I think a lot of people agree with you. I know that they have a difficult time attracting software engineers and other technical positions. Even the LDS one's don't want anything to do with the job.
I worked in the MTC in Provo for nearly a year.. what a horrible depressing place - oddly when I was there they were paying just a bit more than average wage- I was told so they could leverage greater control over the staff..
God has the right to create and to destroy, to make like and to kill. He can delegate this authority if he wishes to. I know that can be scary. Deal with it. Nehor.. Nov 08, 2010

Somehow I had the impression that the wages might be similiar to similiar jobs in the non-church sector, but that the benefits... ie, insurance, retirement, PTO... sucked.

I sat next to one of the software drones who worked in the COB. He was arrogant, uneducated and strangely -ahem- cultish about his pet VB skills. I chatted him up about open source software and he didn't have a clue what I was talking about.

Simple solution, if you are uncomfortable with those rules, don't work for the Church. It's not as if they have a stranglehold on the jobs market
But why have the bishops squeal on them. If it is a condition of employment then why not have their boss ask them. Asking the bishop to report is asking the bishop to break confidence.

I agree 100% -- it's all very unseemly.
"Moving beyond apologist persuasion, LDS polemicists furiously (and often fraudulently) attack any non-traditional view of Mormonism. They don't mince words -- they mince the truth."
