Afaik RedHat pays their documentation engineers and QA engineers very well, since they consider those roles to be essential to the product from the customer's expectations. It's a perspective rarely shared by other companies though.

This is not the worst case scenario. Some places will sensationally hire QA/Writers, hailing their importance, and lay them off at the first sign of cost cutting.
