I've personally done something similar through mentorship. Learn something interesting and relevant to the company (in this case scheduling and convex optimization), build something, document, teach others how it works, move on. You can create organizational chaos by skipping that last step, you may even achieve job security. But it's blatantly obvious to both your managers and coworkers if you fight to keep them off your turf. Don't expect respect or admiration.
