Is this still going on?
From a staff member:
"The attrition rate of counselors and students was so bad that Len instituted a bonus system based on how many students you retained in your PG. If you had a 100% retention rate you would get a bonus of 25% of your salary. (If) it went down to 50% retention that equaled something like at 7% bonus... Obviously this is a big ethical problem."
So, counselors were given financial incentives to keep their kids enrolled by any means necessary.
I have a strong suspicion that this is going to be a very big deal in the lawsuit.
Using a conflict of interest to increase the bottom line. What in hell were these people thinking? This is going to bite you, big time. This is such a clear violation of ethics and patient rights that I'm having a difficult time putting it into words.
Troll Control:
AFAIK it is, yes.

Any word on when the judge is going to make a ruling?
Troll Control:
Not yet. I assume it won't be long. The case law is not very complicated, so I think most of the deliberation will be about the supporting documents/evidence submitted.

Hopefully this week. The Judge seemed to pride himself on being a one-man lobby for private enterprise though, stating " I haven't certified a class since 1974. They call me the chicken judge!" :roll:
One more reason to avoid lifetime appointments of these people...
I did hear that HLA (Len) filed papers with the court Friday stating that if the class were to be certified, the facility would close on March 1.
So, for all you employees, your job is riding on a coin flip, even though he keeps telling you it's "business as usual."
