Quote of the Day

[Mary Arrotti]

Would your manager be willing to talk directly to the SVP & ask that the SVP use a less demeaning term to refer to the writers? 
   
  Another suggestion - ask your manager to publicize the work your team does. On a regular basis (weekly, monthly) send to MGT a list of your group's contributions and their impact to other groups, the company, and the bottom line.

  After a recent all-hands meeting, in which a senior VP referred to us as scribes, these developers started walking around snapping, "Hey, tech writer, go scribe; jot that down".

My manager is disgusted and wants to call a meeting. He wants to spend an hour extolling the virtues of the tech writers. Uh...no, I can't subscribe to this approach.
