I was actually told by one major Fortune 100 employer that they only
employed tech writers as agency-based or independent contract workers
because they didn't have a formal career path for them! They had a tech
writer who had been grinding along at the same job for 12 years without
permanent status or benefits.

I worked for them for two years anyway. By the second year it was just
too hard to watch $2000 annual employee bonuses being handed out to
six-month new hires while I didn't even get a thank you card, so I moved
on with my life and out of the area.

The company has since fallen on very hard times and it couldn't have
happened to a more deserving bunch of imbeciles.
