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, for one, like hearing about what is happening in this profession - including
what type of raises to expect. My first raise at this company was around 3%
(standard for retail). I felt insulted because I had come from the software
industry and was accustomed to higher raises. When they saw my reaction,
another 7% was anted up a couple of months later.
I suppose we all come across threads that we are not interested in - thus the
use of the Delete key. Eric dictates what is and isn't appropriate for the
list, and postings specifically about what is and isn't appropriate are
specifically mentioned as being not appropriate in the list of rules. I hate
those postings more than anything because in passing judgment on other posters
that MIGHT be off topic, they ARE off topic.
Besides, we could always go back to discussing one vs. two spaces after
periods........
