I think documentation has to be tied to performance evaluation/salary, or at least not hinder your performance. I worked at a large, well-known software company. There were very few comments documenting the code. Aside from the auto-generated comments based on function declarations, there wasn't much (any?) documentation. I figured a big reason for this was people were paid/rewarded based on the number of bugs that they fixed, not on how much documentation was produced or other people helped.
