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.
I recognize this is a hot topic among many. In fact, I read the bulk
of the techwr-l threads dating back to 2003 and found mostly disdain
for the practice of grading staff with a matrix. I feel mostly the
same way, while at the same time understand a company's need for
objective measurements to justify an employee's salary.
All that aside, I am hunting for wheels so that I don't have to
reinvent them. Would anyone be willing to share a list of essential
skills for a Technical Communicator that could be used to (gasp)
influence
an employee's salary increase?
