Amway Responsible For Rage And Hate

There is something about Amway that creates hate and rage. To those of us who used to be in “the business” and have done some research and read other stories we can understand why the rage. Amway with the assistance of their cult leaders causes financial distress, debt, bankruptcy, divorces, destroys relationships, and screws people up emotionally.

A searcher found their way to this blog typing in: “I’ll just have to kill everyone at Amway”.

My first thought is this person has just got off the phone with one of those useless unhelpful bastards that work in Amway’s (lack of) customer service department.

I’ve dealt with those miserable assholes with the I-don’t-give-a-flying-fuck attitude. It is a lesson in frustration and futility that’s for sure!

I do not like Amway. I do not like people who are involved in Amway. I don’t like the lazy ass bastards who answer the customer service phone at Amway. That doesn’t mean I personally wish anyone connected to Amway ill harm or death but then I like to think I’m a rational, law abiding person. I’m one of many thousands who swallowed the losses, chalked it up as a bad learning opportunity, a horrible business, and walked away.

And then got involved in a real fun blog cursing out fucking Amway assholes!

I can see how there would be a small percentage of people that Amway has driven over the edge of despair. The phrase going postal comes to mind. If someone is having difficulty with an Amway product or their Amway upline and phones in to head office for assistance and are met with “there’s nothing we can do for you” or “Amway is not responsible for what is said at Amway meetings” or “Amway is not responsible for the IBO’s we hire”. You call in to head office for assistance and nobody gives a shit. You’ve lost a lot of money in the Amway scam and all you get from customer service is “ha ha we fucked you over!”

Someone voicing thoughts to kill everyone at Amway shows emotional imbalance. Maybe quite rightly so after what Amway has put them through. But killing everyone at Amway? Unfortunately this is not the first searcher who has put in similar criteria.

People who work at Amway are no different than people who work for other companies. The most common reason people accept jobs and stay with them is because its a paycheck. Most employees have no particular loyalty to their employer. If a better job comes along they are out of there. Sure some of us who were involved in Amway think that only a low life scum sucking son of a bitch would actually work for a company that causes so much misery around the world but when people have bills to pay and need a job who are we to judge why they work for a scumbag employer. I wrote another post where I said Amway employees are no different than other corporations. Most companies only 20% of the employees actually like working there and excel at their position. 80% of employees its just a paycheck and they are only putting in time while waiting for something better to come along. This is obvious to those of us who have had the misfortune to phone in to Amway’s head office for assistance and have dealt with employees at the customer service desk who don’t give a shit and who aren’t helpful. I see this a lot in Google searches with people showing up at my blog who are frustrated after trying to get assistance from Amway’s help desk which should be more aptly titled the unhelpful desk or the I-don’t-give-a-shit desk. Either title the customer phoning in rarely gets good service. What else do you expect? Chances are very good the person answering the phone at Amway is one of the 80% of employees who doesn’t give a shit about their job.

I’ve had the experience of working for a company many years ago with a weirdo employee - fortunately in another department! - who would fly into rages. I always said if he ever lost his job that I wouldn’t want to keep working for that company because he’s the only person I’ve ever known that I thought might show up with a gun and start shooting. When he got laid off I moved on myself about 3 months later. Even though I’d never had any run ins with him and shook his hand and wished him well on his last day, I had my doubts about his emotional stability and I’m sure not going to work for any company where I have any cause of concern about my personal safety.

In case anyone’s wondering a few months after I left the building was sold and the company merged with another company and relocated about 20 miles away. Probably too confusing for him to try to track anyone down.

Likewise I would never work for a controversial company that inspires rage in people and has received death threats. You just never know when that gun wielding crazy person is going to storm through the door.

Amway is getting search engine hits from people wishing death to the employees. I would never work for a company where people have voiced death wishes towards employees. Maybe some of those Amway employees that are surfing the Internet and reading my blog when they’re probably supposed to be actually getting some work done will think twice about their choice of employer and death threats. No job is worth dying for.

  1. Anna, when somebody says "I'd like to kill that guy!" it's almost always just verbal hyperbole. He doesn't actually mean it, since it's just his way of letting off steam.

