Maury:
Before (new contract job), I always felt I had to be prepared with a
defense.... I was made to feel that I was taking too long to do tasks that
were quite complex in reality.
Tony Markatos responds:
Old TW saying: Good technical communications is so simple and
straight-forward that they (usually management) will wonder what took you so
long.
Bottom Line: In most organizations, it is very dangerous to be efficient and
effective.
