Are we talking about "the wrong type of work" as in a company wants
writers to produce a certain type of documentation that won't serve
the needs of users the way the company thinks it will, or as in a
company wants its writers to produce documentation that makes false
claims and/or fails to inform users of potential dangers in using the
product?
