Im glad ive stumbled on to this i was suckrd into this as well and extremely brainwashed to the point that im seekimg therapy for it now i lost my apartment my girlfriend my job amd my friends and family due to this cult and these uplimes friends coaches mentors of mine just consitently clean me out for cash without making me profitable and preying on my vulnerabilty and quest for prosperity knowledge and network patting me on the back while stealimg cash out of my wallet fuckin scum bags

A reader stopped by to let us know that he had his life ripped apart by Amway and is working to get it together again.

Amway is all about destroying lives. Nothing gives the assholes in your Amway upline more pleasure than destroying your relationship and finances because that what a bunch of fucking sick bastards they are.

Thanks to Amway this guy lost his job, his girlfriend, his family, and friends. That’s what the Amway cult does to people. And it really fucking pisses me off. More so that Amway does not offer any help to the people whose life it destroys. Fucking corporation that doesn’t give a shit about its employees. A company that actually cares about its employees offers financial assistance and therapy and other benefits. With Scamway you get nothing. Piss all. A life of misery.

This guy summed it up really nicely. The new Amway friends are only interested in the money they can get out of him. That is very true of all the assholes in your Amway upline. Any Amway upline. I could have written that because it happens to all of us. The assholes in your Amway upline prey on people and make them think they’re all big and important and a real business owner while picking their wallets and draining their bank accounts and running up the credit card debt. This guy has it right. Assholes in your Amway upline are a bunch of fucking scum bags.

And he brought up something I don’t think I’ve ever done a post on but every now and then someone leaves a comment that jogs my memory. What about those fucking assholes in your Amway upline who now all of a sudden are your mentors and coaches. Yeah I really want some fucking Amway asshole who is half my age, never owned a real business, never owned a house, drives a piece of shit car, and works a minimum wage job as my MENTOR. Fuck you Amway!

I’ll cover those fucking Amway mentors in another post.

But what the hell. Now’s a good time to send out a big old fuck you to every asshole in Amway that has fucked with someone’s life with the mentor bullshit.

Is Amway Really Worth Divorce and Bankruptcy?

my husband and I were IBO's for about 3 years until I got pregnant with my first child. During those 3 years, our relationship was tested to the max. We almost divorced numerous of times because we would argue about how I no longer wanted to do Amway, and he liked the association of our upline so felt like he was doing this for "our future". I get it, the people we were around weren't douchey, they were fun and we still talk to some of them. I liked a lot of the wives etc, but I also felt like most of them were trapped in the 1950's submissive lifestyle. NOT for me. I think being around those other men (who most of them were younger than us and doing "well" in the business, but not retirement level) made my husband felt important. We finally stopped going and no longer IBO's once I had my daughter and within a year we had to file bankruptcy because we were spending about $1000 on credit cards on products, books and CDs. I never felt comfortable at the meetings, and while we were apart of the business my husband was a completely different person than who he was when I married him. I am so thankful that we got out. Now we are married 8 years, 3 kids and stronger than ever!

I really appreciate when readers take the time to tell their stories so other readers know they’re not alone in what is happening to them.

This woman’s story is typical except fortunately they got out of Amway before having children because life would have been hell to the kids too if their parents were Amway ambots. 3 years is a little longer time spent in the Amway hell hole than most IBO’s who quit after a few months or within the first year or so when they see how much money they’re losing.

Yup almost getting divorced or getting divorced all part of the master plan of the assholes in your Amway upline. Nothing gives those sick bastards more pleasure than destroying other people’s relationships. Cult life! No place for people who refuse to submit to the great Amway cult leader! Usually the wife is the one who doesn’t want nothing more to do with the Amway cult so the cult members go on the attack. Well excuse us for wanting to save our finances and family you fucked up Amway assholes!!!! Get the hell away from us!

One thing that Amway cult leaders talk about is the ambots association with others and who they should associate with. Yeah well some of us don’t like to associate with fucking Amway liars so fuck off and leave us alone. Low life scumbags!

Submissive Amway wifes. Check. If you ain’t willing to be a Stepford Wife the Amway cult isn’t the right place for you.

$1000/month spending on Amway products and motivational materials is in the ballpark. I think I averaged it out once at $700/minimum for most CORE ambots. And of course the sky is the limit depending on how many shitty overpriced Amway products you got room on your credit card to buy.

Husband is a different person while in the Amway cult. Check. They turn from nice loving men into horrible ugly sneering bastards whose sole existence is to insult and put down others who are not in Amway.

