Sour grapes - ruin the whine

I think it's smart of people who come here looking for a recommendation on a company to realize that the vast majority of posts that you read here are people who are no longer with a particular company, who continually blast them, who jump in always to make sure to say  how bad their experience was.  And maybe it was.  But I think these people are very much in the minority and not at all to be considered as majority. 

Every company has something someone is not going to like.  But for an MT whose skills may not be what they think they are or who doesn't think rules apply to them (it's so easy to read between the lines of a lot of this company bashing), or the MT who refuses to come into 2013 - I think their complaints need to be taken with a grain of salt. 

Several months ago, I came here asking for feedback on SoftScript.  I didn't hear anything positive.  Nothing.  And of course you don't know if you have one person complaining 10 times or if there are 10 people complaining.  I decided to ignore the feedback and go with my gut.  I'm so glad I did.  No, they don't have 100% easy work but they have work.  They have decent work.  They pay decent. 

I've done this a very long time and can tell you, there are people here who are going to complain because that is what they do best.  They aren't happy at any company because they simply cannot be.  That's not the fault of the company.

For anyone looking for a "good" company, you have to make this call on your own.  Unless someone is telling you a company doesn't pay, then don't let the horror stories stop you from choosing a company and finding out for yourself.

Remember that that it's very, very rare for happy people to be posting here.  They're too busy doing their jobs and living their lives so what you have left are the sour grapes.
