Bethel Layoffs In Australia Confirmed

jonahstourguide

Hi All,

Yes, last week the number of Bethel Layoffs was confirmed from 90 to 125.

And those going in thinking they may be there for some time have been told

that they may be there for two months rather than 3 years depending on

operational requirements.

Regards

P.S. By the way as we understand it there were app. 350 folk there prior to the

layoffs.

Have a good evening Aussies

Jonah,, thx for update. That's a 26%-36% decrease. Dramatic.

On the 2014 service report, it shows 24,711 Bethelites worldwide. Many are hearing of 25% Bethelites getting dismissed (released - ha). That comes to about 6,178 Bethelites. Wow!

Its hard to say what sort of ripple effect this could have in the congregation they return to but i can certainly see this having a negative effect in bethel itself as friends watch each other being "reassigned to the field" and left wondering how precarious their own situation is...

Some that have been there for over 25 years have been "reassigned"!

They won't know what to do in the real world at their age...but no doubt expect to be taken care of by others in the local congs!

Frankly, given recent events, I'm kinda surprised it hasn't happened in Australia sooner.

Sounds like what some have suspected... That this is just the first phase of layoffs and more will be coming...

With that how can they say they are being bless by God?... they build their retirement home by free labor & now they layoff workers worldwide? Where's the blessings in that? Wonder how would elders respond when asked. ...

This guy talks about getting layed off in Bethel. Are they usually this rude and nasty about it???

@cognac- that is EXACTLY how they do it. And thats if your leaving on good terms. One of my friends was sent home on not so good terms.... He was escorted to his to room and allowed to pack a carry on bag. He was escorted out of the building and handed a bus ticket home. The rest of his poesrions were packed and sent later.
