Attention: This is Not a Test

Thursday, August 7th, 2008

So, it has been decided that K&K will have a blog.

And I am supposed to write the 1st entry. Well, let’s start with an introduction. The name is Karla, I am officially the CEO, and effectively in charge of human resources, financials, administrative decisions, as well as all things that might go wrong or are kind of dicey, like writing the first entry on a blog.

We will have 2 other people posting for now, which are Dieter, aka “The Dieter”, the boss man, president and creative head of K&K, and Christy who is in charge of customer tech service and artist relations as well as roams the net and forums to see if she can help out with questions about our products.

So, they will write about interesting product developments, enlightening you about new uses of K&K stuff, and everything K&K, amplification of acoustic instruments that I personally don’t know as much about as they do. :(

What I am supposed to write about are the “soft” issues.

I will introduce our employees so you’ll know who you’re dealing with on the phones, as well who has had his/her hands on the products you might have or intend to acquire.

Maybe a little walk down memory lane sometimes.

Or presenting one of the office cats.

Right now, everybody is very excited about the upcoming bonus payment. Our business year ends on 8/31, and by the end of July, I normally decide with the help of our CPA, how high the employee bonus will be. Our system is very fair and I’m pretty sure it’s one of the reasons people stay and stay and stay with K&K. It is calculated using the hours EVER worked for the company, so the longer you work here, the higher the bonus will be. Some get several thousand $$. And it’s a good thing. As far as I can remember, the IRS has yet to send me Thank-you notes. Our employees are loyal and contribute immensely to the success of the company, so it makes much more sense to share the profit with them, and not Uncle Sam. And happy employees make great products.
