I automated my job over a year ago and haven't told anyone
That is not how teams work. I recommend this book to learn more on how teams work: https://www.amazon.com/Wisdom-Teams-Creating-High-Performanc...
⬐ tamiralI have this book and haven't read it yet... but will start it! thanks for the reminder.⬐ neom⬐ jxidjhdhdhdhfhfExtremely boring, but I recommend persisting to the end.People are unable to realize a script can be written because that's "not how teams work"? I'm very confused at what you're trying to say.⬐ neomImperfect analogies so please read between the lines....: Take a finance team, you have a group of specialists who don't really know what each other do, FP&A vs BM&A or Investor relations. However, they don't need to know what each other do because they can trust the person next to them to say, hey.. payroll is now automated, I have extra time now, what should I work on to improve things, is it fair to take advantage of that in a team simply because one person isn't an expert? If you know someones job is to do something, say.. buy servers, but you know they don't know anything about servers, only how to finance them, should you exploit that for your self gain? If there is a person who's job it is to optimize, but the system is obfuscated, is that fair to the team? OP said it's win win, that is intellectually dishonest, it is not win win. that's my real point.⬐ jxidjhdhdhdhfhfIDK I think it really depends on the company and their culture. If they reward automation and innovation, then they'll get more of it. It they punish it by firing you, then they get less of it.
