Now from Theo's reply in #42, he notes from being a Focus on the Family employee:
"Outsourcing certain functions makes sense for FOF, as addressed in the previous the FOF Outsourcing Philosophy. The basic reasons are to provide the best possible service to Focus constituents, while honoring our stewardship responsibilities.
Two of the vendors who can handle our business transactions at a significant cost savings are Patni and First National Bank of Omaha (FNBO).
... "First National Bank of Omaha has been a banking partner with FOF for over 10 years. We decided to outsource to FNBO since they could more efficiently integrate simple transaction processing, imaging, and coding into our existing banking system. In the process, we were also able to eliminate the problem of a production bottleneck and avoid additional captial expenditures for equipment. Although this shift of production eliminated jobs within the FOF Colorado Springs operation, customer service was improved, costs were reduced, and FOF staff were able to maintain their focus on the ministry needs of our constituents."
I think I was the one who said cost savings in some shape or form was really the reason behind this. There was no mention in the press release of the cost savings or the jobs lost.
There are several FOTF memos relating to Wells Fargo and the First National Bank of Omaha. Other internal memos do point out how Wells Fargo is simply an organization we don't want to deal with because of their radical homosexual agenda.
Cost savings is not "really the reason behind this" as you put it. There are a number of factors, but the primary reason for severing from Wells Fargo is indeed that organization's immoral stances. We just don't want to be part of such a messed up banking institution, and we can take our finances elsewhere.
No need to be so suspicious of FOTF's motives. :-)
It appears people are not swayed by your attempted disparaging of FOF's motives -give it a rest already or some may think you are simply a homosexual activist.
If we are to deal in absolutes, what are you doing on FR?
There are a lot of posters here who don't even come close to toeing the conservative line, many who don't come close to toeing the true 'religous line' (quotes because I'm not sure the best way to word that) etc.
BTW, my quess is that FOTF has an annual cash flow of several hundred million or more.
