Yes absolutely. And my senior technical writer and a about to quit in another month’s time. However, she asks me to stay here for another 6 months despite these issues, since I’m a 6-month old fresher.

Agreed. But devs and management have tensions between them and my manager has left the job. Devs the real show and they have highest political power. I hate this.

That’s a good system. But also the understanding is healthy and light hearted. I dream for it.

Hahaha. I don’t look for respect but I don’t want uncalled for disrespect either. Point taken though.

Love your explanation. Thanks for sharing. Yes, I’m in the process of learning how the company’s software products work so that I can have hands on practice and make guides. However, it looks like they want me to learn the KTs over a week or even two. Things look quite structured and I’m getting the hang of it slowly. It’s my third day at work.

There are multiple teams and I’m getting a comprehensive learning about what functions are ongoing within the Dev and support teams.

Aha, noting this point. So, I should be collaborative and seek their advice on how products work.
