Ummm.... what is it that you DO with the documentation?
Maybe DEVELOP it? Isn't it part of the product? Looks to me
like the company needs to remain competitive in more areas
of the development process than they had planned on, and
updating the resume is the correct move on your part.
And you may want to send a copy of your message to Scott
Adams. I don't have his E-mail address, but it's at the bottom
of each Dilbert cartoon.

I am livid and haven't been able to focus since being humiliated
yesterday.
In our weekly developers mtg, it was announced by the company VP that
effective next month, all developers will receive a standard raise of x
amount across the board in order for our company to remain competitive.
Sorry Richard, he said, this does not include you.
In an attempt to save face, I later showed this VP the recent STC salary
survey. He basically ignored it.