    About Amway's refusal to answer any questions or give an IBO any help with a problem, it's done for legal reasons. Amway is terrified of doing anything to stir up trouble with the various AMO subsystems, and since the AMOs are legally independent from the Ada, Michigan office, Amway really can't do much to help an IBO when he has a dispute with up-line.

    This is cowardly and gutless, of course. But Amway's only purpose is to rake in money, nothing else. The company really doesn't give a flying fuck about the problems that a lowly IBO has with his up-line. So Amway tells its "Help Desk" to just blow off all the complaints.

    Amway is largely self-defeating, since the great majority of new IBOs quit within a year or so. The compensation is so lousy, and the demands are so intrusive, that persons just give up. The business depends on the constant "churn" of new recruits to take their place. For this reason, the key to destroying Amway isn't any kind of violence, but the short-circuiting of the recruitment process.

    Anti-Amway blogs are doing it, and doing it effectively. As more and more people come to these blogs and read the horror stories about Amway, two things will happen. First, those who are not in Amway will stay out of it. And second, those who are in it will start to wonder why the hell they are staying and being ripped off.

    The anti-Amway blogs have prevented thousands of persons from signing up in the rotten racket, and convinced thousands more to quit. This scares the shit out of Ada, Michigan.

    1. Anonymous - I agree when most people say I'm going to kill you it's just their way of saying I'm going to kick your ass or I'm super pissed off with you.

      However when said with anything Amway it could be a real death threat. Too many Amway Ambots are pure shit evil and too many people believe evil should die.

      We can only hope that blogs like this scare the shit out of Amway. The truth about their MLM scam and many shared horror stories of being abused by the fucking assholes in the Amway upline, destroyed families and financial and emotional distress. These are real stories.

      But Amway is arrogant enough to think what's posted on the Internet doesn't matter and that us bloggers make no difference to their sales and recruiting. Their sales have declined by about 10% for many years now and its because of brave people sharing their stories online so more lives aren't destroyed.

      Our reasons for blogging are not financial. We do this because we don't want to see other people getting scammed out of their life savings or going into debt chasing the Amway nightmare.

Comments are moderated but we publish just about everything. Even brainwashed ambots who show up here to accuse us of not trying hard enough and that we are lazy, quitters, negative, unchristian dreamstealers. Like we haven’t heard that Amspeak abuse from the assholes in our upline!

If your comment didn’t get published it could be one of these reasons:
1. Is it the weekend? We don’t moderate comments on weekends. Maybe not every day during the week either. Patience.
2. Racist/bigoted comments? Take that shit somewhere else.
3. Naming names? Public figures like politicians and actors and people known in Amway are probably OK – the owners, Diamonds with CDs or who speak at functions, people in Amway’s publicity department who write press releases and blogs. Its humiliating for people to admit their association with Amway so respect their privacy if they’re not out there telling everyone about the love of their life.
4. Gossip that serves no purpose. There are other places to dish about what Diamonds are having affairs or guessing why they’re getting divorced. If you absolutely must share that here – don’t name names. I get too many nosy ambots searching for this. Lets not help them find this shit.
5. Posting something creepy anonymously and we can’t track your location because you’re on a mobile device or using hide my ass or some other proxy. I attracted an obsessed fan and one of my blog administrators attracted a cyberstalker. Lets keep it safe for everyone. Anonymous is OK. Creepy anonymous and hiding – go fuck yourselves!
6. Posting something that serves no purpose other than to cause fighting.
7. Posting bullshit Amway propaganda. We might publish that comment to make fun of you. Otherwise take your agenda somewhere else. Not interested.
8. Notice how this blog is written in English? That's our language so keep your comments in English too. If you leave a comment written in another language then we either have to use Google translate to put it into English so everyone can understand what you wrote or we can hit the Delete button. Guess which one is easier for us to do?
9. We suspect you're a troublemaking Amway asshole.
10. Your comment got caught in the spam filter. Gets checked occasionally. We’ll get to you eventually and approve it as long as it really isn’t spam.
