Hello Susan,
* Antwort auf eine Nachricht von sbrown -at- JSCSYS -dot- COM an All am 10.04.97
ss> From: Susan Brown <sbrown -at- JSCSYS -dot- COM>
I'm a bit late, but I was away for a few days...
ss> I am the sole documentation person in a firm of about
ss> 30 employees
ss> (all programmers, excepting one admin person)
by my observation you need a 1:10 ... 1:3 writer/programmer ratio! Your job
desperately looks like Mission Impossible.
ss> I started work for this firm in November. I was barely
ss> able to get
ss> 15 hours worth of work a week until the end of February because
ss> nobody was
ss> willing to bring me up to date on the (extant) projects, or let
ss> me know what, if any, documentation would be required.
I should better not write what I am thinking at the moment... :-(
