Have a product built that will save my company millions of dollars per year (I estimate). The product took a few days to build but it’s niche knowledge. Not sure if I should give it to my company in attempt to reciprocate value to me for a long term career or if I should try to sell it to them via other avenues. How do I approach this. I built it on a personal laptop

I would review your companies policy and talk to a lawyer. There’s likely a policy on moonlighting (if you sell you would be moonlighting) and on using propriety knowledge for other uses.

I'm so stressed and nearing my limit 😪. My design partner for several years now, loves to pretend she's the CD and markup my work. Historically I've let it slide because she has good suggestions. But lately she outright changes my copy and tells me later. I'm easygoing and they're good suggestions so I try to ignore but its getting worse and borderline disrespectful. We work exclusively together so if I rock the boat its going to get even more uncomfortable. What would you do?
