My experience is this. The real QSI was bought out by a private equity company back in 2013. With an employee rention rate of something crazy like 90%...nobody left. The original owners were the most generous fun amazing people and treated their employees as equals. Giving us all the opportunity to be in control of our compensation. We were paid based off performance and generated revenues/profits. He valued his employees. The new CEO, came in with one goal, to trick lie and manipulate the senior employees in order to gain control and cut pay. As they were all uneducated and paid way too much. Even though at the time the bonus program was based off generated gross profit.
So you either got on his bus or you didn’t... those who didn’t, are no longer there. I guess you’d have to be able to stand up for what’s right in lieu of a paycheck. Which the paycheck was going to reduced significantly either. It didn’t matter if you were considered a “key employee” with 5-15 years with the company. It was a “cut off your nose in spite of your face” situation. The end goal is to sell the company again for a return on their investment. The company was performing so highly prior on all levels, “cutting” the bottom line, and buying other companies was the only way they were able to obtain “organic growth”.... sad story. This was such an amazing place for many years. It’s funny because when you read some of the current business articles it references the successes of the prior owner and his employees. Employee retention rate, net promoter etc. These numbers were based off QSI 1997-2013...
