Respecting Technical Writers

» sirfrank5 - RESPECT

Hi, I'm new to suite101. Just read your article on respect and just had to say it is soooo true. I thought it was only that way with my company. Guess it's like that everywhere.

» VMTWriter - Unfortunately, it is like that all over

Hi, yes, unfortunately, the lack of respect is not company specific. But, we can change that. I hope that you can help change attitudes in your company. Good Luck!

» H2O - Tina the brittle Tech Writer...

from the "Dilbert" strip symbolizes this lack of respect, no? How often are dealines pushed back for the engineers designing the product--but the release date is the same and the product manager wonders why the Tech Writer, who must produce a User Manual, Service Manual, and have the User Manual done in a timely fashion to get 14 languages translated gets all irate and jumpy. Gee, I wonder....
