well, to me, Japan is NOT a ........SM

If I had my druthers - or had to choose one - I'd choose Japan (as IF we'd ever get a choice *lol*) - because they are not communistic (I don't think) and China is..........China scares me. Japan does not.....

Either China or Japan - right now, we are actually
money from them EVERY DAY to pay for the war in Iraq. So, when it's all over and the fat lady sings - she'll probably be singing in Chinese or Japanese, because at that rate, they WILL own us.

No, it's not according to profits - not from what I read.

How do you know that the owners are enjoying the profits?
If she or he is, great. That's the reason you go into business. Personally, I would not want the stress or the responsibility. With this economy getting worse, business owners are taking on the stress. They can keep it.

Not sure if they do, but their software hdqrts are in Japan, China, India & Mongolia, found on

I am happy for you in this day and age when companies want all the profits themselves, thanks Keystr

And who cares if the owners are enjoying the profits???
It's their business anyway! Are you saying if you owned your own business you wouldn't enjoy the profits WHO WOULDN'T. Please. Keystrokes is a super company and the CEO, managers, co-workers, everyone is awesome!

I doubt any business will succeed that bases its profits on screwing their long-term employees. sm

You are not the only one who has worked hard for the company, but it doesn't matter if I like the people or not -- I have to make a living. Your callous disregard for that fact (along with theirs), calling it something like an oversight or human error is a slap in the face to those of us who struggle alone to support a family on a measly 30-40 minutes of dictation a day, coupled with the fact that we were out and out lied to about the shortage of work. How can there be mutual respect in a situation like that?

I am glad you support and care for them, and I hope they never leave you high and dry like they have done the rest of us. I, for one, am done. I don't need the lovey-dovey family talk when it is all a pack of lies. That kind of family I do not need.
