Scary responsibility in job ad

[Writer]

Or if the company absolutely feels that the engineers need to learn to communicate better, put the onus on them, not on the tech writers. Make it a part of the engineers' objectives, pay for courses, get the engineers to demonstrate that their skills have improved. If they fail, then no soup for them!

>I don’t think this should ever be the responsibility  of a tech writer, but it does indicate why they *need* a tech writer.    I say let the engineers be engineers and let the tech writers be tech writers.
