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 agree with Roberto Giovanni: it's the small things that matter most. For
example, I've noticed fewer and fewer social activities among employees.
Camaraderie is rarer now that people are laid off more freuqently and
contractors are more commonly used. This may help short term productivity
and profits, but it hurts companies' long term stability and growth.