Declaring bankruptcy thanks to the Amway scam. Check. Happens to many.

Glad to hear you got away from the Amway cult and your life is back on track.

An Ambot Wants To Be My Friend!!!????

Anyone can get fooled by an ambot and I’m living proof.

I go to the Y to swim and different classes depending on what I feel like doing that day. There’s a group of ladies in one of my classes and on Monday’s we get together afterward at Starbucks down the street. Its not like men aren’t invited. Its just rare that a man shows up for a class. And then comes back again. Once a month we get together at one of our houses and have a potluck lunch.

A new woman joined the class in September I think. Or maybe it was October. She’s around 40. Seems nice enough. We’ve got together a couple of times after class to go for a walk. She invited me over to their house for New Year’s Eve but we already had other plans. Seemed pretty sincere she wanted to be friends with me. Stopped by the shop a couple of times where I was covering and kept me company.

She was eager to host a potluck lunch at her place so her house was on this month. In fact now that I look back on it she was overly eager.

We pretty much drove to her house as a convoy and arrived at the same time. We stood outside waiting for everyone to get there before going to the door together, about a dozen of us. Our new friend greets the first woman at the door with a hug before letting her inside. Then she grabbed the next woman and hugged her too. OK. This is creepy and reminds me of Amway love bombing. Our exercise group is not THAT close. I could see it took some of the women by surprise. I backed the hell away and made it into the house bypassing the hug at the door. Half the women slipped in with me that way too.

The living room and dining room are one big area and its right there when you come into her house. The table is there and she tells everyone to put their food on it. She has set out plates, cutlery, and what the fuck is that? Its Amway cat piss water XS Energy Drinks. Holy shit! You have fucking gotta be kidding me. I mean YOU HAVE REALLY GOTTA BE FUCKING KIDDING ME!!!!! This bitch is in Amway and I didn’t figure it out. She hasn't tried to flog some of her goods on me before now. What kind of salesperson are you. I look back and realize she was showing a high interest in my life though at no time did she suggest we were fucking morons for having a different business than Amway so she must have been trying to get my confidence up and not alienating me by not insulting our business. I guess its pretty tough to randomly throw out at someone wouldn’t you like to own a business that makes you $75,000 or $100,000 a year when quite clearly we already are there. I look around at the end tables and shelves in the room and I see Amway things like place cards and Nutrilite vitamins. Get fucking real. NOBODY keeps vitamins in their living room. I’m still hanging on to the salad and I know I’m gonna leave cause I don’t want nothing to do with anyone in the Amway scam so I just confront her. “Are you in Amway.” She says “Why yes I am. Have you heard about Amway.” So I give her an earful on what I think about Amway and the fucking assholes in our upline and the lies and the bullshit we had to put up with. I tell her to save her money and her marriage and to get out of the scam now before more damage is done. I tell her I don’t have nothing to do with Amway and I’m leaving. Over half the ladies grab their stuff to leave too. Most people our age have had some contact with Amway and it ain’t never good. But then Lady Ambot starts crying. Holy shit this is really fucking creepy and I start to feel a little bad that I’ve knocked the truth into her. I tell her not to feel bad a lot of people have gotten scammed by this company. It can happen to anyone. Then she screams at me that I’m a dreamstealer and I’m negative and starts going into a tirade that I’ve heard dozens of times from our sack of shit Platinum. I’d think maybe she’s in the same line but our former cult leader got fired from Amway last year so it must be a different asshole same shit. So I just say fuck you and the Amway bus you rode in on and I get the hell out of there.

Everyone left with me after the ambitch tantrum. As we’re regrouping by the cars one of the women says lets go to her house so we all head there. When we’re eating lunch we talk about Ambitch. Some of the women say they’ve had an invitation of some sort from her, she’d invited them to a meeting to hear someone talk about health and sports supplements but no one went. That line might work on someone more athletic in their 20’s. When you get older you don’t want to go to meetings about that stuff. Especially now that we know its disguised as an Amway meeting.

Ambitch didn’t show up to the last couple of classes thank the great Amway god I suppose. Now that we’re on to her she’ll probably cancel her membership and go somewhere else to snipe prospects.

Am Ambot's Screwed Up Opinion On Franchises

What about franchises? Isn't that all it is, only online instead of brick & mortar?

You point out that IBOs can be fired, but couldn't McDonald's "fire" one of their franchise owners if they started selling incorrect products? It's a basic principle.

