@spanfan - nope, not even newish Japanese mega Bot with 45k CCs made it into the top ten. It's a club reserved for those who got in at the beginning.

Yawn claiming her cheque is much much more than she was expecting

Yawn has posted to say she can’t say how much her bonus is, but it’s A LOT 🤔

Why can’t she say? That never used to be the case.

Surely it’s because it’s A LOT less than before.

It will be a fraction of her cheques of yesteryear. She will probably say it is because she is part time or something.

Which puts paid to the "work hard for a few years then sit back" line they peddle.

Butterflyfluff · 13/04/2024 15:37

Do the actual amounts get published anywhere?

There used to be yoga mat photos plastered everywhere, online, in the magazine. Funny how that isn't the case any more. I doubt we will see the UK amounts.

YouOKHun · 13/04/2024 16:31

The proof of the size of Yawn’s cheque will be in the spending or lack there of. Let’s just say she gets $15k, post tax that is nice to have but in no way will it keep the wolf from the door. I don’t expect anything to change in her current glitzy life of dog walks and trips to the tent in a very small car. If she’s silly enough to over extend herself in order purchases the signs and symbols traditionally used to sell the dream then the disaster will come sooner. Whatever cheque (excluding Uber and Bloodsucker) they must all be concerned and each year that passes all the whooping and cheering can’t possibly distract them from where it’s heading.

So frustrating not to know where the UK came in the rankings and what cheques our pet bots got

OP posts:
OhMyGiddyAunt · 13/04/2024 16:44

It's crazy that, year after year, their cheques are decreasing yet they still keep plodding on, devoting more and more time and energy into it .

No doubt they're hoping for that elusive success which might be round the corner but if you transfer this situation to an everyday J.O.B. you wouldn't put up with less and less every year (whether it be the money, number of days annual leave or whatever) without some sort of complaint/comment or by voting with your feet and looking for a job elsewhere.

Spongebobette · 13/04/2024 16:46

Uber is much much more skilled at getting photos with other FL leaders and producing a timeline of the trip and it looks like she’s networking non stop

Yawn’s an amateur in comparison - films herself in the hotel room, shares photos of herself in the ‘pit’
no glamour or interest

Yes. After a year of 'taking her foot off the gas' (i.e failing desperately at property development, despite free labour), she has realised how cold and scary the real world outside is.
This will have been driven home by receiving a cheque for possibly 3% of her best.
She is desperate to get back into the fold and is licking arse liberally to show her renewed allegiance.
Problem is, the UK market's fucked. She has nothing to grow. Her downlines will continue to wither.
Hilarious to watch her crawl up Bloodsucker's arse, back when she (very temporarily) took UK number one spot, she rubbed it in as much as she could (contributing to her moniker here).
Whichever way you look, the UK is buggered.
They will be amalgamated further with other countries, country staff will be cut back dramatically, bots will have an organ grinder whose main focus is not the fading UK market and the tent will be in a Sainsbury's car park.
Oh dear.

YouOKHun · 13/04/2024 17:50

@Twentytwentyhindsight didn't Bob the Builder submit a late invoice equating to a chunk of her pension?!

WisteriaLodge · 13/04/2024 18:06

Has Uber got downlines in Africa too?

Spongebobette · 13/04/2024 18:38

Were there any announcements about amalgamations etc?

I suspect that Bloodsucker got in first and tightly controls the new markets - she’ll use some of her UK downline to place new bots under or some shit like that which ultimately benefits her but might boosts the likes of Uber and Yawn

I may be wrong of course

Strict instructions! FLP may say it’s because they mustn’t make income claims in a nod to the rules (and of course, not because they don’t want people to see how many cheques have shrunk and are a fraction of what they were).

They and their bots need to understand that an income claim is still misleading when it’s implied rather than in black and white. Yawn’s post about a 13th month’s salary, a life changing amount etc is misleading as it implies she earns a steady salary as well as a huge bonus “for helping people” and that it’s a likely outcome for others who join her. It’s very misleading.

Spongebobette · 13/04/2024 19:11

But they did this for years and years! And now the fact that they can’t just allows the likes of Yawn to hint at much larger bonuses than they actually received

OP posts:
Twentytwentyhindsight · 13/04/2024 19:17

Imaginary bonuses (boni?) don't mend mangy thatches.

Already one bot on Specsaver’s post saying they’d love to try it but they don’t have a machine

maybe treat ourselves with our FL bonus was the reply 👍

OP posts:
Butterflyfluff · 13/04/2024 19:37

That just proves how toxic it all is.

Not allowing bots to disclose their bonuses just fuels the fire as they can claim whatever they like.

Just like the upper seats in that auditorium were filled with locals, not FBOs.

It’s a disgrace.

Butterflyfluff · 13/04/2024 19:39

Bloodsucker’s $1m cheque from 2015 is still at the top of her FB page.

Angrymum22 · 13/04/2024 19:43

If Yawn’s directors loan shrinks this year we will be able to estimate her bonus. However we do know that they “invest” in stock at certain deadlines in order to achieve targets. Yawn’s bonus may just be enough to cover the cost of a garage full of C9s.
Also remember that Yawns big TicTok push of her cleanse weight loss system may well be responsible for this years bonus.
She has lost interest, or rather TicTokers have lost interest in her so this line of business may well have been short lived.
She has been offering free C9s to anyone who starts a business with her recently which suggests she has a bit of a stock pile.

I may seem a little nerdy, but years of running a legit business where stats and data were crucial to profit and loss figures each year means I have an eye for it.
You can be a very busy fool shifty high value, low markup items. Far better to shift the lower value significant mark up which are often far more popular and easy to market.

Spongebobette · 13/04/2024 19:44

castle’s ex bff has all the cheque amounts as a wall display in her house
wonder if she’ll add this latest one

OP posts:
Butterflyfluff · 13/04/2024 19:45

On the subject of Yawn’s directors loan - can anyone help me understand how it works as she has both a debtor and a creditor in her accounts for circa £200k - I don’t understand what the collateral is here?
