I tend to agree with Mike about tools and employers. I've had employers who
wanted everything written in Word because prior to my arrival, the
engineering staff wrote all the content and a pseudo technical writers
formatted it for publication. The person I replaced didn't have a clue how
Word worked and constantly complained about not having FrameMaker. Had he
learned the tool his employer required him to use, his life would have been
easier and his employment at that company longer.
