Yes, all that work deserves some pay

Who do you think you are, the owner's son?

No, now get back to work!

Of course but look like your begging when you ask

Only if it's worth a best seller

Bah humbug!

Harumpf! That's intellectual property, dont think so!

I wrote a lengthy formal manual for my workplace on how to operate, troubleshoot, and run things for newbies and veterans alike. It took several years in the making. Should I ask for a bonus, some PTO, or at least a cooler for all my work?

If the request for $ is made I can predict the response. No one asked you to do that. Nice job sure we'll use it

Something tells me this is exactly what's going to happen.

At least 73 pages so far, with figures, charts, photos, illustrations it will surely be 100+ pages.

Think I'll start with asking for some beer and a cooler.

@PatKirby its job security innit.

dont give them a document that will replace you with a immigrant and a manual for 1/4 of the pay rate

There are at least 2 gimmiegrants around here, they better not aim too high...

I wouldn't ask for a bonus. If they appreciate the extra work you put in hopefully they will reward you with a bonus or raise.

Started from notes way back in 2007 and grew to included guidelines, guides, procedures, policy, illustrations, diagrams, etc... so yeah, would be nice.

If they don’t pay you for that then they don’t appreciate your hard work.

Almost finished with it, all I got from a program manager was "Kudos, excellent work." 😳

Where is this going, where will it all end?

Just another complement?
