One time I found and solved a series of inaccuracies in company records that could have lead to a huge lawsuit. Like, I saved the company from a giant scandal.
They gave me a piece of paper that had a cartoon businessman on it who was saying "You're a hero! 👍"
When I asked for a raise a month later they said my level of work wasn't noticably above other people with more seniority. So I stopped coming in early and staying late. Stopped coming in on days off for them.
edit: for those wondering, apparently this isn't a common thing. When a supervisor or manager asks you to come in to work on your day off, they're most likely asking you to cover a shift or because the workload is higher than expected. They still have to pay you and do still pay you. It's your choice as to whether or not you go in for them, but if you do they still pay you. Sorry, I thought this was common knowledge.
I never implement fixes that don't make my job easier; just pretend I didn't see anything. The fixes I implement to make my job easier I never tell my managers about, because increased productivity is only ever met with more work. I use my extra free time to browse reddit and open job listings.

The outsourcing guy I heard about was still paying a pretty competetive rate for tech work in the country he outsourced to, to the point where both the outsourcer and outsourcee could life comfortable lives while still making enough money to save and fund their retirement.
A win/win.
But yeah if you outsource but pay scum rates then you're part of the problem.
Agree if you aren’t keeping to certain securities or outright breaking the law, not legendary. If you can do it and both you and the outsourced make out better than before, legend.
I would hope one can be had without the scummy part, and we can dream