The above words of wisdom were left by some ambot on my post about where else can you get fired from your own business but in Amway. Its always nice when ambots stop by and say something so fucking stupid you just gotta share it in a separate post so everyone can poke fun at it.

I’m not sure if this guy has been smoking something funny or if he’s just fucked in the head!

He’s seriously comparing Amway with McDonalds? That’s the big giveaway that theirs is seriously something wrong with him.

Two completely different businesses. One is in the restaurant business selling fast food for lower prices than in sit down restaurants. The other is in the business of signing up commissioned salespeople to sell overpriced shitty products.

Fucked in the head ambot needs to look a little futher into the McDonald’s business plan. The restaurants in this chain are not all franchises. Some are and some are owned by the head office. Franchises are sold to restaurant owners in locations that McDonalds did a market survey on to ensure they’re still going to be profitable but not necessarily a location that head office wants ownership of. Just because a company like McDonalds has a chain of locations or branches does not mean that they are all franchises.

McDonald’s doesn’t have an online business selling their fast food. Can you imagine what it would like coming through the mail? Cold burgers and fries and melted ice cream cone mess.

There are companies that have many locations or branches that also have an online business where customers can shop on the Internet instead of going into the store and have their purchases mailed to them. Wal-Mart and other big box chains comes to mind.

Amway does not have any franchises that I know of. They have locations and warehouses in places besides their head office in Michigan but no franchise locations. I mean who’d want one? Most people would want to buy a franchise of something that is popular and has good sales in other words sells products that people want to buy at an affordable price. Amway don’t fit that criteria!

And here’s the thing about any business that is a chain. They do market research before opening a location. They make sure the customer base will be there. They don’t open a location too close to another one in their chain to oversaturate that market.

Even companies that have salesreps that go out to businesses and market their products or services don’t overlap the salespeople’s territories. They all have their own area to cover.

What about Amway? Does head office make sure their commissioned salespeople are not overlapping any areas? Hell no! That’s because Amway knows that their commissioned salespeople are not making sales to others. Their commissioned salespeople are Amway’s customers buying Amway products and pretending that they are buying from their own store. Brainwashed ambots! Amway has oversaturated the market with commissioned salespeople. There ain’t enough business for everyone. Could that be due to selling overpriced shitty products? Really hard to find customers and bullshit them into thinking they are paying more money for higher quality products when its all a lie. Amway’s products are generic to substandard compared to other products in the marketplace. Overpriced shit!

Sticking with what the dumb ass ambot said about franchises, does anyone know of an online only business that has franchises? That would be fucking dumb? Kind of like oversaturating the marketplace when only one location is needed. If its an online only business all sales can be made through the one website and keep all the profit in one place. No need to spread it out and have franchise online businesses. Let’s take Amazon probably the most successful online business out there. I don’t know what their sales were last year but the year before it was 42 billion. Amazon don’t have no franchises. They have offices and warehouses in different places but those ain’t franchises.

The dumb ass response the Amway ambot left is very typical of what I heard from Amway cult leaders. Whenever someone has a different opinion the Amway cult leader has to launch some distraction tactic and try to blind the opposing view with their fucked up bullshit.

Comparing Amway with some McDonald’s franchises. You gotta be fucking kidding me! What the fuck does one have to do with the other except some flimsy Amway excuse to bullshit and distract someone away from figuring out the truth.

Beware of Coffee Guzzling Amway Ambots

So I work for my dad's company right.. great company been working for it for years. Recently at my gym while working out, this guy approached me, he was like, "woah, are you a personal trainer.." (I'm not THAT big, but am fit) I was like, "Uhh.. (flattered), no I just workout a lot XD." He then goes on asking about where I work and if I'd like to meet up for coffee ETC. He then friend requests me on facebook. I barely know the guy.. Really strange, I was all like.. Da heq. He then sends me multiple facebook messages asking how I'm doing how my company's doing annnnnnd how successful he is and that he wants to meeeeet please. I'm like, why the heck does this guy want to meet me so bad? So basically, today's the 18th of January, he wants to meet up on Wednesday the 23rd of this month. I then did some snooping on his facebook page, it all just says he's an Independent Business Owner, IBO, does Leadership Organizations.. ETC.. Then it says " So glad I work for the number 1 independent business in the world" or something.. I was like, da heq? Then I find multiple links of Amway on his page. So he ends up being an Amway guy, and he posts tons of pictures of his large checks ETC. Riiiiiiight... So he yeah, should I go meet with this guy who probably has no desire to be my friend and only wants me to he raped by the big business. I'm not sure though.. After seeing he was with Amway, I google searched it and this blog came up. Now I'm like YIKES.. don't want to meet with him. I didn't even know why he wanted to meet with me, now I do... I'm happy with my business. So, Should I meet with this guy or tell him to GTFO bish.

