How to prove the importance of your work to superiors?
Good day. I work for company N as a web programmer. In connection with the latest corporate changes, the new management treats my work with incomprehension, practically says "what are you doing there, put a couple of buttons and that's it", while when I start explaining how much I had to sweat to "this button" generates a report on sales, and the "tick" acted as a filter, using complex computational algorithms and Ajax integration with the application server ...
I would like to know the method (s) that would allow to clearly explain to the management why such a the task seems to require just such an amount of time.

Look for another job.
If the leadership is engaged in tyranny, it is incurable.
Even if, after you leave, the company gets on the money, looking for a replacement, or gets on the money because they hired a student who wrote a crooked report with crooked numbers, self-conceit will not allow them to understand that this is their problem. Will drive on krivoruk programmers.
judging by the fact that you communicate directly with the management, the desk is small and your position there is a cost center.
thus, maybe they really do not need their own developer due to its high cost.
in any case, you should not be offended and call the bosses fools, but work where you will become the center of profit generation.

I noticed this syndrome too:
stupidity multiplied by arrogance plus laziness
such people do not want to learn and work with their heads, but they want to manage and teach others
and everything is through them *
this phenomenon is well illustrated by the parable of the old woman and the goldfish -
the old woman is capitalism
you are the working class, you are squeezed out and they drink your blood in the office, effective managers
goldfish is your talent + knowledge + experience
simple classic advice - work only with those who are really smarter than you and from whom you can learn different sciences and arts,
or if there are none - go to the factory and do it your startup, because you will have a lot of free time,
it makes no sense to integrate into the slave pyramid - program it
Every day, go to the boss yourself and talk about what you do for 5 minutes, fuck that today you really didn’t do anything, bring all kinds of garbage, give reports with some beautiful pictures and graphs, ask for an assessment. From time to time talk about how tired you are and how difficult it was to complete this task. Make any suggestions on what can be improved, etc., etc.
If after 1.5 months nothing changes, just change jobs.
Well, i.e. your boss doesn't think it's important what you do.
And your opinion is not appreciated, i.e. you are not an authority for him.
Try to become an authority, try to do important things. Apparently what you do does not really affect the business, so the attitude is like that. Start to be interested in what makes the company profitable, how you can increase profits. Offer your options, ideas. Do more than what is required of you. You need to make a button, and besides that, you also washed down such a cool feature, to which the authorities will say "wow". Present your work in such a way that the authorities really want the features that you offer.
I would do something like this. Now you and your boss are just at very different levels and speak different languages.
To leave, as many advised here, you will always have time. But this is a weak solution, just avoiding the problem. Similarly, in another place after a while you have to leave then. And you will run from problems from place to place, instead of using these problems as a source of personal, professional and career growth.
And yes, read books on Boss Management.
Yes, I do not approve of the brain steamer that others offer. Such brain steaming causes irritation and only worsens the relationship without solving the problem, but simply temporarily masking it. In addition, the respondents for some reason assume that the boss is a fool or something like that, in general they produce a false attribution. And their decisions come from this. And the boss is most likely (as is usually the case) actually smarter.
Yes, there is such a thing, especially in companies where software development is not their main activity. Often management does not understand and knows little about software development.
If this does not suit you, then:
- look for another job
- try to speak the language of finance with him, i.e. try the following:
a) tell us what value your product brings, you can talk with a marketer, a customer of this product, he understands why he ordered it for you (for example: I am developing a site with which it is planned to increase profits up to 20%, if the site is developed, there are probably already some indicators).
b) prepare a list of the work you did during the day
b) how much time did you spend on the work
c) write how much this service costs on the market and how much time they will spend on development (search on the Internet, calling developer companies)
Example:
Page development \ 6 hours \ 6000 rubles \ 1 day
Table development \ 10 hours \ 500 rubles \ 2 days
Outcome:
1. I am developing a website with the help of which it is planned to increase profits up to 20%. The planned number of site visitors is 199 per day. In fact, we are visited by 200 per day. As a result of my work, the site will have an order function, visitors will be able to order goods, and the design of the site will improve, due to this it is planned to increase the number of visitors to 200 people per day.
//tell orally and give the document in the form of tables or graphs
2. The services rendered by me (+ support) will cost you 1,000,000 rubles, while the duration of the implementation will be up to 3 weeks. + annual support in the amount of 100,000 rubles.
I perform services for a salary, while the duration of the performance is up to 1 week. You win thus. in terms of money, quality of services and development time
