You do not need a process to write documentation. You do not need permission. Start writing things down as informally as possible. A company wiki is good, or in word documents that you put in the shared drive. When someone complains that the documents are not standardized, you give them the work of standardizing.
You can choose to not write down what the gatekeeper told you, but why would you choose that?
- HarryHirsch 3y agoThe question is: why didn't the previous person document stuff and hand it to the next person, after all you need proper documentation for institutional continuity? The answer is as always: a messed-up workplace, people wanting to make themselves indispensable or important, and as the new guy you are not going to change that. (Me? I've actually been looked at funny and then written up for asking the gatekeeper's bestie about processes!) Man, that place of employment was messed up.
