A relative has been on an 'all expenses paid' (yeah right) 'vacation' with Herbalife.
Endless crowing on fb about making memories with their Herbalife 'family'.
Mercifully they are now back home, so I won't need to see the many posts re 'how amazing is our company taking us on a FREE holiday!'

Except it wasn't free, was it. We all know the hoops they'd have needed to jump through to qualify, and the money they'll have spent.

@Angrymum22 I’ve tweeted Stirling University and its student union. Hopefully others will too. I wonder how much they’re being paid to provide the venue?

Sugarplum48 · 16/05/2024 13:55

@Angrymum22 on fb there's a actual page for the student union with a email address

Angrymum22 · 16/05/2024 14:46

Thank you I didn’t check FB, I was looking for uni policies re MLMs.
Will email them.

Yawn is incredibly shallow. It’s painful watching her. She has posted so many views of her on the catwalk. And, rather interestingly, refers to herself as a guest speaker. How can you be a guest speaker for your own company?

YouOKHun · 16/05/2024 15:10

@Angrymum22 if the university doesn’t understand the problem with FLP on their campus we can refer them to their own department of economics who should be able explain why MLM can’t possibly work for the students (or university staff) it ensnares!

I’m sure they see it as just renting out space but there’s no way the bots will pass up the opportunity to approach the students if they can. Generally I’m sure students are unlikely to give those bots the time of day but there is always the financial vulnerability of many students to exploit.

Tinkabell02 · 16/05/2024 16:03

So does Yawn really expect people to buy the “I only worked 20 minutes last night “ , it was a 6 hour round trip to Manchester to start with !! She really does expect people to be as thick as her doesn’t she .

I think students want to see instant results, which is why they work in bars and restaurants. I don’t think they’d be interested in MLMs.

HOLD THE FRONT PAGE.....BREAKING NEWS.... Bruv has spoken some sense as a social media guru (or whatever he's calling himself this week) ... he's got a post on his stories about how to spot when someone's bought followers.

OK it's not rocket science but hey ... small steps and all that 😀

Exactly!

Somehow she manages to get -

‘I talked for 20 minutes in a fabulous restaurant venue, as a guest speaker’

From the reality of -

‘It was at least a 6 hour round trip, I can’t afford to stay over, I had to have a sarnie on the way as there was actually no hospitality included, and I’m totally consumed by the business in question so can’t actually be consider to be a guest’

PieonaBarm · 16/05/2024 19:12

Romantic weekend in Cannes. Hahahahaha yeah right Yawn, last time I went away with my DH there wasn't 400 other oddballs who also hawk aloe Vera to any other gullible soul they can con into buying it.

Oh and we paid for it ourselves using our SALARY and used our PAID LEAVE to enjoy it!

Nursenotthennursethennurseagainbuthatesit is relaunching the coaching business again. I think this is the fourth time.

Spongebobette · 17/05/2024 06:56

She really hates having a real job and spends the whole time waiting for her ‘days off’ and half term etc

So nurse has been banging on for the last 18 months or so about how much she loves her coaching bizniz/it's what she wants to do etc but now apparently it isn't!
The other day she posted her price list in her stories but she's also been thinking for months about changing things....
Will be interesting to see what direction she goes in next....wee mlm tie in maybe?!

Also her car passed it's MOT cos she manifested it would!

PieonaBarm · 17/05/2024 12:12

Yawns only worked 11 hours this week.....

DeliaDeetz · 17/05/2024 13:58

PieonaBarm · 17/05/2024 12:12

Yawns only worked 11 hours this week.....

Is that the hours she spent posting on social media?!

PieonaBarm · 17/05/2024 14:42

I think maybe she's referring to the hours she sat in the car going to Manchester and back

PieonaBarm · 17/05/2024 18:51

So 2jags posts about a meeting with Bloodsucker and shows a gift she's got from her, and Yawn posts a passive aggressive post showing burning matches and a gap then not burned matches saying what happens when you step away.....

MaybeItsJustTimeToStop · 17/05/2024 19:58

I'm so tempted to comment on headbands post.

  1. Quite happy in a job where I'm paid consistently every month, can log off at the end of the day,weekend and holiday and not be needed to work unless there's a real emergency, and I don't need to try to get my friend's and family to sign up or buy crap from me.

But I don't want to get blocked and accussed of trolling 😅

YouOKHun · 17/05/2024 20:24

@MaybeItsJustTimeToStop You’d have to say a lot less than that to avoid accusations of trolling! Been there and got attacked and blocked.

Even a polite question gets her hackles up. This demonstrates that the cognitive dissonance is real, somewhere she knows the critics are right but it’s too dangerous to go there. When she’s not sure she asks Yawn how to respond (was the case with me) and the snippy aggression she then displayed is pure Yawn, the smiling emojis and layers of positivity delivered with it is Headband’s doubt peeking through. She’s stupid but I don’t think she’s nasty at her core, she’s just a willing pupil of her upline. It’s taken her a decade to dig the psychological hole she’s in; no wonder she can’t bear to hear any alternative perspectives or hear about paid holidays, sick pay, regular salaries and proper downtime, oh and no gaslighting and trickery because of other protections available to employees that are not available when you’re being scammed.

And having to leave your sick child to go to an evening work event, not getting home until very late having dropped off your ‘guest’ and having to be super excited and positive about it all

Fierce's latest post is mentioning Entrepreneursity, and how her 2 latest victims have been taught 'her' launch strategy by 'someone else' and how totally DELIGHTED about that she is........

Waiting for a snide reaction from Castle.......

YouOKHun · 17/05/2024 20:58

When I was employed there is no way I would have been forced to attend an evening event if my child had been ill all day. Nor would I have felt it was too risky not to attend. I wonder if these bots ever think about the guilt trip that was laid on them to be there for their children when the reality is FLP wants the bots’ attention or presence all the time? In fact it wants their children as tools of engagement, so they can sell on the lie of total flexibility and being “a better parent” whilst compromising their children’s privacy and safety.

Nichè?????

Thank goodness her live explained what a 'niche' was. She seems to think it's a word they made up themselves.

Anyway she pretty much admits that she doesn't like coaching or at least the type of coaching she's doing so is totally changing everything. Winding down her current clients.

I think it might be manifesting given her last 'poll' (of three responses) and I fear it maybe linked to the topic of her 'book' as she says it's linked to other projects she has going on. God, I hope it's not manifesting success in MLM.

Spongebobette · 17/05/2024 21:13

I can’t see her live

what IS a nichè???
