What would you expect from your employer in this situation?

I'm in IT, my company was purchased by a much larger company. Long story short, we are much more advanced on the tech side than they are. They contract out basically everything and end up with shite.
We are currently paying contractors around 500k a month, some portion of that is to manually do some documentation. I took a couple of weeks and automated the entire process essentially eliminating the need for the contractors and some portion of that 500k a month.
Should I expect some sort of bonus, raise, promotion, or just atta boy?

Never underestimate the other guy’s greed.

Atta boy. Just the reality.

Laid off for automating your job...

Just ask for hookers and blow

Do you have a bonus structure attached to your comp? If not, and if your company does not have a history of rewarding such behavior with a bonus, then you will be getting an atta-boy.
That said...you can always ask. You never know.

If you did that, why would you just give it to them without leveraging it to your advantage?
You should expect a free pass to Chucky Cheese at most.

You’ll get nothing, should quit and work as an outsourcing agent

You'll be let go after they see that they require a major hardware upgrade so that this issue never happens again.

My boss actually told me to patent it and sell it back to the company, her boss agreed. The whole intellectual property, patents, lawsuits kinda deal scares me.
It's a very common need in my field.

I know very little about IT, in fact, I can't even read. But I'm finding it difficult to believe that in two weeks you saved your company six million dollars a year.

Don't expect anything that's not in your contract.

I'd keep my job and sell the technology to the contractor.

A small percentage of the savings would be nice. Approach them if they don't approach you.

Contractors work hourly. They will continue to do shite the long hard way as long as you will employ them.
It's a double whammy, as my company doesn't care about cost, every expense ruled toward the merger is a tax write off.

You should probably just be happy to keep your job if a big boy that likes to outsource just bought your mom and pop shop.....I've seen entire IT depts downsized to 2-3 people when that kind thing happens especially if the big boy already has a 3rd party relationship that they like.

If accurate, talk to an IP lawyer. The patent process may seem confusing to you (and to the rest of us that don’t practice in that area) but it’s not to them. Also make sure to check over any employment agreement you signed. The ones I see lately include an IP assignment.

A top 10 insurance company bought a top 15 insurance company. Our IT department is 3 times the size of theirs. We do everything in house, they contract out. They are easily 10 years behind us in IT.
