Discussion from WtD Slack | |
Bear with me, documentarians. I’ve a big thought to share, and I want to use separate paragraphs/entries so that people can respond to points separately. (Vs. me just dumping five paragraphs into one Slack message.) | |
I’ve been troubled by several aspects of a seemingly prevalent _imposter syndrome_ among a lot of documentarians. Well, more among the technical writers among us documentarians. And although I considered posting to the #career-advice channel, (or the meetpus channel becasue this is the subject of an upcoming presentation), I chose the #watercooler for a bigger audience. | |
While I’m certainly not advocating that anyone exaggerate their knowledge or deliberately mislead others into thinking we’ve more abilities than we do, it seems that the catchy phrase _imposter syndrome_ contributes to too many people short-changing themselves in discussions with others. And, very importantly, it contributes to the lack of respect for tech writers that we all rightly complain about. | |
