"Most disconcerting to me, technical writers lose. We are constantly fighting for status and changing our titles in an attempt to boost regard for ourselves and our profession. (When did you last hear an engineer ask for a new title?) Even if we stay on good terms with subject matter experts, we are usually the last in line to get their attention. This puts us under tremendous pressure to complete our work." -Rochelle Singer (printed in September/October 1999 Intercom)I couldn't have said it better myself. And I haven't.
And no, I didn't get a promotion.
