How should handle the fact that my supervisor keeps saying yes to everything from upper management? It's to a point where we are doing things that the other teams are supposed to be doing. My supervisor is new to management position, but by him saying yes to everything, he's just piling workload on us.

I'm keeping backups to my Google Drive

Thank you guys for the input and recommendations. I'm still at this job, and I haven't deleted anything yet. As many of you mentioned, it might be wise of me to leave the scripts in case I get a new job, and need my supervisor's recommendations.

Would be it be wrong of me to ask for a raise and promotion? This is my first IT job, and I've been here for a a little over one year. I'm looking for another job because when I first started, we had 5 people in the IT department. Now we have about 20 or more. We hired a CIO, who made it worse. Plus, my supervisor is a "yes" man, meaning he will say yes to anything (he's also new to a management position), thus making us to carry the weight. That's the reason why I originally started writing scripts to automate tasks, and to reduce our work load, for the whole team.

I appreciate all the comments and recommendations, thank you.

My job contract doesn't include writing scripts. This is my first IT job, so i'm employed as an IT Specialist (fix computers, install software etc), nothing about writing scripts in my job description. I'll read the contract again, but I don't think there's anything on there about intellectual property on my contract.

Thanks for the comments, I appreciate it. I think I'll let them know I'm removing the scripts from the system when I leave so they're aware. If they ask to keep it, I can ask to be reimbursed for it. My supervisor knows about my scripts, and he knows that I wrote these in my free time (except the 20%)

There's no real benefit to me if I delete them since I'm leaving, but I do have a copy of those files in my Google Drive. It would benefit the company after I leave if I don't delete the files. Yes, the company will gain if I keep those files, because those programs I wrote saves the company hours.

I would say about 20% work and the rest during weekends, nights, etc. I was not using company resources, I was using my own computer. I don't see why I should leave these programs when I leave because it's like giving away free work because even after I leave, anyone could run these programs to automate tasks. It would've been a different if I got a raise or promotion, but so far none, plus I don't really like working at this company anymore.
