I have a strong idea that would improve our core product, but I don’t feel paid enough for that level of work. If I build it on company time, it becomes theirs with no guarantee of a raise or credit. If I hold it back, I’m leaving value on the table and risking someone else solving it.
Did anyone propose an idea first and use it as leverage for better pay? Or did you just build it? How did it turn out? Curious how others handle this gap.
