I don't get it. Even if they insisted on hiring in India, there must be
tech writers there who write fluently in American English. And if the
point was to get the absolute cheapest tech writing possible, they could
hire a newbie tech writer in India who needed to learn Word, FrameMaker,
etc. -- anything but English!

Can nothing be done to sway Management? Perhaps STC India could assist
with a new search.
