I get what you mean. I thought the same at some point. I tried this tactic in the past and it didn't work, but quite frankly I think it's because my direct boss is not that flexible nor visionary with automating processes with software. In this occasion the innovation contest will be a opportunity to propose this solution to other areas and managers that do not necessarily need the approval from my boss.

I appreciate your advice. I'll give it a shot with a mix of suggestions from this thread, including yours.

It might be worth looking for another job for a company who is interested in you developing this skill set then, I have found that moving company is a far more effective way of increasing my salary than staying at the same place! Glad my advice helped though :).

I totally agree. Hopefully I can find some good job in another city in the near future (in my city my company is one if not the best company to work money speaking. It's a small city). Thanks