This fellow left a comment last week but I figured I’d feature his post today in case he didn’t come back to read the post where he left the comment or if others missed it it still makes for a post topic.

My basic advice to him was be a no show. Amway ambots are used to it.

Why do Amway ambots all want to meet for coffee? They need all that coffee to stay awake for all those boring Amway cult meetings.

Meet for coffee is a common Amway pick up line. I can even write the script on the parts this poster left out. The ambot who wants to be his friend or gym buddy or whatever also told him he knows some hot shit business owner who’s really successful and making barrelfuls of money every month in his business and he only works 10 hours a week and he can tell you are a real sharp guy that has what it takes to be an entrepreneur too and he can’t promise you anything but why don’t you all meet for coffee.

The hot shit “business owner” will more than likely be a sack of shit Amway platinum. There will probably be another guy there some medical sports “expert” who will lie about how Amway’s Nutrilite vitamins and sports drinks are the best on the market and the amazing results you’ll see if you take them like running the New York Marathon in 25 minutes.

This gym buddy very likely only joined up with the gym after signing up with Amway so he could prospect. Depending on the gym if it has policies about not harassing other gym goers to sell your product or services you could even report this Amway son of a bitch.

This fellow was really smart. He did some research on the guy and it screamed Amway back at him so he searched on the Internet to find out more on Amway. When we were in Amway we were told the best people to prospect were under 30 because they’d likely never heard of Amway and how it’s a pyramid scheme and how people are abused and the emotional and financial distress they go through when they sign up for the Amway cult. Blogs like this are very helpful to get information out to the masses on what its really like being inside Amway. Other bloggers focus on the poor business opportunity. I focus on the assholes you have to put up with in your Amway upline and the bullshit and lies and how nothing brings these fuckers more happiness than destroying other people’s lives: bankruptcy, foreclosure, divorce. That’s what the future holds for people unfortunate enough to get sucked into the Amway cult.

And very telling that the ambot’s Facebook page says he works for the number one company in the world. First off I was unaware that Amway was number one that’s just another ambot lie. But the telling thing is he posted he works for this company. That’s right. Works. A commissioned salesperson. And a lowly paid one at that. Most ambots lie about owning their own business and working for themselves not someone else.

And here’s the thing. This guy doesn’t want to be your friend. Oh he’ll be sucking all over you while prospecting you to join the Amway cult but all he really wants from you is your money. His share of the commission he makes on the Amway products you buy and can sell ha ha!!! To other people. Yeah everyone really wants to go out and buy shitty overpriced Amway products judging by Amway’s sales figures that 3% of sales are made to people who are not Amway IBO’s because Amway is all about buying from your own store and being your own best customer. What they fail to say is you’ll be your only customer and who can stay in business if you have no other customer than yourself.

Anyone who wants to be your friend because of the money they can make off you isn’t no real friend. Dump the Amway bastard and don’t waste any more time on him.

Amway Ambots Schizoid Paranoid About All Things Negative

I’ve never seen people get so freaked out paranoid about anything they consider negative as I did when I was in the Amway cult.

The screaming and shrieking and carrying on about anything the cult leader decides is negative. You’d think with all that schizoid paranoid behavior the bastard had just seen a snake or a spider the way they’re freaking out.

Amway ambots live in another dimension run by the beliefs of their cult leaders. Anyone with differing opinions or any products that don’t have the Amway logo slapped on them are labeled negative by these crazy bastards.

We’d have to sit in on Amway brainwashing meetings where the Amway cult leader would bitch away for an hour or more about all the businesses closing down and any other doom and gloom cause they’re full of this bullshit. Isn’t that saying negative you fucked up schizoid paranoid Amway asshole! Of course all the negative shit that Amway cult leaders say ends up with the only solution to avoid this negative happening to you too is to own your own Amway business.

Sign up with Amway and avoid all things negative!

No! You got that backwards! Sign up with Amway and be doomed to all things negative and abuse and bullshit until you have enough and say to Amway fuck you I'm outta here!!!!

