			<title>Scientology Admin Tech vs. \&quot;Wog\&quot; Admin Tech</title>
			<link>https://mail.scientology-cult.com/cultural-differences.html#comment-776</link>
			<description><![CDATA[I've run a small business since I left, utilizing LRH Admin Tech, Marketing Tech, etc. I use it every day and it works great. I just wish C of S had used it more. We'd have a different world. Once DM is history, I would hope that something could be done to prevent such abuse. By the way, the thing that clinched it for me was walking to the org to a finance meeting on how to pay the rent. I had to walk down the main city street lined with beautiful buildings and successful businesses. Why, then, should we operate in a dump on which we find we can hardly pay the rent? I knew something was amiss and after years of hard work, recognized there was nothing I could do to change it. Plus, I was starving and had to save myself. As the song says: "He runs away to fight again." Thanks to both previous posters, although they are disagreeing they are at least communicating and this will lead to agreement and understanding. Keep it up everyone.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA["(R)uthless justice actions" is a generality. What "ruthless justice actions" exactly are you referring to? Here you just violated HCOB 'ARCX, Generalities Won't Do'. Also "innovation" in Scientology could also be called squirreling and a lot of so called "innovation" is basically reinventing the wheel. By the way Enron didn't just shovel money they were an energy innovator. They were supposed to make public utilities like power less expensive, yet ended up costing more. Trust me here in California I experienced their "innovative" approach first hand. Does the term "rolling black out" mean anything? Innovation is good when there's something to innovate. Otherwise it's overrated. If something ain't broken why "fix it"? A lot of innovation is just alter-is, like for example the "Golden Age of Tech". Innovation is one of those feel good buzz word sound bytes they offer to forward their mercantilist agenda. Like the "innovative" approach used by many businesses to get around paying their workers a living wage and benefits by moving all their manufacturing off shore to some country under a repressive regime, like for example China. A place that makes any "ruthless justice actions" occurring in a Scientology org seem like a slap on the wrist with a wet noodle. Not to mention the wholesale firing of employees here. At least in a Scientology Org if you are Staff Status II you have to have a comm ev first. In the so called innovative business world they can just fire your sorry ass. Yeah, yeah, sure, sure you are supposed to have "legal protection". Been there done that. Don't get me wrong I am not defending the current virally infected abomination that is called a "Church of Scientology" these days. But I'd say that Ron's policies are the wrong target. Oh by the way you were always free to resign in a Scientology org there is even policy on it. HCOPL 19 June 1958 Freeloaders Which begins: "Any staff may leave the staff at any time. ...." Maybe you should actually read the policies first before criticizing them.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[RJ, I have few illusions about the corporate world after 55 years of experience at every level of the organization chart and as an independent business owner. LRH policy and the ruthless justice actions he developed have never been particularly successful in translating into success in an open market. Prospering non-scientology organizations that actually make something (and not just shuffling money as in your examples) do best when they allow their best people to innovate and reward them handsomely when they succeed. There are some non-scientology business that display all of the internal cruelty and callousness of the CofS. Their business success generally follows the same trajectory as that of the CofS. The saving grace of working in the corporate world is that you are free to resign when you find you are working under insane conditions.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[OA, maybe I'm being hypercritical here but I don't fully agree with this panegyric of the business world. There are quite a few flaws you tend to overlook. Personally I have never been impressed with the corporate culture or more accurately corporatism, a form of fascism in fact that pervades America. That said the fact is Scientology is not a business. It is a religion. How this religion is administered is expressed in HCOBs and HCOPLs, that have served the organization quite well until idiot threw out the baby with the bath water. I agree that staff members should have life experience but there is more to life than say working for AIG or Enron. Maybe a datum of comparable magnitude would show some of these staff how lucky they are to have policy and not to abuse it. That the Ol'man took the time off from his research into R6 to write up an Org Board and locate the flaw that is currently killing off businesses and enterprises that don't have connections to the CIA, such as inspection before the fact which is something this infanticidal maniac mentioned earlier continually does.]]></description>
