GetOffMyBack, you will find that not every (and indeed not most of the) GA companies feel the need to screw over their employees. I think it only fitting that ones who do be named as doing as such in this day and age.
However I would venture that by "paying for playing" in the way that is being portrayed in the posts above (if indeed that is what is happening), then one reaps what one sows.... Think about that for a while before getting back to me with some hot-headed reply.
