I hate it.

It's like pulling teeth to get any help from him, and everything I do doesn't seem important.

"This isn't a documentation issue."
"I'll talk to so-and-so about this and I will get back to you."
"I'm swamped right now. Talk to bossman about prioritizing my time."

Not only will he not acknowledge anything I send him electronically, but his form of communication to me is through our boss. He has no problem speaking his mind about anything to anyone else, but he seems to have an issue around me??

Grow up.

There was an issue that I raised in our bug tracking program about a graphic we were using. Apparently, there was a discussion between him and the development manager. Why I wasn't included in this discussion is beyond me. Anyhow, my boss told me to ask this developer to update the graphic.

This developer didn't reply to my e-mail, but the graphic was updated. Apparently, his design expertise overrides mine. And they wanted the graphic to look that way. Lame.

I can't wait to get out of this place. I feel like during the interview, I was misled into thinking this would have been an okay company to work for. They really sold themselves and the work I would be doing. Anyway, during the interview, I made sure to ask about the development process because I didn't want to experience the same (bad) things as my last job. I wanted to make sure things were different.

I know my complaints are common amongst tech writers, but I know there are some companies out there that respect documentation. In my resume, my objective clearly states "To further a career as a technical communicator for a company that values quality documentation..."

During one of the pep talks, our CEO said we were all hired because we were the best. Maybe there should be some faith in my work and feedback, then. 

Maybe I should take up boxing.
