Workplace Rant....What to do?? Kinda Long...Sorry

We had something similar, but they gave you $20, but most of the time, they would either find fault with the ideas or dismiss them altogether, then 3-6 months later they(management) would come up with the same idea, with no credit to the original thinker.

Too bad..we had guys that were making hundreds of thousands above their regular pay..and I am talking1982...the company loved it...
