I made a former company $100M p.a. And all I got was a 30K bonus paid out over 6 years. Not even a promotion as I was on a visa. The asset required maintenance and without me it slowly degraded away. Every now and then I offer to go back and fix it for a flat $1M but instead they would rather believe that it’s impossible. You could imagine the sheer dysfunction required to let that much money go.
A former colleague built a program that would have saved $30M p.a. in OpEx but as a policy they can’t deploy something unless more than two people understand it and they wouldn’t pay enough to hire someone capable enough. Probably would have taken $600K.
It’s about power and in general management does not want to yield power to ICs no matter how much money they could make with it. The more productive the IC the more power management loses.
