Life is too short not to do what makes you happy. I guess that's why, since
I left the Air Force as an officer, I have ONLY worked for me.

Thanks for your input Don. I admit I was likely venting more than
anything.
2. Are there concerns about ownership even if it was written 100% by meAre you saying that they own it in spite of the fact they have made
on my own time but was tailored to the company's needs, was tested at our
office on our network and received a cursory review by one manager?
negligible contribution and have demonstated complete disinterest and
didn't
even request or suggest that it be created?
If they still own it, if I sent an email to management requesting their
opinion, which I fully expect will be disdainfully rebuffed, would that
demonstrate abandonment by them and give me a case?
The program belongs to your employer unless they release it to you. or,They are definately cognizant that I have it but I think the symbolic
they
are too dumb to know you have it.
meaning as their response to my position is of more value to them (i.e.
the
idea is garbage). This motivated by the implication that I don't think
they're competant and disagree with the current paper-based system (which
is
their creation). It was given tacit approval in the beginning and they
were
aware I was writing it, but I think they woke up once it appeared.

I have spent roughly 200 hours exclusively of my personal time writing
an
extensive lab management program for my employer. This was done out of
the
goodness of my heart and with the intense desire to end the agony of
our
dysfunctional ways. In spite of receiving tacit approval at one point
and
having the support of colleagues, management is now completely and
deliberately ignoring it.
Questions:
1. To cut my losses, is there a practical way to sell the program?
2. Are there concerns about ownership even if it was written 100% by
me
on my own time but was tailored to the company's needs, was tested at
our
office on our network and received a cursory review by one manager?
3. Would it return a decent price - i.e. would it likely be worth
the
effort?
4. What about piracy concerns?
5. Additional words of wisdom much apprecitated !!!
Greg