Amway ambots live in some fucked up make believe world where nothing negative ever happens. Instead they make gazillions of dollars in Amway and have happy lives in the land of sunshine and lollipops.

And god help you if you dare to say anything that some asshole in your Amway upline thinks to be negative. They will shit bricks. They’ll scream and carry on and stamp their feet in a full fledged Amway ambot tantrum. They’ll freak out and chastise you for saying negative. All this just because you told the truth about what XS tastes like. Or that you just noticed the Amway literature that states only .0000245% of IBO’s make money in Amway. Or that you read something on the Internet about Amway and have questions about it.

And then watch the screech fest begin. What the fuck are you doing looking on the Internet thats bathroom wall graffiti.

Yup Amway ambots are schizoid paranoid about all things they think negative.

The problem with fucked up Amway ambots is they can’t tell the difference between negative and the truth. And then they look like a bunch of fucking assholes when the paranoid schizoid freak out screeching comes out. That’s what happens when you’re part of the Amway cult you’re brainwashed that your opinion must be the same as the cult leaders opinion and you no longer have the ability to figure out what the truth is. According to Amway assholes the truth must be buried because it is negative.

Now’s a good time to send another big old FUCK YOU to the assholes in my Amway upline for trying to force their screwed up negative beliefs on others.

Wanna Trade Amway Business Cards?

When we were in Amway the assholes in our upline told us that now we were “business owners” to figure out a business name to call the company. To hell with going through any proper measures to legally register the business name just in case someone else has already legally registered it. Just choose a name and use it. And then because you “own your own business” you can give yourself any title that you choose.

Then the ambots are told to make up business cards to pass out to potential prospects and customers so they’d run out and buy business card sheets so they could make up their own cards on their computer. Mostly ambots passed out these business cards among themselves and they would all ooohhh and aaaahhhh. I saw more fucked up pieces of shitty pretend businesses on these cards than you could imagine.

Like any nightmare I don’t remember any phony ass business names that ambots chose for their phony business but some of the titles I remember. And the business cards looked like shit. The home made jobs where you use some clip art program on your computer to put a beach or mansion or sports car or sacks of money on the business card. I don’t remember anyone using Amway logo but I do remember some of them using pictures of Amway products which is probably a violation of Amway’s policy but ambots don’t give a flying fuck about those kind of details.

So I’d get passed these business cards that would read something like:

My Fucked Up Phony Ass Amway Business

Asshole Ambot

President and CEO of Bullshit

The titles were all over the place: president, CEO, manager, vice president of operations – those vice president titles would be on the wife’s business cards! That’s how it is in Amway. The wives are always second. Oh what the fuck am I thinking! Wives are way further down than second!

That’s part of running a phony business with a phony business name. You can give yourself a phony business title to make you look all big and important.

These ambots sit around at work all day dreaming of how rich they’re going to be thanks to Amway and how they own their own business and how that makes them better than everyone else they work with and they got the business cards to prove it.

Putting on a business suit, pretending how busy you are on your cell phone, and playing 8pm warrior going to Amway meetings, and passing out phony ass business cards with fake names and titles does not make you a real business owner.

Just Quit Amway Already!

I get tons of people showing up at my blog after searching for “how to quit Amway”. I’ve written about this before but it still amazes me that dozens of people every week are searching for this answer. And there is always a spike in these how to quit Amway around the time of Amway’s major functions.

Do people hit the Internet when they want to quit their Costco membership. It’s the same thing. Costco is also a buying club that charges an annual fee to shop at their store.  They’d like you to shop at their store so they can make a profit but if you don’t shop there and still pay the annual fee then at least they’re still making money off you. If you decide not to shop at Costco anymore just don’t renew and pay your annual fee. Then find somewhere else to shop.

Do people go through the same Internet searches when they want to find out how to quit going to the gym? The answer seems logical enough. You don’t get in your car and drive to the gym. The gym still charges you a monthly membership fee whether you show up or not. They don’t care if you show up just as long as they have your money.

It’s the same way with Amway. They’d like you to shop their store so they can make a profit off you but they don’t give a fuck either whether or not you show up just as long as they get your money!

With the gym if you don’t want to go no more and you don’t want them to keep charging your credit card every month for the membership fee then you got to talk to the receptionist and fill out a form saying you quit and there is usually a waiting period a month or more so they can get one more payment out of you whether or not you show up to use the gym equipment.

