Probably would have offered the contractor a chance to buy your automation system

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.
25 years ago within 6 weeks of being promoted to branch manager of a national loan company I identified a simple wording change that with a refiling of the business license in OK would net the company an extra half billion in the remaining 9 months of the fiscal year. No attaboy or anything just 3 weeks later the office clerk/cashier/secty comes over and points out the resupply of loan contracts had my changes on them.

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.
If he did the work on a company computer, then the work belongs to the company. Normally, the employee would need to disclose in advance any other projects being worked on in regards to IP.

In corporate mergers the suckier of the two departments usually takes over.
Those guys have been crafty enough to keep their jobs for years while sucking.
You'll be unemployed soon.

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.

You should have nailed that down beforehand if it was not part of your core duty, if it was you should expect a paycheck.

Why didn’t you create a storyboard or some other method of explaining what you could do and use that as leverage to get a bonus? Now that the works done, you’re stuck.
My FIL invented the polymer that is RhinoShield. A variation of it is used at Disney on the monorail track. He made his salary, got an arts boy, and that’s it....and he’s content with that because that was part of his job.

Honestly in your situation I’d expect a raise at the next performance evaluation that would be higher than it would be otherwise

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.
I made a fine living rehabilitating insurance companies to either turn a profit...or recommending they be dissolved. I wrote significant portions of the naic manual.
While you assume your bloated staff to be a mark of pride and self sufficiency, anyone with half a brain would question why your IT department is 3x larger for a smaller company.
Furthermore, I would assume assets are being funneled to said bloated department for reasons beyond the scope of your position.
ETA: viewing the other company, I would question why those amounts of money are leaving the company rather than being properly utilized.
So which company was approaching insolvency? Big or little?

He said they contract out, right?

If we went in, 95% of the time they were too far gone. Usually because of a gross mismanagement of capital.
Insurance companies basically make money faster than they can spend it. You have to try to mess it up.

How?
If you have a constant revenue stream and keep reinvesting it in revenue producers for long enough you should be golden. It’s only when you aren’t making your money make money and being frivolous with it that you should get in trouble

If only they would fairly pay out on their claims.

Does your employer value what you did, or not? I've worked for some who didn't care to automate regarding contractors, they were given budgets for contract labor work and were only too happy to just spend it without considering it wasteful.

Has your work been implemented?
Is the company aware of what you have done?
