Let’s say you’re an IC whose job is to write code and fix bugs. What is the incentive for providing your company ideas worth potentially tens of millions of dollars, when your comp will stay virtually the same whether the idea is implemented or not? I’m just trying to understand what goes on in a CEO’s head when they ask their employees to think about providing revolutionary ideas that could take a company public.
A group and I won an internal hackathon and the vp of product asked my manager and me to productionize it. I think it increased my reputation in the company and indirectly helped with a promotion. That’s probably the best you’ll do. I would love to hear otherwise though.
Nice, what raise did you get? 10-15%? And kudos on your company slack? How many millions of dollars did your company make thanks to your idea and how many Maseratis does your SLT now own thanks to you? I don’t know if you’re making a convincing argument my man
I’m not trying to convice you to share your idea. If you expect your employer to give you something concrete in exchange for you telling them your idea, I would talk to a lawyer, and maybe you can draft up an agreement. If you don’t think that your company will give you anything significant, then build it yourself and create a company around it. If you don’t have time/money for either, share your idea and get a modest benefit like I did
If your bonus is based on company performance you can directly increase your bonus.
Think of this the other way. If you have a $1M idea, why don’t you quit you job and found your own company?

Thank you AAPL and NVDA
Ideas don’t generate revenue, implementation does. That’s why you can’t patent an idea.
That’s cool but my question is not about the difference between ideas and implementation