With Scamway the assholes in your upline are always out to get you to pay for the next Amway function while you’re still attending whatever useless shitty brainwashing Amway function you’re currently attending. That’s money in their pocket whether or not you show up. Just try to get a refund if you quit before you go. Those bastards have already spent your money. Tough shit!

You gotta pay a yearly membership fee to keep buying shitty overpriced Amway products. It’s a buyer’s club no different than Costco except I think Costco’s annual fee is cheaper and the prices are better and the products are better and the selection is better than what Amway offers. And Costco isn’t referred to as a cult with a bunch of fucked up cult leaders running around brainwashing people while you're shopping in their store.

Is it really that hard to quit Amway or is the hard part the emotional attachment the ambots have for the assholes in their Amway upline? Some people actually claim to like those bastards and the love bombing they get. They like this expensive social club they belong to that keeps them busy all the time. For those of us who don’t like none of that shit and the shitheads doling it out its no problem walking away.

So to quit Amway:

1.       Don’t renew your annual membership fee. Or if you already did, suck it up and write it off and walk away.

2.      Don’t answer phone calls, texts, emails, or the door if its those fucking assholes in your Amway upline.

3.      Don’t listen to Amway’s brainwashing CD’s. Throw that shit out. Same with any Amway books or other bullshit motivational material. Into the garbage!

4.      Don’t buy any more overpriced shitty Amway products. No matter how much bitching the assholes in your Amway upline do. If you don’t buy products the upline don’t make money off you. If you’re on any kind of monthly automatic order system, cancel it or go in and delete everything or make it zero or whatever you have to do to get the order not to arrive.

5.      Change your credit card number if necessary so Amway can’t charge you anything more.

6.      Cancel any of the bullshit business propaganda the assholes in your Amway upline forced you into signing up for : Communikate, premier membership to WWDB, World Wide Dream Builders, or whatever cult sect you belong to. Now that one does take some work in the form of phone calls to get the monthly charges to stop just like the gym thing.

7.      Don’t attend any more Amway brainwashing meetings or functions.

8.      Just say NO if any of the fuckers in your Amway upline harass you to come to meetings or buy Amway products. The insults, abuse, and bullying will start because that’s all part of what makes a good Amway cult leader. Hang up the phone or slam the door in the fucker’s face. You don’t have to stand there like a good little ambot and take it.

9.      Once the assholes in your Amway upline realize they won’t make money off you no more they’ll drop you. They’re only your friends as long as you keep forking over money which means they were never friends at all. They will also banish all the other cult followers from having anything to do with you. They think they’re cutting you off when its actually the other way around. You’re cutting them off.

10.   If nothing else just curse them out. Amway assholes are a bunch of prudes and the language will horrify them and they’ll start screeching about don’t say negative.

And there you have it. Make a decision to quit and then follow through by cancelling everything that has to do with Amway out of your lives.

Dodging the Amway Bullet

Anna, I just became a big fan of this blog. I *almost* started seriously dating someone heavily into Amway. I really loved her, I really cared....but thank God I never did. Guess why? Amway. I hate Amway more than any other company in the world. They are not even a legitimate business in my opinion. They are in the business of manipulating people into forking over money. It is horrible, sick, and wrong. I heard a rumor somewhere that the French government ran them out of their country and pursued them in the US Courts for a while. Thankfully, I'm married to a sweet person who loves me and is definitely not into Amway! However, I do work hard, have a strong desire to try my hand at REAL entrepreneurship someday. Best wishes to you. Tell your ex-Ambot to think about exploring real entrepreneurship, something that solves a problem they want to solve or permits them to be creative in a way they deeply enjoy. Best wishes!

Yup I’d say you dodged the bullet on this one! There are very few single women in Amway so your ex is definitely in the minority. Amway or at least the assholes who go around leading Amway meetings gush about how Amway is a family business. But that ain’t gonna stop them from scamming anyone single or married out of their money. I wonder if the single women in Amway got there because the asshole that sponsored them told them it’s a good place to meet men who are going somewhere. Yeah if you consider to bankruptcy court as going somewhere!

Amway is a good old boy’s club with meetings and trainings for the men on how to be male chauvinist pigs and that the women in their lives should have some kind of unnatural devotion to you like a Stepford Wife. Since the 60’s women haven’t taken too kindly to that kind of male attitude. Amway isn’t a place for single women. Hell Amway isn’t a place for NO ONE!

