Odd statements.

If you already were past the application stage then hopefully you already had an idea about what working at DRC would be like.
All of the posts yesterday confirmed that Acusis had bought DRC, so that comment about validating it made no sense to me.
Finally, maybe it's just me, but I've always considered accepting a job based on my interaction with the recruiter and/or employer and not the unknown/unnamed MTs of said company that I have absolutely no knowledge or interaction with. (Unless DRC's recruiter is now offering up current employee reference calls for your pleasure.)
Good luck at your second choice. I am staying with DRC/Acusis and I frankly could care less which MTs decide not to.

statements
If you don't work for them and never have, how do you know these statements are untrue?
Please don't make such statements
I don't work for this company, never have. Yet it seems that people are always saying things that are not true about this company and causing a HUGE stink on this board. I can imagine that this has to be painful for the owner, as I have seen her posts in the past. Please don't do this.
These conflicting statements may be due to their
hiring seasoned MTs. The person interested would need to ask them directly.
False statements
Amen to that.
Besides stating that your DD is not there, when it is NOT there is not exactly a false statemtn. TT112 needs to get a life
I agree 100% with your statements! nm

Why are you making statements on a company YOU don't know about?
That's how hearsay and rumor gets fed.
If you don't know then guess what -- YOU DON'T KNOW!
No, you are not chained to your desk. If I am going to be gone 20 min or more, I need to clock out. No one has ever checked up on me or questioned my time. Ever.
Proof of statements made
Can this be backed up by some proof? There are a lot of good companies out there and great MTs. It would be a shame if you prevented them from an awesome partnership from these statements that may or may not be true.
I am QUALIFIED to make my statements because....
I worked with these people for years and saw how they treat others. It means absolutely nothing to people in the managment of SPI to fire people or lay them off or just take your work and send it to India or Manila. Don't think for one second that your job is safe. They are all about numbers...Its a numbers game...meaning revenues.
The Philippine Telecommunication company did not get to be a company worth over $100 billion US dollars by paying labor to US employees. They know that by taking US jobs and sending them to India or Manila will increase their profit margins 25-35% minimally. Don't think for one second they will not do this.
The Indian companies are much better than they were. The Manila location has finally gotten it right. They will be able to transition your jobs smoothly without compromising quality or TAT. THAT'S FRIGHTENING TO SAY BUT TRUE!
They have also geared themselves with the strongest voice recognition product on the market.
So, let's take a look at the overall picture:
1. People resources available offshore. YES...thousands.
2. Ability to transition and carry out smoothly.....YES
3. Voice recognition geared to take over.....YES
4. Qualified editors in Manila........YES
5. Production MTs in India......YES
6. Large hospital organizations not afraid to offshore......YES
I dont know guys....what else does it take to paint the picture for you. You are all smart people....figure it out!
May I ask why you were not happy? Vague statements don't help very much. sm
If you don't feel comfortable posting here, please feel free to email your response.
Slander is when there are false statements. .

I wanted to speak to some of your statements
When you say people keep things to themselves, there is basically nothing to keep. We were told when we first started to use the mouse (believe it or not but prior to VR I had never used a mouse!). I got used to that and then when outsourced was told to use the so called hot keys. I am now 66, taught myself to type around age 11 or 12 and I did not want to retrain to use keys when I thought possibly could just slow me down so I do not use the hot keys. My company said people could get more lines using them. I cannot get any more lines than the audio will let me go and I have that to fast forward most of the time so the hot keys are of no use as far as I am concerned. There is absolutely nothing more that I do. I read fast, correct mistakes, spell check and never read back over a report. If you call that any tips or tricks, well then there they are but basically the same I have done for straight typing all these many years. Oh, as far as the preferential treatment, oh, lordy I wish I could get that, especially on Saturdays when it seems like all the ESLs in the world are dictating on my end. We are not allowed to cherry pick nor X out work that we might not like to do. Ours is first in, first out.
Very nice post - all true statements! - nm

So far as I know making false statements is illegal
See possible answer post..............now I'm going to work so I will have a paycheck to be deposited.
If illegal to make false statements, everyone would

It's called a troll. Statements without backup. sm
There is a lot of work out there with Keystrokes and others. MQ is losing accounts, and the other MTSOs are getting them. I am sure that they want to see quality and limit volume the first few days. I would if it were my company.
