What was the premise for creating that position out of
whole cloth?

How was it seen to benefit the company? What does the
technical communication specialist do that a technical
writer (senior) does not?

Hmmm. My salary is left over from my hiring time circa
1998 (the tech-bubble run-up), so it's actually slightly
high compared to what the market is offering today --
I've seen tech-writer positions for what looks like
lone-writer being advertised for twenty-to-thirty grand
less in this region.
If our HR person were to research what "technical
communication specialists" are getting, I might find
myself being scrutinized for the wrong reasons, mightn't I.

On the other hand, keeping my head down and being
careful is not a path to advancement.

Devil you know? Devil you don't?
