The continuing crusade to expose the underhand tactics used to lure (mainly) women into exploitative schemes using the lure of 'financial independence'.

Castle’s bro has just posted a live of the new managers being recognised. There were only 6 on stage and I think 9 names on the screen behind. That’s a tiny amount compared to a couple of years ago when you could barely fit them all on the stage. How can the top bots be making a living if there are not the new promotions coming through? No matter how much they hype it up they must be worried.

Success Day looks absolutely grim.
Some whooping and hollering but that can’t disguise the low energy of the UK area boss, or the fact that there are only about 20 Managers being ‘recognised’

One of Yawn’s minions posted a video of her sitting in a row with her teamies, the chairs look very uncomfortable and there are lots of empty seats

The sun is shining and these people have paid money and travelled long distances for this

My friend who got botted a few years ago and went on the stage with a sash on saying ‘supervisor’ shared a video at the time and the place was PACKED and there was a non stop stream of people across the stage

Hi, I dip in and out of these threads but thought I'd just ask if anyone else has listened to The Dream podcast? I'm about 1/2 way through and it's very interesting - talks about the history of mlm's and how they got started (basically after pyramid schemes were shut down in the US).

Spongebobette · 16/02/2019 13:12

Yes I’ve listened to them all, I highly recommmend them!

FranceTeam · 16/02/2019 13:20

How does the whole named “team” thing work in FLP?

Do you have to be part of the team of your up line ? Or can you decide to set one up yourself and be more independent ?

CurlsandCurves · 16/02/2019 13:39

You can call yourself and your team whatever you like.

It’s encouraged I think, to reinforce the idea of ‘look, you’re a proper business owner with your very own name and everything!’

But in conversation with other bots it’s handy to say who’s upline you’re in, so I would have said I’m part of the qls group overall, but my upline was the chrysalis group. Helps people get an idea of who you are and where you are in the biz.

Looks like Salon's back.
Facebook is full of Valentus bots boasting about their 4 figure pay.
I thought this company was nearly finished.
What happened!!!!

Norma27 · 16/02/2019 14:17

Just seen a post in bff’s fb. She was asked to turn her car engine off when waiting for her son. She has asked if it is really thatvvadckeabing a brand new car’s engine running. Yes it bloody is. Stop being so inconsiderate to others and the environment.

Norma27 · 16/02/2019 14:18
  • that bad in a brand new car!
Twentytwentyhindsight · 16/02/2019 14:58

To decode BFFs post:
"I own a new car and am above considerations for other people and the environment. This could be you if you join my team!"

It really is very empty there. New bots won't know any different but the top bots must realize by now it's almost over and there is no getting back from this.

Are uber and castle there?

Norma27 · 16/02/2019 15:24

I’m wondering if Uber, castle and bloodsucker are there too.
BFF only 14th in UK last year!

Norma27 · 16/02/2019 15:45

Looks like Uber is on holiday so not there

Tupperwarelid · 16/02/2019 15:59

Castle has flown back especially for it.

Paddy1234 · 16/02/2019 16:21

Castle has had to fly back as all the families coffers are at risk.
All the eggs in one basket comes to mind - but the basket is full of holes

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 16/02/2019 16:23

I have to say that Castle didn't look comfortable on that stage. Very self-conscious and clearly trying to hide either weight gain or pregnancy.

Spongebobette · 16/02/2019 16:35

Someone explain to me how a not can be in the top ten FBOs in the UK but, as far as we know, not qualify for Chairman’s Bonus??

Spongebobette · 16/02/2019 16:35

*bot

spanfan · 16/02/2019 17:11

I spotted bloodsucker on castlebruvs video

Twentytwentyhindsight · 16/02/2019 17:40

Those at the top know FLP UK is a sinking ship. They are there to make sure they squeeze the maximum out of the last poor saps to be sucked in.

Those at the very top (Bloodsucker and Uber) are already made and/or have moved into fresh markets. The rest of them can see the writing on the wall, but are unable to do any about it and have to keep on pretending it's all 'onwards and upwards', while quietly downsizing their lifestyles in preparation for the inevitable end.

So if Yawn is number 10 surely that must mean a cheque this year?

Twentytwentyhindsight · 16/02/2019 18:47

If you look at the senior bots' social media, they are all keeping any mention of the event to a minimum, and not tagging any of their teamies in case a video posted by a naive junior bot pops up showing what a dire shambles it truly is...

If you go on the country managers FB page - he has a list of top 30
