That depends on what you mean by "the work." If the work is the top secret ,world changing project it is currently viewed to be by the leadership, then treating ex-monastics as friends is tantamount to giving approval to treachery. As many comments in this site have explained, SRF is a culture of secrecy at present and there are delusions of grandeur involved -- no doubt these sprang from the Matas' deep feelings of responsibility to Master. But it has taken an unfortunate turn and monastics can be viewed as expendable, disappointing weaklings until they can prove themselves. During a nuns' Sunday service, one of Ma's close attendants quoted Ma as recently saying: "When will Divine Mother send the ones who can take it?!" This didn't cheer people up too much, as you can imagine. Sort of like the feeling people had after Mrinalini Ma's Xmas eve talk, when she made such a distinction between the "veterans" and the rest of the nuns.
