Hypothetical - if an account dries up at Diskriter... - anon4


Posted: May 03, 2011

would one hopefully be placed on another account/accounts or just plain let go?  Insight and discussion with a current or former Diskriter employee would be appreciated. 

Another question - Alice

I don't know the answer to your question, but do you already work there and have this concern? It seems to me if you are laid off due to no fault of your own, then you would be eligible at least to apply for unemployment benefits. For this reason, I would think it would be in the company's best interest to find you another account.

Not so concerned right now, just wondering... - anon4

I agree with your summation and hope you're correct that we'd be worked into other accounts. Was hoping a current/former Diskriter employee could give some insight about this. The unemployment thing is not something I'd seek out unless I absolutely had to, though.

Wet To Drys Or Wet To Dries?
Apr 12, 2011

I have a dictator that always says the phrase "wet to drys" at the end of his op reports.   Yes, it is always a plural sound.  "Wet to drys" just does not look right to me, but neither does "wet to dries."  I would appreciate it very much if some of you fellow MTs would weigh in on how you think this phrase should be  written.  Thank you very much in advance. ...

To be honest, I don't really like this line of work at all, my motivations are being here are strictly financial. Your company is just a stepping stone, a crutch, until I can find something that can get me out of this dying industry. Has management ...

Stay Away From Diskriter!
Sep 11, 2012

Stay away from Diskriter who has an ad on the Job Seeker's Board. I worked for them and it was THE worst experience of my life. It is a very big hospital they are referring to with lots and lots of facilities associated with it and lots and lots of account specifics. You need to have a certified degree as a rocket scientist to work for them. They chastise you and make you feel worthless. The QA will knock you down, and then you have to waste YOUR time to prove them wrong, which they always ...
