What on earth?

the first 3 paragraphs are by a walrus writer PS1

Quote:
It is generally estimated to be costing SRF about $100,000 to $120,000 per month for peoplesoft. That is a lot of donations. They don't take in that much usually so the finances are going backward. Since they don't even use about 80% of the packages they bought for that system, it is just a dog gone shame.

I don't know what you tell your friends. What were they told originally? SRF doesn't have the money? I would suggest you tell everyone you know to step up their donations so SRF can pay for all this. Once the level of donations improves your (our) friends might get some raises.

Get your friends to tell you about the vast improvements in productivity and control. That should inspire everyone to give more.

This is not an exaggeration. And the facts are known, for many reasons. There are people who know the cost of this software. There are people who were involved in the contracts. There are people who know the consultants, and so know what they are paid. And so on and so forth.

Go ahead and ask any of the employees who now have to waste time feeding this monster with information. How about the people who have to *manually* calculate numbers to enter, because the program itself can't do it?

Because there is no accountability at any level, it goes on. Anyone who doesn't toady up to the leaders, and pretend the emperor's clothes are gorgeous, is dismissed. Monastics and employees and consultants. They only keep the consultants if they go along with their insanity.

This should be published and sent all over the world. Now *there's* something people can do to help. Someone get hold of the SRF mailing list and then tell the truth. Like dropping leaflets.

Re: Yes, WOWSER
This shouldn't go unmentioned in our letter to Bro Vishwananda, so I've included a few lines about it. The millions spent on lawsuits can perhaps be rationalized away by some people, but there can be no justification for wasting millions on an accounting and control system that is used by giant corporations largely for its ability to keep track of customers and suppliers. Unfortunately, empire building is a common pitfall for closed organizations. The mission overpowers the message.

No one was laid off due to money. Don't even believe it. With the economy doing so bad it provided the perfect cover, but don't fall for it. SRF would not spend 1/2 million dollars on new bathrooms for hollywood temple if it was out of money.

Walrus readers know that SRF is not run like a business so this massive financial waste is not a big surprise. The abusive environment is not much like a religion either. Think disfunctional rich family. Rich due to YOUR donations.
