I'm not sure I see the point here. You improve the process because you're subject to it, and because the current process has some downsides to you.
If you're trying to improve a process just for the recognition, then you're by definition not subject to it, so you're playing the role of a manager. And you excluded that yourself in your first sentence.
- mschuster91 4y ago> If you're trying to improve a process just for the recognition, then you're by definition not subject to it Simple: when hired as a developer, I expect being compensated in one way or the other for work that goes beyond scope - especially when it is like in most private companies where you need some form of achievements to show to get a raise or a promotion. And do not forget: when you improve processes, usually your workload will be increased as a result, so in the worst case you'll end up with your manager getting the raise for your suggestion and double the workload as "thanks".
- rhn_mk1 4y agoThis falls squarely into stepping out of the developer role and taking on the role of a manager though. It's really not about the people who don't want to think about those things.
