Hi All
This has a link to the thread - Expectations too high. I have landed in a
similar situation.
To give a brief idea:
I am working with this company since last 2 yrs. as TW. Started with User
guides, Installation guides and all other relevant guides for various
products of the company. Then it came to writing Whitepapers which I had
never done but did successfully and now after every 2 to 3 month I have to
write a new whitepaper. This was okay with me.
But then it came to standarding the procurement processes for the product.
This was also done successfully.
Then to came to writing SRS and now I have to write small write-ups in line
with the advertisement releases.
I am a person who likes exploring new things and frankly speaking I enjoy
this variety of work.
But I want to know
1. What exactly other TW around the world are writing
and expected to?
2. Is it too much my company is expecting from me?
3. What designation should be given to me to reflect the actual work I am
doing?
