Div 1
ETHICS
ETHICS PROTECTION
Ethics actions must parallel the purposes of Scientology and its
organizations.
Ethics exists primarily to get technology in. Tech can't work unless
Ethics is
already in. When tech goes out Ethics can (and is expected to) get it in.
For the
purpose of Scientology amongst others, is to apply Scientology. Therefore
when tech is
in, Ethics actions tend to be dropped. Ethics continues its actions until
tech is in and as
soon as it is, backs off and only acts if tech goes out again.
The purpose of the org is to get the show on the road and keep it going.
This
means production. Every division is a production unit. It makes or does
something that
can have a statistic to see if it goes up or down. Example: a typist gets
out 500 letters
in one week. That's a statistic. If the next week the same typist gets out
600 letters
that's an UP statistic. If the typist gets out 300 letters that's a DOWN
statistic. Every
post in an org can have a statistic. So does every portion of the org. The
purpose is to
keep production (statistics) up. This is the only thing that gives a good
income for the
staff member personally. When statistics go down or when things are so
organized you
can't get one for a post, the staff members' pay goes down as the org goes
down in its
overall production. The production of an organization is only the total of
its individual
staff members. When these have down statistics so does the org.
Ethics actions are often used to handle down individual statistics. A
person who is
not doing his job becomes an Ethics target.
Conversely, if a person is doing his job (and his statistic will show
that) Ethics is
considered to be in and the person is protected by Ethics.
As an example of the proper application of Ethics to the production of
an org, let
us say the Letter Registrar has a high statistic (gets out lots of
effective mail).
Somebody reports the Letter Registrar for rudeness, somebody else reports
the Letter
Registrar for irregular conduct with a student. Somebody else reports the
Letter
Registrar for leaving all the lights on. Proper Ethics Officer action =
look up the general
statistics of the Letter Registrar, and seeing that they average quite
high, file the
complaints with a yawn.
As the second example of Ethics application to the production of an org,
let us
say that a Course Supervisor has a low statistic (very few students moved
out of his
course, course number growing, hardly anyone graduating, a bad Academy
statistic).
Somebody reports this Course Supervisor for being late for work, somebody
else
reports him for no weekly Adcomm report and bang! Ethics looks up the
person, calls
for an Ethics Hearing with trimmings.
We are not in the business of being good boys and girls. We're in the
business of
going free and getting the org production roaring. Nothing else is of any
interest then
to Ethics but (a) getting tech in, getting it run and getting it run right
and (b) getting
production up and the org roaring along.
Therefore if a staff member is getting production up by having his own
statistic
