Even in secular work people get severance pay and notice and time to transition smoothly if possible.

Perhaps there was some sort of severance or phase out to ease the transition, I'm not sure.
The shocking lesson for me was simple. The GLA LC's passed through their worse trial ever due to the lack of basic tolerance (ref Phil 4.5) and Christian liberty (ref. Rom. 14.4) on the part of Blended leadership in Anaheim, and then the Cleveland leaders turn around and apply the same (mis-) treatment and intolerance to their own people. This is what I have been saying for years -- that religious bullies only reproduce more religious bullies -- and the Recovery, at least when it comes to its leaders, is an abusive program reproducing bullies on every level.
During the 3-4 year era leading up to and after the actual Whistler quarantine, I heard from many directions how TC had really changed for the better and that the GLA LC's had, in general, improved and mostly had returned to our original standings as autonomous churches seeking the Lord, with the same basic liberties prescribed in the scripture. I doubted this, knowing what I know. The expulsion of Myer proved, not just to me, but to many others, what I had said all along, that there is no way the program can change for the better as long as all its leaders remain the same.
