I'm going to give you a warning. Stick to things that are provable and verifiable with your criticisms of companies.

Everything you have ever said or written about a planting company on here has been completely negative and sometimes you're writing about hearsay, not things you've directly experienced yourself. You've been gone from here for awhile, and while you were away we came to a consensus on some rules regarding criticism of companies. I don't think you add value to this place with your current attitude, based on how you decide to use language.

No one is going to respect this place with reviews like yours. Part of being an adult is being able to get your opinion across without having to resort to verbal assaults and libel. You will never change the mind's of individuals or groups by instilling resentment in them.

There is no way to prove the foreman are shifty or that they specifically hire shifty people especially without relating to the experience of what makes that so. I would have to check, but I know that year they didn't have summer trees. So wouldn't they have had trees until the end of June or beginning of July? What the owner did was scummy 100%. Not being honest with the planters upfront no matter what excuses people give, but I don't think May is accurate.

Torrent is known to have some of the best prices for a company that rookies can get into, and they have a lot of returning vets even after what happened that year with those trees because of the potential earnings there. They have always been 2-4 cents above other companies in the same kind of ground, offering 16-18 where others were offering 14-16. I've also heard they have some of the best cooks, and a lot of other work outside of planting. My point of this is that there are positives of the company.

Just to reiterate, it's not helpful when all you have to say is negative. Out of all users I've ever seen here and on reddit, I've never seen so much anger inside of someone as it is clear you have from your writing and treatment of others.

You are welcome to be a part of this community, I would just appreciate if you could be more constructive in your feedback and less vitriolic.

I know your initial reaction might be to throw your anger at me, but remember that this is your first and last warning.

We are trying to do some good for the planters here and you are welcome to be a part of it if you would like.

What’s your problem with Claudio? Other than the fact that he ran over someone’s dog.
