This can be even worse in places with lot's red tape where so one puts something in with little or no docs on it to get the job done.
Hire a hacker to document your undocumented projects!
Seriously, I see this all the time: an outsider is tasked with documenting a project, several years after the fact. Not a job any self-respecting 'hacker' (=highly skilled developer?) would be interested in, but of course the whole story begs the question: why would a highly skilled developer want to join your company in the first place? Are all the other employees dolts? Weren't all the problems caused by clueless PHBs?
Signs point to yes.
