Several on here have remarked upon stumbling across salary levels for the upper positions in the Way at HQ, and how dramatically different say a President's Cabinet member's salary is from say a Department coordinator only. Most positions at the Way are minimum wage level from reports. People live in trailers or a mobile home park or a dorm. Anyone with any money (family / previous career) lives in town. Several changes were forced with the lawsuits. Hours changed then at the Way going from an indefinite expectation to 40 hrs a week plus a limited amount of a volunteer time. This was forced by legal exposure. In the last 10 years reports I've seen are consistent with a lot of open positions at HQ, needing to do advertising in fellowships about it, then plenty of stories of people trying to go there and fill the positions and failing, either due to the culture there, or just not being able to take it being in that environment for very long. There are consistent needs, not enough consistent applicants, and a high number of people failing even of those who do apply and take the jobs. No, do not entertain any expectations of the Way taking care of you in the future due to thankfulness for your service. No, their attitude is the Way owes you nothing but you owe the Way everything because the "greatness of the Word" they taught you saved your life. They suck.

Being on staff is the prime location to be under the thumb of micromanagers. That would also be an area where it would be telling to publish numbers on the average duration of a staff assignment. From most recent information, there is not much longevity in those positions even though there aren't enough people to apply for them. This reeks of a culture where people bite and devour one another, as predicted in scripture.
