If you write something and assign the copyright to your employer, you are
operating under the assumption that such an assumption is _necessary_ because
your employer's ownership of your work is less than complete. This might be
a consequence of your employment agreement, for example.

But if you have not negociated otherwise, assignment of your work to your
employer is meaningless because your employer already owns the work that
you do for hire. It was never yours to assign.
