How do I handle this?

About two years ago I provided a detailed idea to the bank where I work. My idea ended up saving them about 200-400k a year. I got a decent cash reward and a promotion.

Well, the last year or so I sat in meetings with a former boss. They asked for my input and I gave them tons.

Now almost all of the ideas I suggested they are using, even nationwide and I'm not getting squat.

I want to be a team player and not appear to gripe but man, these are some huge changes that impacts thousands of people, for the better, saves time and money and really I'm getting nothing. Not even a hey pstall came up with this in an email.

Any ideas?

Something similar happened to me at my last job. I spent 18 months traveling all over the country (and I hate travel) helping to deploy new tech to try and save the company around $1,000,000.

Even though the project manager was an idiot and decisions she made were going to prevent us from meeting that goal, I played along and busted my ass (mentally, physically, time-off, everything), and got 98% of the project done.

Then... my review came up. I got a "meets expectations" and a 3% raise. Even though the work I was doing was WAY above, beyond and outside what my job title was, I got a measly 3% raise. I had a 6% raise the year before, for doing a third of the work.

Within 3 months, I was working for a new company. I took a 2k pay cut, but my responsibilities were maybe 25% as stressful and difficult as my former job. Not that it's been a bed of roses at the new job... nothing ever is... but it was the only way I could give a middle finger to the assholes that had me running around like a mad man for a year and a half, with nothing to show for all that hell I paid.

With raises and occasional OT, I'm back to where I was. But I'm convinced I did the right thing. Turns out they had a big fire sale at my old job and the ***** that wouldn't big me any credit or reward for working hard got poo-canned.

      Last night with some players

      Sounds encouraging.  I agree about the LB....I was CERTAIN second round would be a LB.  I would also like to add that, on paper, DL looked solid--but only 1 performed well in 2025 (2 if you count Robinson, who is now gone).  I am guessing they feel that the LB play will improve with the improvement up front--logical.  Remember the old rule (not sure who said it first) "You build from the inside out, front to back."   We drafted, in my early opinion, a starting NT and C this year.  inside out, front to back.

      Agree--I think a mid-level tackle but he could prove to be an elite G--not sure how he would do at RT--or maybe Freeling---lotta moving parts--but I would look at him at G if mid-level T is his ceiling--he has been improving, but the injury..

      Worked an event that many players were at including Ickey. Talked to him, looks and walks around good/normal. Taylor Moton released a new Tequila with his partner Matt Kahlil. Taylor looks great and is psyched for the season. He's such a good guy. Even Derrick Brown, very focused. It's like a quiet, calm I'm gonna rip through you confidence. Building his forever home and sticking around CLT. Bryce stopped in, but was upbuilding talking to the guys, not drinking, smoking cigars like others. There was little different aura with them, almost a quiet confidence, some fun. Reminded me of the 2013-2018 era. Had an event Tuesday with TD (he was there last night too) and he thinks the team looks real good, maybe just needs an another LB. He loves the Devin Lloyd pick up.  No negative comments, just giving a nice update on some players.