Amway is not a legitimate business. At best it can be described as being a commissioned salesperson for Amway. Mostly its belonging to an expensive social club where the assholes in your Amway upline bully you into overbuying from your “own” Amway store. And if you’re a business owner and you’re the only customer that sounds like a one way trip to poor street.

Lurking in the Shed….

There’s a place where I buy persimmons at every year out in the country. Make it a half day drive and do lunch. I called a friend to see if she’d like to come with me.

She tells me her daughter’s new home has a couple of persimmon trees and her daughter doesn’t eat them and called mom to tell her they’re ripening if she wanted them. Apparently mom doesn’t like persimmons enough to pick them herself but she likes to buy them in a box from someone else who’s picked them. Yeah well me too. You know we’re at that age. But for free we’ll go check them out. Its closer and we can still do lunch.

We get there and the persimmons look OK and we both tried one and they passed the taste test. We can take a bunch. Oops. Which one of us was in charge of bringing a box to pack those suckers home? Now if we were in Amway we’d point fingers at the other guy because no one takes responsibility for nothing and are quick to cast blame cause that's what Amway assholes do. Normal people don’t point fingers and throw out accusations. They work together to see how they can fix it. Its no problem. Daughter says they have some boxes from moving stored in the shed. They’re flattened so just grab a couple and she’ll bring the packing tape outside and put them together for us.

We go in the shed. The kind of stuff you usually see in a shed. Garden tools. A couple of planters. On a shelf are paint cans and a bottle with some pink stuff in it. I thought it was brake fluid or transmission fluid but it looked like a water bottle. I look closer and see oh fuck its an Amway product Perfect Water. And someone put car engine fluid of some type in there? Weird. Then I look again and its flavored Perfect Water. Its got one of those immunity supplements in it so this is a new product since we quit Scamway.

I can’t hold it in. I ask my friend is your daughter in Scamway? She’s surprised and says she doesn’t think so and hopes to hell she isn’t because she knows all the shit I went through thanks to the fucking assholes in our Amway upline. I point to the water bottle and tell her it’s a Scamway product. We both notice its covered in a lot of dust. Daughter shows up and mom confronts her. You’re not in that fucking Amway cult are you? Daughter denies it. Mom points at the evidence. That’s not mine says the daughter. None of that stuff on the shelf we put in there. Those planters were left here too. And that spare tire ain’t ours. She picks up the bottle and looks at it more closely. Throw that shit out I tell her.

But now it becomes a whole lot clearer. Daughter bought the house at a good price due to a foreclosure. Ah ha! The former owners were in Amway.

Get Fired From Your Own Business

Does anyone know where else you can “own your own business” and get fired except in Amway?

We own our own business. We own the real estate the shop sits. Nobody else involved. We didn’t sign our lives away to anyone to own our own business. We make the rules and policies. We decide what’s for sale and the price tag. We decide the hours of operation. We decide who we’re going to employ. We don’t make our employers pay us to work here. When the time comes that we no longer want to run our business we will sell it. Hopefully we’ll sell the shop at the same time. If not the building can be sold separately. This is what its like when you own your own business. You make the decision when you want to leave it and how you want to leave it.

 We own our business. No one can fire us.

In Scamway IBO’s are brainwashed to believe they “own their own business”. And where else can you own your own business for $50? Or $150 if you buy a kit of shitty Amway products at the time you register. And I’m just throwing those $$ numbers out. I don’t know what the current price to sign your life away to the Amway cult is. Could have increased a few bucks. And that $50 must be paid each year to Scamway if you want to keep “owning your own business”.

People who own their own business and the real estate it sits on don’t have to pay anyone an annual fee for the privilege of owning their own business.

That sounds more like the difference between someone who owns their own business and someone who pays to belong to a shopping club.

As part of signing your life away to the Amway cult to “own your own business” an IBO has to sign a commissioned salesperson agreement that the upline bullshits them into believing is “owning your own business” and gives the title to the cult follower IBO Independent Business Owner. Just cause they throw a phony ass title at you doesn’t make it any truer that you’re a real business owner. Amway has all kinds of policies IBO’s must adhere to as part of the rules of “owning your own business”.

People who own their own business don’t sign anything or adhere to anyone else’s rules to own their own business.

When Amway decides to fire an IBO commissioned salesperson for whatever reason – they’re fired. Out on their ass. Tough shit. You’re outta here!

What the fuck? If you “own your own business” how can you get fired?

