working on a grant for a year and a half that is supposed to be for poor people and being told they arent going to approve it because i dont have enough money in other words we arent going to give you any money because you dont have any money
No big deal Right but they sent me letters asking me to do something and i would do it then they would send me a letter asking me to do 2 things related to that one thing then they would send me another letter asking me to do 4 things related to those two things it was the polymerase chain reaction of grants No big deal Right but in every letter they wrote they would say that they would close my file if i didnt complete what they wanted done in a certain time fraim they had me going i felt like i was close I just had to do a couple more things and i would be approved they asked me to rewrite complete sections of the grant over almost the entire grant 3 times
No big deal. Right. but they could of told me a couple weeks after i submitted the grant that they couldnt give me any money because i didnt have enough money
it was a good con. i fell for it. Classic. target a desperate poplulation, give them hope, string them along and get all that you can out of them while giving them nothing in return, use fear (we are going to close your file if you dont do this by this date) imply that theyre close (just one more thing), promise a lot, deliver very little if not nothing at all, use credentials to gain trust (we are a government organization) ect ect
Quite a racket The only people who benefit from this organization are the people working there They tell the legislature they have helped something like 15 thousand people in the last funding session while they only spent so much money The legislature thinks theyre doing great so they give them more money With the money the workers give themselves raises and go on conferences to hawaii to learn `how to serve their clients better`
