As someone whose full time job is to write software for a company: No it isn't.
They pay me to do a job, the job is writing software for them, it is a work for hire.
Why would they pay me to produce something that I then own? If I wanted that, I should be an independent developer, and finance my own software development.
If they were paying me to write manuals for the software, would I expect to own the copyright in the manual text? Of course not.