You can’t! That’s the difference between legitimate business owners who own real businesses sitting on real land as opposed to Amway commissioned salespeople who don’t own piss all.

One of the ways I see a lot of IBO’s violating Amway’s terms of conduct is yapping about Amway and their A+ rating or triple A rating or whatever the fuck it is with the Better Business Bureau. In Amway’s code of conduct it says IBO’s can’t do that because it ain’t true. Isn’t that a fireable offense for violating company policy? That don’t stop the ambots. Ambots constantly leave comments about Amway and the BBB rating on my blog. At every Scamway meeting we attended the assholes in our upline bragged about the BBB like anyone really gives a shit. If a complaint is filed with the BBB and the company that is being complained about responds to the BBB before the deadline, even if the response doesn’t make the complainer happy, the BBB gives the company a good rating. That’s all it means. Someone in customer service is good at responding to mail before the BBB’s deadline. Probably a full time position for someone in Amway’s I-don’t-give-a-shit department.

Our former Platinum got fired by Amway. Maybe Amway received enough complaints about him bragging about Amway’s BBB rating and someone was tired of dealing with complaints about him all the time and showed him the fuck you you’re outta here door.

Low level IBO’s get fired probably a lot more than we’ll ever know about. We only hear about Diamonds who get fired from Amway. Diamond is what IBO’s strive for because the liars in their upline tell them they’ll be making millions of dollars every year even though Amway’s literature says the average Diamond earns around 150k. Amway cult leaders gotta keep the IBO’s coming in and signing up with lies about how much money they’ll be making as a “business owner”. I think that might be another fireable offense with Scamway too lying about income. If Amway fired every IBO who lied about income they’d have no one left!!!

Platinum is another level that IBO’s strive for. Its the first major level they reach on the way to going Diamond.

Amway can go around willy nilly firing Diamonds and any other IBO’s. So much for owning your own business!

There are better businesses you can own. Really own. Where you don’t have to live with the fear of getting fired for being a business owner and owning your own business. Only Amway does that. Real business owners who own real legitimate businesses don’t go around worrying about being fired.

Yeah get fired from your own business. Freedom!

Ambot New Year’s Resolution

New Year’s hits and all of a sudden I’m getting a ton of people showing up at my blog after googling “Freedom flush that stinking job.” The ambot’s New Year’s resolution! Its all part of the attitude the assholes in the Amway upline teach their cult followers about hating their job and being disrespectful about their job, their boss, and their coworkers. Fuck its all about being disrespectful and insulting to anyone and anything that isn’t part of Amway!

I don’t remember hearing “Freedom! Flush that stinking job!” at any cult meetings I attended. Not saying it wasn’t chanted. I just don’t remember. If the assholes in our Amway upline wanted the cult followers to do this chant I didn’t participate so that might be why I don’t remember. The only time for sure I remember hearing the phrase “Freedom! Flush That Stinking Job!” was during the NBC Dateline story about Amway. For anyone looking for those links, its on Youtube:

Part 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5xu6bIFSeE

Part 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oc4-34V75SQ

And don’t all those morons look like they’re in a trance while they’re chanting?

Even more disturbing is what legitimate business operates in this manner? Amway the corporation tries to convince themselves and everyone else that they’re a legitimate business and for sure their ambots try their damnedest to convince everyone that Amway is not a scam but then you see a video like this. It screams CULT! It screams SCAM! I’ve been to a few business meetings over the years and never have I witnessed anything like that with any legitimate company.

To the best of my recollection I never heard that chant at any Amway meetings I attended. Could be another line of sponsorship that gets the cult followers to scream out that chant or perhaps the cult leaders decided to lay off the chanting for awhile following the Dateline story.

In the documentary Amway cult leaders stand on the stage and get their followers fired up leading them in the chant “Freedom! Flush That Stinking Job!”. The unfortunate reality for the cult followers are that they won’t find freedom and they won’t flush their stinking job. This is a scam! The only people in the arena who have the freedom to flush their stinking job are the cult leaders on the stage. They are ripping off their cult followers charging them big bucks to come into the arena and listen to their bullshit motivational speeches. The cult leaders are peddling dreams that won’t come true for their followers.

Don’t flush that stinking job! You need it to pay for Amway functions and make your cult leaders rich!

“Freedom! Flush That Stinking Job!” That’s the New Year’s resolution battle cry of Amway warriors.

Those ambots need to stop chanting and get a clue about what really stinks around here.
