RE: Tech writer = office manager?

[John Posada <JPosada -at- book -dot- com>]

While we're merrily taking jabs at posts like this, there are unemployed
writers looking at the posts thinking.."da.., if I only knew the name
company put these ads up, I'd send them my resume." To someone who's
unemployment ran out, $20k is about $20k more than $0k.

The company puts them up because they know they'll get bites. They may get a
great deal of chaff, but they'll get wheat, too. These adds will continue to
appear while there are more writers than positions. It's not their
fault...it's ours.

I'd really like to know the name of the companies that put these ads up,
if for no other reason than to know what products or services will be
coming down the pipeline a year or so from now with unusable user
documentation so I can avoid them.
