  1000 were asked to leave Brooklyn Bethel (actually, this includes the Farm and Patterson) "voluntarily!" Only 6 replied to the request in the last 3 weeks. It looks like the "waters" of Bethel are drying up, or rather, their revenues are drying up! Anyway, another request has gone out. It is rumored that Bethel needs a 33% "haircut!"

  They should lay off the old buzzards and let them try to survive in the real world.

  Thanks for that info Cyberguy! It's been talked about on this board recently, so I guess the downsizing has come about.

  oK. So now the question is......

  What are the severance packages like? Will they have 2 weeks worth of free magazines? What about medical/insurance....can they go back to the Bethel infirmary thru the end of the month if they get sick? Will the upper management get books instead of magazines? since they're upper management?

  Man, I'll be all the publishing houses in NY are going to be inundated with applicants. Not to mention all the hotels (with a sudden influx of housekeeping candidates!) lol!

  Yeah what is a fellow to do with only a high school education?? If they 

  end up strapped without money, I am sure the WT won't bail them out. 

  I guess the WT is saving money for all the lawsuites that will be coming 

  in.
