My Google Alert for ‘Technical Writing” threw up this blog post this morning.
My first reaction was that he (?) hated women in positions of authority, but then I kept reading. He could have been in my head writing about a documentation manager I had a few years back when I worked for a Large Company. I haven’t had enough experience working for doc managers to know whether his diatribe applies across the board, but it definitely applied to the person I worked for.

Interesting, that certainly doesn’t describe my current manager, although her team encompasses more than doco. A former manager was a bit like that, but not as hellish as Flip describes. All of my other managers have come from dev backgrounds, rather than writing backgrounds, so they didn’t fit this description at all.
