One situation I've been in in the past is where the company I am working
for is bought out and the new company doesn't have any TW/DWs and hasn't
a clue what to call you or what salary grade to give you. It's pretty
much HR roulette.

You know it's time to update the CV when you get a promotion (and a tiny
raise or no raise) from "technical writer" to "documentation
specialist".

And in one or two years they do it again, this time from "documentation
specialist" to "technical writer".
