As an aside to the subject, I once had a position where the CEO thought good
documentation was at least half of what made his company's products
successful and frequently told me that hiring me was the best decision he
had made in years. Then the Chairman of the Board passed away suddenly and
was replaced by his widow, who hated the CEO and set about clearing out him
and anyone he had ever hired. So much for "respect" and "values" and their
relation to job longevity and satisfaction. Sometimes, life just happens no
matter how good a handle you think you have on it.
