It is cute if it comes from an eleven year old sibling, but I don’t think it would hit the same coming from a forty-something year old spouse.
If I thought it would work, I would be doing this every day. My husband just increased efficiency of a process by ten times. Where is his bonus? Where is his raise? He deserves something, ya’ skinflints
I did plant engineering for years and helped many of my customers improve their productivity and reduce costs. I got the orders for the instruments needed to make it happen, but the engineers I helped got incentives. In one instance, each of the 6 engineers in the department got $6000 for an automation project. In another instance, a worker on the line at a Ford foundry showed the management a way to save a ton of money on scrap they were throwing away. They gave him a Ford Mustang as a reward.
Hopefully your husband gets some recognition, and if not some bonus, then perhaps a promotion to a higher paying job.

As an HR professional, I can confirm that we occasionally cave to constant, repeated requests.
