Michael:

What most Technical Writers do is document procedure.
Unfortunatly, knowledge of essential company procedure
is turf - and people will defend their turf to the
death. Such turf battles is what most organizational
politics is really about.

Soooo, if our job is to document procedure -
especially essential procedure, we must learn to
thrive on politics.
