TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
My comments had to do with the efficiency of the workplace process, not
the sincerity or work ethic of the people involved. The work process
does not need to take as much time as it usually does.
Inefficiency is a cornerstone of the American office (overseas people
will have to provide your own experience) and results in longer hours.
Every project I've seen could have been done easily in fewer hours,
with less collateral damage to the staff.
I resent the accusation that 40-hour diehards work less. There are many
of us who want to work efficiently and get out of the office. There was
never in my statement any slight toward those who like to work more,
only the statement that working more than 40 hours a week, bar
emergencies, is not necessary.
