While what you say is definitely true in a lot of companies, not all are that way. I worked at one company that paid me a six-figure salary to work as a 100% telecommuter (the headquarters were 2.5 hours' drive from me, and I only went in 5 times in the 3 years I worked for them). The company definitely valued high-quality documentation, because the product was complicated enough that without it, nobody would be able to use it. (It was a non-GUI mainframe application.)
