Genesys Works and abortion

I had the privilege of working for Genesys Works this summer. Their program is quite good at taking high school seniors from failing schools and teaching them to be successful in corporate America. I also learned much from their program as I prepared for and taught their young professionals. We filled their days with fours hours of fun, learning, and practical development for the work place.

Unfortunately, there were full-time individuals who lost their initial vision and began a series of lies, condescension, and manipulations which undermined these efforts very quickly. They lost two IT instructors and several other instructors in Houston alone because of this. Through some very serious lies and the inability to communicate and resolve issues with both students and instructors, they suffered great losses very quickly through their summer program. Their first lie of the summer which I noticed was their claim that this was the first summer that the staffing agency Robert Half was used, a claim which RHT disputes. I still don't understand why they would lie about this. They continued the lies by asserting that the first IT instructor that they released actually left them without notice for another opportunity; he was in fact fired with less than a days notice. They lie to IT instructors about the reasons for releasing them from the contract, which reasons RHT also disputes. They lied about coming to an agreement with Robert Half that extra hours on their family night week had to be "smoothed over" into the next week to avoid paying over-time pay; Robert Half denies any knowledge of such an arrangement. I never got paid for those 6 hours and they are not sure if they are going to pay me for the time worked, which they required of me. They lied about awarding a contract completion bonus, because they are denying their contractors that bonus by releasing them early. Unfortunately, where there are many apparently lies, there are so many more hidden lies.

They advocate abortion very actively.  I did not agree to support them in advocating abortion, but they required it of me, and I of course refused.  I had told them repeatedly that if they turned the question to me that I would advocate the seriousness of the decision, the value of life, and the need to assume responsibility.  That is exactly what I did when they turned to me to sustain their pro-abortion recommendation to a student.  While they would cite other reasons, this was the actual reason they fired me.

I love many aspects of Genesys Works, and therefore hope they learn from these lessons, and quickly remove such unprofessional practices from their organization. This organization offers excellent opportunities for young people at the cost of pushing Progressivism, abortion. I wish them the best success in overcoming these challenges. God bless the human race. We certainly need it.
