloody happy. I told the local project manager, who wanted to set up a zoom meeting with a training manager of the same team, with the look to roll it out nationally. This has yet to happen. I know how this company works, and if I just show them and give them the tool, that's it. A pat on the back, a cheers mate, nothing else. I am extremely shy by nature and avoid confrontation at all cost. But I know what this is worth to them. How do I even approach a discussion about this? For this specific task, what I have made is brilliant. The limited people I've shown are amazed. However this project is enormous. And this is a small part of that project. As I said the only people i have contact with are localised project managers that don't actually know the system that well themselves. If I had that meeting yesterday, I would've given them it on the spot. My local part of the project ends in 2 weeks. After that, I'm back to the day job. The project moves on, potentially with my creation and i get nothing out of it. This is the only place i've worked. Its not in my nature to kick up a fuss. But I can see the value of this to them. Now i really don't know what to do. How do I approach it. How do I talk to them about it. I struggle with awkward conversations. I'm not thinking they should pay me an enormous amount of money for it, but I want more than what I know I will get. Any advice greatly appreciated.
