Keystrokes may be sold? - shortstak

Posted: Jul 29, 2011

Does anyone get the feeling that Keystrokes may be sold?

Why? Are there signs? - CuriousMT

I work there and did not even think of that. Am I missing something?

It just seems very weird. - shortstak

They just lost a huge account, but assured everyone that there was still plenty of work. But cannot get any information from the higher ups because the work as been slow with no explanation. People have been terminated, written up, etc. It just seems very tense.

My account is very busy, so the slow is not on every account. - CuriousMT

I know that a lot of accounts are busy, and that huge account was expected to go a while back. I was on it and am SOOOOOOO happy to be on my new account. The account I am on is even bigger than the one that was lost.

Write-ups and terminations happen all the time, not unusual.

I think you are worrying for no reason. Didn't they just acquire a few companies?

Are you on an acute care account? - shortstak

I just emailed you. nm - CuriousMT

thanks for taking the time to message me.

do you think the terminated, written up MTs are on high - end of pay scale? n/m

Terminations are along quality lines. - By what I have seen.

There is no need to carry low-quality MTs. Those that keep their quality up are keepers.

In the recent past Keystrokes bought other companies, so it would seem odd that they would be on the verge of being sold themselves.

On the other hand, if they were preparing to be sold, I wonder how they would explain the constant revolving door of employees and total chaos that is so prevalent. And this is just my opinion from personal experience.

I think most big services have a revolving door now. sm - TooTired

I have worked for all the big ones including MQ, Transcend, Webmedx, OSI, Spheris, Keystrokes and Focus. They are all basically the same in terms of pay and people coming and going. I am happy at Keystroeks and do not see chaos, but that's my experience and yours may be different. Personally, I saw more chaos at Webmedx, felt like an unwanted number at MQ and absolutely hated working for Transcend. I wish the old Your Office Genie was still around pre-MQ. Keystrokes is the closest I have come since YOG sold out.

Totally agree about Your Office Genie days. - sm

Your Office Genie was my first work at home job and I have to tell you I cried when Carole sold it. At first it wasn't so bad with MQ, but then..... If Keystrokes is anything like them I think I may have to think about applying with them. Handsigned Christmas cards, extra bonuses for whatever reason, sometimes frantic calls for extra work, but you felt so much like an integral part of the whole thing you didn't mind.

I know a lot of the old YOG staff is with FutureNet, but I don't think it is the same from what I hear. Have you tried them?

to the owners. Are they still involved, or when the MTs find out about the company being sold, are nowhere to be found for questioning. I would like to know how long the original owners are involved when they announce they sold the company, i.e., Encompass bough by Nuance. I have not heard a peep from the owner and wondered what the heck is going on. Dusting off the resume. ...

That was fast! http://www.imedx.com/news/trio-consulting-acquires-alpha-transcription-imedx I also found an interesting article on the legalities of small VA contractors winning contracts as a "small" business while combined with huge businesses... http://www.njit.edu/ptac/veterans It appears that Alpha is separating from huge, Indian-owned Imedx, so hopefully the complaints filed with the contract officers and DOL were starting to sink in. ...

Is that typical for when a company is sold? I had not heard of it before. When does Probity plan to go to speech recognition? I see they have an ad on another site. Do new employees applying at Probity get the subsidy as well? I wonder if it is worthwhile to apply and work for them for the life of the subsidy (6 months) and then quit. Anyone from Probity have any insight on this? ...

Read the job opening for Keystrokes and also talked with the recruiter. Can anybody here who works(ed) for and Keystrokes give real, hands-on experience for working for them? I've had many instances where how it really is isn't how the recruiter said it would be and don't want to get burned again. I'd really like to know the good and bad about the company upfront before I decide whether or not to accept the job. Please don't ...

and QA dings me for one. Unbelievable. That's what it averages for 1400 lines a day full-time. Even with 3 cups of coffee and an office chair seat belt, it's no easy feat. Ninety-thousand keystrokes PER DAY. That's not including the ADT, the Internet look-ups, etc. Throw me a bone here, QA. How many keystrokes to you do, PERFECTLY?? ...

How is it? The trainer says it is one of the easiest platforms to learn on if you've never done it. Said the threshold is set high at like 85% (not sure what that means) and it proves to be very lucrative for some. Anyone have any experience with it they could share? Not only am I new to Keystrokes, totally new to VR as well. Thanks in advance! ...
