It's not the first time I've seen it.

cozietoesie · 12/12/2016 21:07

So it might have been sent out by one of the 'higher-ups' as copy-fodder and to gee people up?

Spongebobette · 12/12/2016 22:11

Ah perhaps that's what all the 'trainings' are!

I hate it when they pluralise training.

BSintolerant · 12/12/2016 22:52

Bots store and share posts like that in their closed Facebook Groups. Those groups are disturbing, which is why we should all be grateful that they're closed. Bots even share photos of aloe plants decorated with fairy lights. Some of them talk to their plants, which is fine as long as the plants don't talk back.

Eeeeeeeeek (without the exclamation marks).

cozietoesie · 12/12/2016 23:04

Oh Dear, BS. You spent all of your exclamation marks? Grin

BSintolerant · 12/12/2016 23:36

I spent them all at once Cozie. Who needs aloe when you can have a good punctuation purge? 😉

I feel much lighter now. My colon will never be the same again.

(!) And here's a sore butt assuming to prove it.

BSintolerant · 12/12/2016 23:37
  • assicon - not assuming. Bloody hell.
cozietoesie · 13/12/2016 17:40

I've never come across that word.

Guess I lead a sheltered life! Grin

Spongebobette · 13/12/2016 19:37

Well. Thanks for the education BS !!

BSintolerant · 13/12/2016 23:39

Every little helps Sponge- unless you're a bot who tells their downline not to let their education hold them back. Hmm

cozietoesie · 14/12/2016 16:35

'education' or 'lack of education', BS? (I can think of - equally nonsensical - reasons for either statement, though.)

Annie65 · 14/12/2016 20:04

Watchdog tonight have just mentioned health products that do not do as they say, and they have just mentioned Juice-plus. Eeeeeekkkkkk huns gotta watch it.Grin

BSintolerant · 14/12/2016 20:18

It's interesting viewing.

bestegg · 14/12/2016 20:20

Good to see Juice Plus is blaming the bots for going off message with the medical claims!

BSintolerant · 14/12/2016 20:22

Watchdog invites viewers to tell them about dodgy health claims made by Juice Plus
sellers. I can think of a few other product-based pyramid schemes to drop in it too. Wink

cozietoesie · 14/12/2016 20:25

I see that you can 'restart' programmes on BBC iplayer?

BSintolerant · 14/12/2016 20:38

cozie the bot who is in two minds about education didn't refer to a lack of education, but who knows whether she meant that? The same bot brags about paying for kids to be educated as if only bots can afford such a thing. Botworld is a funny place to visit!

cozietoesie · 14/12/2016 21:12

Perhaps she meant that too much 'learning' is a 'bad thing' if you want to advance in the MLM world? One heck of an admission if so. Smile

ManagersDilemma · 14/12/2016 23:03

Looking forward to catching up on Watchdog!

I have more good news. I was surprised and delighted to receive this response to my email of complaint, following FL's visit to my workplace:

"Thanks for expressing your concerns. I have taken on your comments, and it’s no problem, we won’t have Forever Living in again."

Totes awesome, hunzzzzz! Grin I have opened at least five people's eyes to the evils of MLMs as a result of FL's visit - perhaps not quite the outcome they were hoping for...

It's nice when a strident complaint actually gets a result like this and I would encourage you all to protest similarly at the appearance of MLMs in your workplaces, school fairs, etc.

acatcalledjohn · 14/12/2016 23:08

Well done! I complained when Stella & Dot came in to our place and never got a response.

At least I tried.

ManagersDilemma · 14/12/2016 23:15

Yes, I wasn't expecting to hear anything back. I suppose we just have to keep speaking up and the message will get through in some cases.

acatcalledjohn · 15/12/2016 10:29

Absolutely.

In other news, Michael Bublé pic is used in what I think is NuSkin advertising...

CommonSenseIsNotThatCommon · 17/12/2016 11:06

Vida Divina is looking for owners of Beauty salons to join their team.

acatcalledjohn · 17/12/2016 16:33

That would be perfect for 'squash' bot, who opened her own beauty salon with the money she conned out of earned from her previous yazoo sales downlines.

Spongebobette · 18/12/2016 10:35

'I have overcome bullying' bot is flogging her wares at a David Lloyd gym today

😡😡🤔😱
