Mark Twain complained about this long ago. As a previous commenter said: it's not so much that people are not able to write now, it's that they can publish their bad writing. We have metrics in schools to track how well our kids can write. We can blog about how poorly our co-workers write. It's more visible than it ever has been. At the end of the day, every communication with your employer is an opportunity. If you can't communicate well, you will be less likely to get what you want out of those interactions. On the other hand, if you're able to write well and communicate clearly, you're going to get what you want far more often.
