TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.

<<I'd like to ask those of you who are FTE/captive employees >>
Well, I'm FTE but I'm not captive, since I can leave any time I want, just like a contractor...
<< 1. How many of you get paid training at all? >>
Yep.
<< 2. How many of you have either a limit on number of times or money? >>
Yep. We have a training budget for our division. First-come first-served, and when the money's gone, it's gone.
<< 3. How many of you could get paid time off to speak? >>
Yep, as long as it's related to my position here.
<< 4. Have you ever tried to negotiate the policy either at hiring or review time? >>
Not an option -- government employee
<< 5. Do you perceive a difference in policy between the technical communicators and other groups? >>
Nope.
