How about:
* Am I replacing someone who left? If so, why did that person leave?
* What does the org structure look like from my point of view, in terms of
training, marketing, sales and development? (this helps you formulate other
questions)
* Who currently manages the web servers in the company? (this could be an
appropriate task for a doc department)
* What sort of doc department goals you would like to see accomplished in
the next 12 months?
* What kind of budget do I have to work with for next fiscal year?
* When growth is required, how would I go about bringing on new staff or
contractors?
