Should be worried......

In november I was raised in response to not leaving, given "counter-offer" a some of 20% more wages,, in this morning, was told start 2015 I started "Documentation role" "As we are working to transition you to a documentation role starting in 2015, please start today working with colleagues to perform a proper hand-over of your remaining projects" IS this sound for worrying?

How much of a notice did you give when you initially threatened to leave? I ask this because with a very short notice perhaps the company gave you a raise so they could keep you around long enough for an orderly transfer of your projects. Go ahead and take the job with apparent unenlightened joy and immediately begin looking for new work. I doubt they gave you 20% because they thought you'd be good at documentation. The grain of salt with which you should balance my advice is how the company has treated people in the past. Is it the kind of company that has rolled people before or would that be very unusual? Is there a new management initiated push for documentation within the company? Does the whole documentation thing sound like nonsense? Do they typically hang onto the same employees for a very long time? Did your 20% put you in the top 25% wage wise among developers or was the 20% raise given on a shamefully low initial wage thereby simply making you par with the other employees?

That's good! You may learn how to write correctly punctuated and phrased sentences...
Skipper: We'll fix it. Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this? Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

The Real Answer In business a shoe drops and all the little people try to figure out when the boss will drop the other shoe. They scurry around and wonder, "oh, bother, mightn't I be the one to catch the next shoe...mightn't I?" Scurry, scurry, scurry. The other shoe never drops. What!?! ***interrobang deployed*** Meanwhile, old Pointy-Hair hasn't even noticed he dropped his first shoe and is busy scratching himself, not even knowing there is another shoe. CONCLUSIVE CONCLUSION DEVOID OF CONTUSIONS They ain't got no plan and the plan they don't got ain't even formulated out of the very air of a verbal contract which ain't as good as the paper it ain't printed on. Or more simply: The people in charge are just sitting in chairs staring at nothing, deciding nothing and thinking nothing. They hasn't one idea between them all. Your are thinking something, but they are not. :D It is impossible to decipher the non-existent. Beatles Theory Or as the Beatles so righteously put it: Nowhere Man He's a real nowhere man Sitting in his nowhere land Making all his nowhere plans for nobody Doesn't have a point of view Knows not where he's going to Isn't he a bit like you and me? Nowhere man please listen You don't know what you're missing Nowhere man, The world is at your command He's as blind as he can be Just sees what he wants to see Nowhere man, can you see me at all Nowhere man don't worry Take your time, don't hurry Leave it all till somebody else Lends you a hand Ah, la, la, la, la Christmas Carol (Dickens) Theory Here's what happens when an idea actually hits a manager's head. S/he thinks: "You [idea] may be an undigested bit of beef, a blot of mustard, a crumb of cheese, a fragment of an underdone potato. There's more of gravy than of grave [idea] about you, whatever you are!"

Yeah, but you'd think they'd put him in QA or something, not documentation! :-)

you doing documentation scares the pants off me. You getting a counter offer for 20% more from current employer and not getting anything in writing should scare the pants off you. True story, co-worker many moons ago same thing. Offer 25% to stay. Brought on 'Intern' as a helper for him as well. Intern was soon promoted and 25% guy was making 125% less suddenly. It happens. Always get things in writing.

If the documentation is in English, then yes, I'm a bit bloody worried.

I don't know. It would explain a lot of documentation that I've seen, It could also explain why nobody ever reads documentation?

Is the documentation to be written in English, for English readers? Given the sample provided here, I don't think that it is those skills that are driving the change. They're removing everything from your control, that may have made you indispensable. It doesn't mean they'll definitely toss you out, it means that they very easily can, and probably will. Or they'll forget all about how you held them for ransom, and keep paying a documentation writer well above market salary.
