File a wrongful termination lawsuit

I'm guessing you worked in a charity and decided to "take care" of an orphanage.

Now they saved more money!

But how exactly did you save the $6,000+

"DAMN IT, WE DON'T WANT TO SAVE MONEY! Why do you think we didn't switch to Geico?"

In some businesses, nobody cares about how the company does. They just want to mooch as much money of it's decaying carcass as possible before it goes under. Generally speaking, cost savings makes it harder to do that.

Hah. Thank you for the smile.

It all just comes down to how you made that money, and also whether or not it was your job to do so. A lot of places will not allow random employees to try and make changes, even if they're beneficial, simply because the risk of allowing untrained employees to do so outweighs the possible benefits. If it wasn't your place to save that money, you could have just been fired as a liability. "Sure, so-and-so earned us 6,000 dollars, but what's to stop him/her from losing us that much next time?"

I think they were expecting you to save the whole $12,000, not pocket half of it.
