Wow.

I have to say this has degenerated into one of the nastier mudfests I've read since the last election.

Adlai Stevenson said "He who slings mud loses ground"

Here's my view. If you don't want to work someplace, great. Don't. If you do, great. Learn all you can. Every situation is different, and hopefully you can learn from every situation.

Personally, when I worked in the field, I had various competitors that I didn't much care for. They are now out of the business. Natural selection works for the most part. I never said bad things about somebody, because it never improved my chances of getting a job, increasing my pay, or feeling better about myself.

I currently work in the industry in a different segment, and I do my best not to slag my competition.
I would urge all of you to do the same. Otherwise, we're just a bunch of whining children.
