MLM Bot watch 57- where the bizniss 'owners' are their own best customers.

[Bluewavescrashing]

Time for a new Fred, huns. We watch bots (people who have signed up to multi level marketing schemes which are thinly veiled pyramid schemes). We expose their lies, in the hope that fewer vulnerable people will be sucked in to buying a fake business. This is not trolling. It's calling them out on their fakery. Welcome, huns.

Oh yawn, I hate to piss on your aloe plants but a lot of traditional businesses are also allowing work from home days for office based workers. I can now work from home three days a week if I do wish (I don't, I'm too needy for conversation and people around me). Also if I'm clocked in working more than my contracted hours I get paid time and a half.

You're losing one of your baiting perks!

So so common now to work from home. I only go into work when I have to be there, mostly at the moment I’m at home

'pulled all of my meetings today to online'

Yeah, SO many meetings....lol

I'm embarrassed for them when they try to use a perk they believe is a problem.

(Mlmers are problem solvers remember)

Then it turns out that it's not really an issue.

Shows how out of touch they are.

Congratulations Norma!!

I hope you're going to treat yourself to some new pyjamas to wear to work.

I mean, you've got to look professional and all that

New pyjamas definitely. And I will post a picture of my first payslip here don't worry.
I will get my colleagues to whoop as I walk across a stage with it too.
I can't wait!!

Another one here working from home today, probably tomorrow and next day too. Usually at least one day a week but more this week due to the weather. I have a new laptop paid for as well that I use to work from home, unlike in MLM where I would have to buy it myself.

To be honest I think Yawn is really good at what she does (although she’s very out of touch with modern jobs, as shown above). It speaks volumes that someone who is so good at social media and marketing their business online is that much in debt with their company and not successful in reality.

Yawn, get a home-based job somewhere else (not MLM). I think you’d be gobsmacked at how much more you get for your efforts. You’d get the evenings and weekends to yourself, paid holidays, a much better wage, equipment paid for, so many more benefits, and most jobs nowadays are actually quite flexible too.

She’d be quite good at marketing, online sales, team leading, PA type stuff I think.

I agree, she has some skills

The longer she stays out of the workplace the more out of date she’ll get though. She’s a bit stuck because all of the ‘training’ she gets is outdated and not really training or professional development at all

I permanently work from home (when I’m not travelling) . I kind of have to when my office is overseas 😄. Thousands of people in my organisation do. In fact they downsized the London office to encourage people to work from home. It’s not a thing any more.

Covering up my gap of 5 years working in an MLM was one of my biggest issues when I finally saw the light. It’s tough, but a good career coach/CV writer can help out (a real qualified one).

This is something that can get overlooked- the impact time spent in an MLM can have on your career. I consider myself very lucky I managed to get where I would have been (eventually).

when screening applications I look very carefully at employment history and, particularly if there are any gaps, question the candidate about them

Just out of interest has anyone who deals with job applications ever seen an applicant mention being involved with an MLM on their form because I haven't.

I can only imagine that they're too embarrassed or have been made to feel like a failure so avoid mentioning it.

No I haven’t

I have had a 6 year break due to kids and caring for my mum. I do wonder what I would have put if I had been into pyramid schemes instead. I doubt I would have got a first interview.

I didn’t mention mine, luckily I could hide it along other freelance work I was doing at the time. I was too embarrassed to say I’d been in an MLM. But there are ways to reword what you’ve been up to- I’m sure a clever CV coach could rewrite someone like Yawns?

I think that the main thing to do would be to delete your social media before applying for a real job!

The higher up bots need to delete more than that. All of the testimonials they did for FLP, the videos made by others. Their names and mlm history are out there on pages and sites not controlled by them.

They won't be able to get away from it.

Thank you @DoraExplorer99
This job allows work from home too, and flexi time to attend any family commitments such as school assemblies.
Pyramid schemes are stuck in the dark ages.

can anyone make any sense out of what value bots get out of coaching?

PHd is trying to market herself as a coach. But had just spent 300 dollars on a coach for herself. Her coach has a programme called Sexy Hustle.

Now I know I am biased on MLM related shite... But. W.T.F. WTF!!!!! 😂😂😂😂

And why do coaches have to parade around in bikinis? What serious feminist values do they portray.

Even Lanzabot has one. Bird surname. All she does is parade around LA looking beautiful.

I'm confused people of Mumsnet. 😂😂😂

I’ve thought the same spanfan but I have no answers unfortunately. When I briefly looked into getting some kind of mentor/life coach a few years ago I looked for business achievements not how they looked Imin their swimwear.

Do any of these ex mlm coaches actually have any proper customers? They all just seem to be coaching each other!

The coach with the bird's name provides coaching for coaches, on how to be successful in your coaching business! You couldn't make it up! Is there honestly a fucking market for this?

And PhD bot is providing coaching for mlmers who don't get on with their upline. She's providing a sort of surrogate upline service. But if she's so good at being an upline, why isn't she actually being an upline? Presumably because there's no money in being an upline any more. Again - is there really a market for this? Are there really enough paying customers to go around all of these coaches who coach coaching?

I’m confused too!

These coaches have no actual qualifications and have often been coached by someone with no qualifications

It's almost like a pyramid..... 😂😂😂

No no no spanfan you clearly missed PhDs post from a few days/week ago. All work is a pyramid because every company has someone at the top who earns more than those at the moment. Or something.

I can't remember exactly but it did ignore the fact that those at the bottom of an MLM don't earn minimum wage where as minimum wage workers, well, do.
