more appropriate.  As for enlightening us, what did she share other than they are nice and organized?  Woohoo ... that won't butter my bread.  Nothing about pay, which they are appaerntly is so pathetically low, they are  too embarrassed to admit to on here.

No thanks.  As the saying goes, I just got rid of my cow, so I don't need your bull.

from someone asking if was me posting here tonight, so I came to look.   I agree with a lot that the poster has to say but I post my name when I post.  Anyone who knows me or of me knows this.  I do not have to post behind anonymous names nor do I. 

I do disagree with some of what this poster says though and will take a moment to tell her/him something:  You chose to run a service and knew or should have known what you were getting into.  If you are doing all that, you should either hire more people or hire different people.  The best move I ever made as a service owner was learning to delegate and hiring the right people including Human Resources, Accounting, Operations, QA, Recruiting and IS.  (The second best move I ever made was to stop letting the posts on the MTStars and others affect me).  Best advice I could give a service owner is to cough up the money for a good staff; it is worth it in the long wrong although hard in the short term.

While not everyone agrees with me or likes me or wants to work with Keystrokes, I do not feel a need to hide behind the anonymous nature of these boards and would rather have people know where I stand than wonder.

You would also know that I value our transcriptionists and know that as a company, Keystrokes constantly tries to improve.  If you know me at all or anything about Keystrokes, you would also know that our rates are going up not down and we do not undercut prices to beat our competitors. 

If anyone has anything to say to me directly, please use my email.  I do not visit here often anymore and do not plan on starting again as it gets a bit addicting :)

They all ended up with companies that are where Diskriter was 3 years ago, going through a complete management revamp and all only offered IC status at a lower rate than I am making employee status with DR, all of them required the same scheduling, although I think Diskriter is pretty darned flexible, never been told no or had a problem if I needed to switch days, leave early, etc.  All of these past employees who were at DR are now at other companies.  One of them got DR into the huge mess they were in to begin with .  They have all said they'll hire me any day, no interview, no questions asked, but what they have offered preliminarily without my application was worse than where I'm at for line rates now.  If you search the archives on the companies their with now, the responses from MTs there will say nothing better or worse than you see with DR, it is all a matter of OPINION again and to each his own. 

If you are an MT looking into DR, go with your gut, if you feel like they might be right for you -forget the pre-employment requirements and background checks as an excuse to not apply, that is a pretty silly reason not to apply or accept a job, only desperate companies hire just by looking at a resume and not doing any background or physicals.  DR is not a desperate company - we are all very qualified MTs who pick up the slack when needed until we get new people that are just as qualified.

I guess they have plenty of time and money to waste.  Makes you wonder if they had someone there with an axe to grind against you.  It's possible that person saw your name and decided to use a loophole to not hire you, but its still a rotten thing to do anytime, much less during the holiday season.

Good luck and hopefully other companies will treat you fairly.

I contacted K&R to ask them to verify the security officer's name.  I haven't heard anything.  The other very weird thing is that their website does NOT have their address unless I missed it.  I had to Google the company and get the address that way.

It's just a weird set up.  I think I may back out as well.

I have been waiting and waiting and they have my contract and all the paperwork and they are nowhere to be found.  Anyone else have this experience?

by Lee Pefect after passing test since recent ad?

Thanks so much!

That tells you how much our so-called govenrment of the people, for the people is working nowadays. Lately, the slogan is Of the rich, for the rich, and to heck with the middle class....take their money and run before they get wise.

They don't give %$%#@% about us. All they care about is how much money they're getting from big business and the rich.

You will get an email that says congratulations you passed, so on and so forth

on the job boards.  I took the written test and aced it and they sent me the voice files to transcribe.   The voice files were of poor quality I decided not to do the testing.   I was contacted after the written test and told to contact them again after the transcription part. I never contacted them and they never contacted me again.  The woman I dealt with was a bit ditsy.

We did not get into any of the details such as pay, so I'm not any help there. 

owner and conducted negotiations in a professional manner so the matter could be resolved.
