MLM Bot Watch 38 - Large cheques are not forever

988 replies

Whiterangey · 27/04/2018 21:00

I think the members of the Anti-MLM Coalition in the UK deserves to be recognised for the reduced cheques that have been received by the Forever Living bots in the UK.

They have worked tirelessly to spread the Anti-MLM message which seemed like a pointless battle when they started.

Yet here we are, the message is getting out there, and people are beginning to get the message.

People are listening. Ex-bots are telling their stories and encouraging others to leave or not to join MLM's.

You are all awesome and have worked so hard, you deserve so much respect for helping so many people.

So I wonder when/if Yawn will acknowledge her lack of cheque?

She's bound to use the renovation excuse but let's face it hanging a load of hearts and inspirational quotes on every available surface isn't exactly renovation.Grin

Unless I've forgotten anything they haven't had any major work done (some electrics when they first moved in is the most invasive job I can recall).

It's just been cosmetic or general maintenance of home and garden, just like we all have to do.

I’m also wondering what the UK corporate team & CEO are thinking. Bob Parker must have some kind of market performance incentive, so his bonus cheques will also be way down this year.

ForTheTimeBeing · 28/04/2018 09:38

I do wonder if Minion Bot's post last night, "Work hard and get rewarded handsomely", was an intentional dig at Yawnbot!

Norma27 · 28/04/2018 09:41

How funny would it be if yawn’s ex downline who posted about not flying first class asked her how much her cheque was? If you read these please ask her to see her reply.

ArbunneHun · 28/04/2018 09:50

The small number of Big Presentation With Photo-Op Cheques also explains why so few UK bots took husbands & children along this year. What’s the point if there’s not going to be a big family photo round a big old cheque to post all over social media for the next 12 months?

CurlsandCurves · 28/04/2018 10:20

Even if house renovation is Yawns excuse, surely the point of having an amaaazing bizniz like Forever is that you can work it around your life?

But she was busy with her life so her bizniz dropped.

So, which is it, Yawn?

And people citing bad years personally. I have every sympathy, but at least with a J O B you still get paid, and hopefully have colleagues who support you.

When does the live stream start again, only 2 bots to go isn't it?

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 28/04/2018 10:53

C'mon wake up Dallas bots we want to hear your responses to the massively reduced (or absent in some cases!!) cheque amounts in the cold light of day!

entrepeneur · 28/04/2018 10:54

Yup just Uber and Bloodsucker to go unless Yawn has is going to defy the odds and get presented a cheque!

Spongebobette · 28/04/2018 10:59

If I had been busy decorating a house and going to Homesense to buy tat, for a full year (??)....guess what, I could still have earned my full salary, would have had paid holidays, sick pay, pension paid into, etc

SUCH a lot of bollox, this 'having a year off' excuse.

And what happened to the 'fitting your business into the nooks and crannies of time you have'???

Spongebobette · 28/04/2018 11:02

I predict a renewed recruitment drive when they are all back, accompanied by a slide into other 'opportunities' to bolster income.

But no big cheque photos to reel in the newbies

I must say though that some minions are commenting excitedly on Yawn's posts as though she's really impressing them.

BethanyBarleywater · 28/04/2018 11:02

Is the cheque a bonus based on what you have sold?

ArbunneHun · 28/04/2018 11:31

Yawn has been posting recruitment pushes while she’s been in Dallas. The law of diminishing returns is surely kicking in by now... who is left that could be interested and who hasn’t already tried & failed?

JaniceBattersby · 28/04/2018 11:32

It’s obvious now why home school bot took her kids out of the fancy private school. Poor things.

I do feel for their kids. It’s not their fault.

So I would have thought the writing’s on the wall for FLP UK.

I guess its two major problems are

  1. Saturation point has been reached and

  2. thanks to threads like these and the other great work going on by the anti-MLM bloggers, people have seen that the whole thing is a pyramid-shaped scamalama. Loads and loads of people I know have been talking about our local bots recently in less than glowing terms. These are people who were still going to ‘pamper parties’ and the like a year ago.

I guess a few bots can squeeze a few more years out of it, but realistically the vast majority of the bots must be really scared now.

Tizzlebizzle · 28/04/2018 11:43

I looked back on the qualifying for global rally posts of both Yawn and her bestie. On bestie's the CB level 1 was clearly seen but on Yawn's the bottom part had been cropped which must mean rally qualifier not CB.
However, if her bestie is in her downline and got CB and Yawn had the CCs to qualify for GR then if she didn't get a cheque at all it has to be that she didn't have sufficient new business surely? Unless I've misunderstood the CB criteria.

ArbunneHun · 28/04/2018 11:45

Don’t get me wrong, people are still receiving significant amounts of money. Let’s be honest, who wouldn’t want a Castle or Yawn’s Best Hun-sized bonus?

But the number receiving them has dropped enormously and the amounts are really not the life-changing amounts that they were 2 years ago. And they use the big multi-zero cheques to recruit, they use them as bait. The magic ‘It could be me up there!’ dream is going to be a much, much tougher sell after this rally.

The ones I feel for are the new recruits who have been duped into thinking this is the answer, that this is security for their family's future. The ones who have handed in their notice at work to pursue the dream, the ones that have decided not to return to work after maternity leave all because some lying, manipulative, ruthless bot has convinced them (through blatant lies and of course the "extravagant lifestyle" posts on social media) that they too can have the dream house/car/holidays etc.

These recruits are either watching Dallas unfold and thinking "oh fuck what have I done?" or are so brainwashed and have had the wool pulled so far over their eyes that they will blindly continue. I'm hoping that it's the former and that they have the good sense to get out now before they're in too deep.

Any bots reading this and having doubts, please get out now! The support is there via Timeless Vie, Botwatch, this thread and your friends and family who have probably been worried about you.

Maybe word has got out that she's not the nicest or most supportive of upline.

There have been lots of firsthand reports of bullying and nastiness from her ex-teamies on these threads.

ArbunneHun · 28/04/2018 11:57

Even with this utter massacre of bonus amounts, they are STILL claiming that ‘business is booming’ and ‘now is the best time to join’.

No. It’s not. Forever Living is almost over in the UK. Join now and you might make the likes of Yawn or Castle/Castle’s family a few more £££, but it will make you sod all money, let alone change your life.

ArbunneHun · 28/04/2018 12:00

Right, who do we think will be the first of the high profile poster-bots to leave FL?

Fence80786 · 28/04/2018 12:19

Yes, word has got out about Yawn’s vicious tongue. She forgot what goes around, comes around......karma!!!!

Look at how she’s treated her roomie, who I assume is making money for her. Yawn’s response to roomie’s post of a real photo of Yawn in her gym kit is to shame roomie by posting up an awkward photo of her.

Yawn has been exposed, her mask has slipped for all to see. She will be the first top so called bot to leave FL either voluntarily or she will be booted out.

She won’t be able to dodge questions that people will want to know - how big was your cheque, why didn’t you get one, how many managers do you have, what size do you think your cheque will be next time.

Fake lifestyle has finally caught up with her and it will be hard to pretend that she is wealthy and capable of retiring as that costs money- money that she doesn’t have.
