Whaleguppy-

That's probably the best post I've ever read summing up the situation at Atlas.

I left there in under a year for the exact same reasons.

I heard and read the exact same things before I went there, but I said to myself "Some of that has to be guys just b!tching, it can't be that bad." (not the sharpest tool in the shed)

It IS that bad...if you can't live that kind of lifestyle, look somewhere else.
