Moonlighting may be frowned upon now, it wasn't in the 70's and 80's.
Back when I was on staff, I worked my regular job in the day, then staff nights and weekends. Finally got burned out after a while.
I get the impression that they currently discourage having married couples where one works and the other is on staff, which seems one of the only ways to survive long term.
From a more recent out, that is myself, per Hubbard HCO PL's Moonlighting, or policy, yes one can moonlight. But there are problems with this policy letter.
One has to work a 8 hour shift, and then one is entitled to staff enhancement which is either course time for 2 1/2 hours or auditing for 2 1/2 hours to move up the bridge, provided one has his/her stats up, one can get auditing to do this so called Bridge to Total Freedom.
OK, here's the problem. You work 8 hours, let's say 9-5. Now if your stats are up and say you are fully hatted for your post, why you are now entitled to staff enhancement time. So 5 o clock comes around, and you eat dinner for an hour, now you get 2 1/2 hours of staff enhancement, either course time or auditing. Course time being learning the secrets of LRH, auditing time being getting more "clear" or "OT".
OK, sounds good, from a ideal scene mocked up by Hubbard. What a great plan to "clear" the planet.
Opps.
Per LRH Policy, you are actually in the Org from 9 to 10 at night.
Opps, there is no time for Moonlighting.
Hubbard's solution was to create a day and night foundation. That solves the problem you might say. Thus day staff workers could indeed get jobs for the weekend to pay the the bills. Foundation staff members the same.
In my experience from the time period of 1984 to 2012, the only way a long term staff member survived was because they were married and the other partner made enough bucks for the other partner to be on staff. Also, if kids from scientologists were on staff, it was only because the parents supported them for money to be on staff.
But, what is the glue that keeps this thing going?
Why it's the premise one can go "clear" and then "OT"
