Very happy for someone to contribute to the thread with info about the company founders, what they do with their money etc
Also on comp plans...

BSintolerant · 14/09/2020 13:39

I think Roomie is projecting when she refers to contributors to these threads as “morally reprehensible” and suffering from cognitive dissonance. We’ve always known what lying, scamming, bullying creatures MLM bots are. Roomie is only just waking up to the fact that she’s one of many. Must be very difficult for her to come to terms with. Let’s hope she gets all the help she desperately needs, and sells her story to the highest bidder. Wink

Spongebobette · 14/09/2020 14:10

Lol one of her friends has commented saying she told her it was a cult!

Roomie insisting it's just some people... It’s crazy that she can’t see MLMs as the root cause of all the ‘poor ethics’

CompleteBarstool · 14/09/2020 14:18

Maybe there's a degree of embarrassment or guilt about falling for the whole scam and being a part of it for so long which means she can't admit to it all being negative.

SSDGM · 14/09/2020 15:43

I’ll stop “bullying” these Arseholes when they stop lying and taking advantage of vulnerable people. She makes no apologies for that, does she?
Homeschool still hasn’t apologised for dragging people down with her. When they do that, maybe I’ll stop laughing.

Norma27 · 14/09/2020 15:53

@SSDGM totally agree.
We point out inconsistencies and narcissistic behaviour as well as bullying and taking advantage of vulnerable people.
The real, actual bullies in these pyramid schemes can fuck right off!

Spongebobette · 14/09/2020 16:10

Homeschool and Roomie are both down the rabbit hole still
They think the problem is the odd person, not the system
Homeschool has just changed companies and is exploiting people in exactly the same way
Roomie is ‘sourcing other products’ and will soon be building a new team and exploring people
Fuck off with your driving across the country/ having teamies to stay. You exploited people and pretended to be their friend to make money. End of.

Certainly inconsistencies should be pointed out. And there has been a lack of acknowledgement of pulling others down (probably because the bots in question still believe bin the model and just think they encountered bad individuals).

However if you go back to page 27 of this thread (as an example) and read it, then it is a load of chat about the houses and social life of some nicknamed individuals. Those of us in the threads from the start know who they are and know the inconsistencies/back stories but I think it can look cliquey and can be construed bad bullying by bots. Certainly, if I came to these threads now then I would read a couple of pages, not have a clue what was being talked about, and go away none the wiser about MLMs.

Yes queries from newcomers do get answered but often only with one or two posts before it goes back to discussing nicknamed individuals. And I have sometimes seen newcomers queries get completely overlooked by those of us who could answer their questions because there was some juicy discussion of a couple of individual bots.

terrywynne · 14/09/2020 16:40

And I yes I have also been one of the posters posting about individuals.

Spongebobette · 14/09/2020 17:09

Hard. It to get cliquey after 62 threads!!

Spongebobette · 14/09/2020 17:09

Not to

CompleteBarstool · 14/09/2020 18:29

Someone asked Roomie the valid question as to whether she continued to recruit after she realised the bullying that was going on …...she's deleted the post.

That'll be a yes then.

Spongebobette · 14/09/2020 18:41

Yup

AlexCabot · 14/09/2020 19:29

I see that the new Business Bombshell bots are recruiting for their 'girl gang'.

Interestingly, most I've come across are also balls deep in other MLM's, usually Usborne or FM world.

SSDGM · 14/09/2020 20:44

Roomie didn’t just delete the question, she also blocked the person.

BSintolerant · 14/09/2020 20:56

Well she would, wouldn’t she? Wink

CompleteBarstool · 14/09/2020 21:06

….and now she's deleted the whole post.

Spongebobette · 14/09/2020 21:19

Ha
Ha
Ha

SSDGM · 14/09/2020 21:33

Asking difficult questions isn’t bullying, Roomie.

Not answering that and deleting the lot has shown her up to be exactly what she is. An attention seeker. I don’t think she’s ever been anything but. Just like the rest of them. No 1 best selling author my backside.

Botbrigade · 14/09/2020 21:50

Is Roomie really a best selling author?!

AlexCabot · 14/09/2020 21:51

I think she vanity published on Amazon?

Spongebobette · 15/09/2020 06:47

Yeah easy to cheat on Amazon lists

Looking back through her posts, it’s clear she’s an attention seeking show off who is the queen of spin
The house they bought a couple of years ago and are now selling is a few doors down from a pub and she complained about the noise a lot

SSDGM · 15/09/2020 14:13

BBL has apparently paid $1000 to hear a motivational speaker with the hope of becoming a coach.

Looks like the juice plus cash cow has stopped producing milk..

Twentytwentyhindsight · 15/09/2020 18:31

PhD is dramatically reducing the price to get unlimited access to all her bundled knowleedge [sic]....

spanfan · 15/09/2020 18:51

Just saw that and was about to post the same.

All just hyperbole over a completely overpriced (probably worth nothing) product reduced a just a little less overpriced product.

I would LOVE to know if anyone has actually joined up.
