Campus Dining CSUDH (Foundation)-- Why it is a business CULT

Yes I am making a strong claim that Campus Dining CSUDH is a business cult.


Why? Because it has most of the traits of any cult.

Listed below are the social and psychological traits of a cult

• Questioning, doubt, and dissent are discouraged or even punished.
• The leadership dictates, sometimes in great detail, how members should think, act, and feel.
• The group is elitist, claiming a special, exalted status for itself, its leader(s), and its members.
• The group has a polarized, us-versus-them mentality.
• The leader is not accountable to any authorities.
• The leadership induces feelings of shame and/or guilt in order to influence members. Often this is done through peer pressure and subtle forms of persuasion.
• The group is preoccupied with bringing in new members.
• Members are expected to devote inordinate amounts of time to the group and group-related activities.
• Members are encouraged or required to live and/or socialize only with other group members.
• The most loyal members (the “true believers”) feel there can be no life outside the context of the group. They believe there is no other way to be, and often fear reprisals to themselves or others if they leave— or even consider leaving—the group.
• How are people who left the group treated? What is said about them? Will the group give you names of people who left? Both those who were satisfied and those who were not?
• Are former members willing to speak about their experiences? How do they evaluate their time with the group or person?
• What is the process for filing complaints? Is there a feedback mechanism that is real and honored? Are complaints made public? Is there a money-back guarantee?
• Are your questions answered directly? Are you told time and again to listen to your heart and not your head? Are you told that you are too new, too uninformed, too nosy, and so on, and shouldn’t be asking such questions?
• Is there a leader who appears to be the ultimate authority, spokesperson? Are his or her views challenged by others? Must the leader’s opinion be accepted without question?
• What is the attitude of the followers toward the leader? Are there checks and balances to hold the leader accountable?
• Is more than one point of view presented? Are other points of view recognized? Are other points of view seen as valid but different?
• What kind of commitment is expected? In time, money, lifestyle changes?
• Does it appear that there are secrets? Is information restricted in any way? Is there some information that you are told must not be shared with outsiders? Is there information that you’re told you can’t get until you’re a member of the group or reached a certain level?
