That is, cannot a contractor be more distant, less affected, and so positive change is less of an issue? Hi Sean, It depends on the company. I've been lucky to work at a few where I did have a positive affect on the quality of documentation, and I've worked at too many where "you're just a writer." Unfortunately, I always get personally involved in all of my projects. I think part of that is because it's hard for a manager to stop managing.
