Factory worker and Reddit user Wintertodt really liked their job. So much so that they even produced a piece of software to optimize the machinery in their free time. Everything was going great. But after their boss was replaced, the new chief decided to reorganize the place and as a result, Wintertodt got laid off.
Leaving the company, they asked the higher-ups to compensate them for the program that they have developed since it turned out to be an essential part of the business. However, the request was denied and Wintertodt was shown to the door instead.
But later the managers realized that the software wasn’t fully automatic and, in fact, required someone to look after it. Since Wintertodt hadn’t trained anyone, they were the only one who could do it. Still, the worker and their former employer couldn’t come to an agreement on how to proceed.
