Bruv certainly does like to document the mundane in great detail

Twentytwentyhindsight · 22/11/2019 14:18

Methinks the lad needs to get a life...

JackDelaney · 22/11/2019 14:29

Well, it looks like the Nu Skin bot I have followed for years has finally given up the ghost.

I genuinely feel so sorry for her, that she was wrapped up in this cultish company and that it defeated her.

It took her soul seriously. I've never seen someone become such a vacuous shell of a person, relentlessly plugging away to absolutely no interaction for so many months and years, to the point where her soul left her body and her eyes became empty of life.

Over the past 3/4 years I have noticed her gradually crumbling. The posts became so frightening at the end. It was like she was screaming "SAVE ME" through motivational memes and toxic positivity.

One post would be thanking this amazing company. Then they'd be posts about revamping her business....relaunching herself using all the self-development she'd been doing. Passive agressive posts about how she was going to prove the haters wrong, then another post about her getting her biggest ever pay check. Then another post about how the universe rewards people who refuse to quit.

Reposting old pictures of her on stage, standing next to those greedy leaders who couldn't give a flying f* about her internal struggles.

Her obsession with striving for greatness consumed her to the point of burning her completely out.

It was obvious that her internal world was in absolute disarray....

I wonder how her self-esteem must feel. She must blame herself for all this.

Now there is nothing. Her facebook closed.

I wonder if she actually had a nervous breakdown.

At it's worst MLM can completely destroy a person. This is definitely one of those times.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 22/11/2019 14:30

No Uber, you are not donating anything.

You might not be taking a cash profit on the shitty deodorants you are flogging, but your CCs are getting boosted, which means you are actually personally benefiting from a charitable act performed by others.

How shameless can you be, haven't you made enough from conning people already^^ that you have to abuse the whole idea of charitable donation?

Surely with your millions you brag about, you could just give the charity some of your cash if you want to claim the kudos?

MLMsuperfan · 22/11/2019 14:43

It's like reverse charity, when you consider where Nurse's mum's money is going. It's heartbreaking to think about. She has so little but is scraping together what she can spare to support her daughter's ambitions. But the lion's share of her money goes to FL corporate and Nurse's vile uplines.

fromdownwest · 22/11/2019 15:05

If every one of those people who donated their 'profits' just donated the cost of that bl**dy deodorant stick, then that target would have been smashed.

To benefit your business, and drive that behavior, off the back of people's generosity is gut wrenching.

I really can not wait until this lot lose the shirt off their backs and themselves fall on hard times. Maybe then, they may take a different view of life.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 22/11/2019 16:08

Spot on @MLMsuperfan - her mum's pity purchases have nothing to do with her having a need or any use for the products. Her brainwased daughter is telling her that this is the best way to support her, and she is going along with it.

Better to just give her the money and tell her she is flogging a dead horse. Much better than feeding the delusions, and at least 100% of that money would go to nurse, rather than Rex and the vultures...

Norma27 · 22/11/2019 16:08

Yawn’s vegan updates made me laugh. Especially frying her veg in coconut oil rather than butter now. Ever heard of a steamer yawn? Or even a saucepan? No wonder the c9s and gym don’t bloody work!!

CheekySmile · 22/11/2019 18:42

Ugh I called out Uber publicly when she was ‘fundraising’ for this charity before. It’s local to me and she had held an evening of showcasing FL products and donating profits to charity.
She was not happy with my comments on her post and tried to engage with me privately instead of defending her tactics on her post Angry

Spongebobette · 22/11/2019 18:43

@JackDelaney that’s just tragic

There are lots and lots of similar stories but these people become invisible; they feel such shame and they just disappear

Bluewavescrashing · 22/11/2019 20:43

I'm fully expecting all of Nurse's family and friends to receive Forever Living products for their Christmas gifts. How disappointed would you be as a recipient of substandard, cheaply packaged, overpriced creams that you know full well she has bought to boost her case credits? A sad winter's tale indeed.

Gotmychocolateimgood · 22/11/2019 20:45

I wonder if the Castle family give each other lavish FL hampers 😂

Spongebobette · 22/11/2019 20:51

@Bluewavescrashing

Ha I expect that there is a LOT of MLM product being gifted at Christmas. Lucky lucky uplines!!!!

darceybussell · 22/11/2019 22:06

Just checking in to complain that my nail lady has become a full metal herbalife bot. I was puzzled because during my last couple of appointments she spent the entire time bragging about how much money she had and all her amazing holidays. Now I know why! I did get a message inviting me to a herbalife event, which I ignored, and I have found a new nail lady. Angry

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 23/11/2019 08:47

The bots desperation to get engagement on their fb pages is unreal.

Uber is asking about dog groomers in Banbury .

Erm, how long has she lived in that area and how long has she had a dog? ....long enough to know the answer FFS!

Spongebobette · 23/11/2019 09:39

@darceybussell

is your nail lady working in a salon? If so, I'm sure her employer, or whoever she rents the workspace from within the salon, would not be happy to hear this.

Spongebobette · 23/11/2019 09:41

REALLY?
THIS is the right time, when Forever Living is dying on its arse???

I’ve done this for 10 years, but I can honestly say NOW is the right time, people know more about this way of working, flexibly from home, the high street is dying with companies closing down & the opportunity is so valuable

News Flash-Uber’s toddler has a hair cut whoop de doo.
Bottom of barrel scraping methinks. How is your son doing with his begging bowl. Awaiting Santa I presume.

darceybussell · 23/11/2019 11:46

@spongebobette No, unfortunately she just works for herself, but the last time I messaged her to ask for an appointment she didn't respond (probably too busy working her bizness) so that made it much easier to bin her off!

Spongebobette · 23/11/2019 12:09

@darceybussell

The uplines often say you can work your bizness alongside your normal job, or in the pockets of time you have in your week

They don't say....if you have a legitimate business and then insert your MLM into it, your clients may well abandon you

Twentytwentyhindsight · 23/11/2019 12:34

So Rarebot and the Castle clan have jumped on the Doggy bandwagon- do you think there was a memo sent out?

Spongebobette · 23/11/2019 12:58

I expect that they monitor each others' accounts and when they see a good idea they copy it

Because, as Lanza said 'monkey see, monkey do'

Jigsawpuzzle · 23/11/2019 16:44

Yawns 1st ✔️On goal board . One to keep a beady 👁 on.
I too noted the pimping of dogs 🐕 . Like the Terminator they will stop at nothing and cannot be reasoned with.
