Once upon a time, I thought I would be a viable candidate for supervisor of the technical writing department, if my supervisor decided to leave the company or was promoted to another position.
When my supervisor left, it was just as they were planning a department reorg. The tech writing unit was dissolved and the three remaining writers disbursed among various business units. So much for my dreams. In someways, I wonder if the dissolution of the department was also a comment on management's perception of my supervisory skills. No one will say. I guess that speaks volumes. I am a lone writer now. But now I get to do all those things that were lacking when there was a tech writing unit -- develop style guides, research trends, write training materials, document complex systems. So, in a way, I didn't make out too bad.
