A document in the workplace

In order to capture the "moment of continuous process of communication" in one document, a professional writer needs to know how to be able to write from a social perspective. In order to do this effectively, the writer should know how to "view written texts as communicative chains." This means to fully understand the relationships between the different positions of people on a job with the written work they perform and how to portray this information all to the same audience. Using the bank supervisor example from Faigley's text, a writer needs to understand the bank supervisor's job, the tasks of his staff, and how communications within the two are understood. With understanding all that is involved in a work environment, including the jobs, tasks and assignments required of each individual, the writer should be able to record a document that is eligible and understandable to anyone that needs to know this information.
