Re: Tech Writers as Hourly Employees?!

["Gene Kim-Eng" <techwr -at- genek -dot- com>]

Well, let's face facts.  There are a lot of tech writers with some sort
of inferiority complex about their status in their companies.  Some of
them come by it honestly (by having worked at certain companies
that many of us know but shouldn't identify by name here); others I
don't know about.  That's why I said previously that I would argue
against converting salaried writers to hourly unless it was clear to me
that the conversion would result in them getting more money.  But
from a purely selfish viewpoint, I would still rather not have hourly
writers, because keeping track of all those #$%^ timesheets is a
pain.

So why on Earth would I want to salary like others where I work that
do not get overtime or shift differential?
