Well, it appears that I have a new assignment/role in our company. The GM likes the way I write disciplinary notices for naughty employees, so he's taken lately to calling me in to the discussions, and having me write the results for his signature. I don't mind, but I wonder if I should be asking for hazardous duty pay?

He probably can, but like most engineers, he has trouble with expressing himself in subtle tones, and the "just-the-facts" method is rarely effective in performance reviews. I'm a bit more flexible than most technocrats in my writing.

Well, your boss signs the notice. Does anyone else know that you write them?
