Hiring Amway Ambots Is A REALLY Bad Idea

I’ve been to enough Amway meetings where the Platinum or Diamond speaker shows contempt to anyone who has a job.

They sneer at people who have jobs. They put down people who have jobs. They criticize people who have jobs. They demand to know why IBO’s are working for other people.

The brainwashing just goes on and on and on.

Soon the IBO’s duplicate their upline and sneer at people who have jobs and show contempt for people who work for someone else. These same IBO’s hold down jobs themselves. When we were in Amway no one in our line other than ourselves were self-employed and very few crossline were self-employed.

Most IBO’s are employed by others and armed with the hateful things they have to say about people with J.O.B.s it doesn’t take long for their shitty attitude to infiltrate the workplace. They criticize their co-workers and probably their boss because they’re all fucking morons for having a J.O.B. and working for someone else instead of themselves. They probably start complaining about how much they hate their job and they can’t wait until they’re finally free, thanks to Amway. Better keep your mouths shut or that day might come sooner than you think! And you won’t be financially free when it does!

Employees that complain about how much they hate their job usually don’t last too long in the workplace. They either quit or they’re fired. No workplace needs that kind of negativity bringing the moral down or irritating the other employees who have to listen to the Amway drunken IBO spout off their brainwashed bullshit.

I was amazed at the number of IBO’s in our line or crossline who became unemployed in a period of several months. I could certainly understand why their employers didn’t want to keep them around because they all had this brainwashed “J.O.B.’s Suck” attitude. I never saw any of them find another J.O.B. while we were still in Amway and most of them resorted to taking odd jobs wherever they could find them.

Being the nice guy that he is my Ambot tried to help a few of them out whenever he heard of someone who needed casual labor help doing maintenance around the house or short term help for their business. Sometimes he even heard of people looking for permanent employment rather than short term gigs but Ambots weren’t usually interested. It’s beneath a “business owner” to work for someone else.

I talked about our friend who’s a painter in a previous post who occasionally hires helpers for large jobs. Ambot managed to get an unemployed IBO on as his helper. It wasn’t a particularly large job either. About a 1600 square foot house, 2 stories, 3 bedrooms but it needed painting inside and out. Shouldn’t take 2 men too long especially since it was empty and being repainted prior to the new owners moving in. Getting the inside painted first was obviously the priority.

Our painter friend will never hire that IBO again because he was slower than shit. He did a good job but according to our friend, the IBO was S..L..O..W..... For $15/hour I could see why he wanted to drag the job on as long as he could especially since he had no other work lined up. In addition to being a too slow painter, the IBO further annoyed our friend by spending huge amounts of time on his cell phone, calls and texts. If that wasn’t bad enough he brought a boom box and blasted out the latest Amway CD from his tools order.

Yeah I wouldn’t hire that bastard again either!

Ambot actually found another day job for him. Some friends of ours decided to turn their shed in the back yard into a clubhouse for their teenage son. The interior, about 10’ x 15’, needed to be sanded down in preparation for painting. There was some tool they were able to rent for sanding but neither of them wanted to sand so Ambot recommended the slower than shit bastard but cautioned he was really S..L..O..W..... They didn’t care as long as he was conscientious and did a good job. Ambot suggests rather than paying him by the hour that they pay the bastard $150 for the job whether it takes him 5 hours or 10 hours. So they all agree on that. For some reason we ended up getting involved in picking up the sander from the rental place. I guess our friends couldn’t get there before going to work. I picked up the tool and brought it over to their shed. Ambot phoned slow-as-shit to tell him to get it back to the tool rental place before they closed at 5pm. The bastard arrived around 9 or 10am and started work. At 2:30 he phoned Ambot to say he was nearly done and ready to start cleaning up. I’m not sure how long it takes to sweep up or vacuum the sawdust in what’s a relatively small room that is bare but I’m sure my friends or their son could have done it when they got home probably take them no more than 10 minutes. Around 5:10 the bastard phones Ambot to double check the address of the tool rental place. Ambot is pissed! What part of “they’re closed at 5pm” did he have trouble understanding? The bastard decides to drive over there anyway and see if someone is still at work. No luck. He eventually brings the sander back to our house. The rental place opens at 7am and if we can get it back by 7:30 our friends won’t be charged an extra day. So now I’m inconvenienced because I have to haul my ass out of bed early the next morning to return the damned sander.

We never recommended that bastard for any other odd jobs. I mean instead of getting the tool back to the shop - about 10 minute drive away - he stayed inside the shed fucking around on his phone for 2 hours!

Our friends needed more help with their shed renos into teen clubhouse. They wanted to get a phone line and cablevision line out there so they could put in a TV and phone. Another friend of theirs was going to wire it from their house to the shed and said they should dig a trench so he could feed the wires through plastic pipes and bury it. They needed a trench dug and I’m not sure why they didn’t get their teenager and some of his friends to dig it but they didn’t. Ambot knows another out of work IBO a young fellow who looks pretty strong. He’s offered $100 to dig a trench about a foot deep and 25 feet from the house to the shed. Shouldn’t take more than a couple of hours because its really nice soft soil, easy digging. It takes him 4 hours because of all the time he spends on his cell phone. But he got the job done.

I would never hire an IBO for any job for the reasons I’ve already listed. They’re negative toward work, they waste too much time on the phone, they want to crank the volume on Amway CD’s, and they have a bad attitude. You pay somebody to get a job done you want them to do the work and not fuck around with texting, phone calls, recruiting prospects, selling Amway shit, blasting Amway motivational CD’s, and otherwise being annoying.

Yes I discriminate! Lazy ass Amway IBO’s need not apply!

 

Memories Of Obnoxious Amway Know-It-All Losers

The last time we ran the Join The Amway Cult And Become An Obnoxious Know It All post, one of our readers remembers what it’s like dealing with those Amway bastards.

 

I remember the Amway “know-it-all” types very well from the 1970s. God, they were obnoxious. They always had a kind of smirking, smug look on their faces, as if you were a naive fool and they were the ones who were knowledgable and sophisticated, especially if they happened to be older than you. And yes --in point of fact they were just hapless buffoons who didn’t know anything.

Much of this attitude could be traced to the self-congratulatory nature of the entire Amway racket, where you are constantly love-bombed about how brilliant and wonderful you are just for joining up. But some of it is from the kind of guy who typically joins Amway -- a small-town schmuck who is somewhat shrewd and clever, just enough to run his little dipshit business (a candy store, a barber shop, a gas station, etc.), and who thinks that he’s a sharp guy with a nose for a bargain.

I saw plenty of these dopes in Amway. They always talked down to others, as if they were superior and wiser. They walked around in baggy pants with suspenders, with their hands in their pockets jingling their change. They always “knew better” than you. They pretended to be skeptical about anything and everything that you mentioned. Whatever you told them, they’d smile patronizingly and say “Yeah, well... I know better than that.” They were typical small-town nobodies pretending to be special.

Amway depends on the inbred arrogance of the stupid, small-town man.

 

Join The Amway Cult And Become An Obnoxious Know It All

Another thing that really pissed me of about the Amway ambots I had to put up with was that every single one of those bastards was an expert on EVERYTHING! You name it those fuckers knew everything about the subject whether or not it had anything to do with Amway. The biggest bunch of bullshitters I’ve ever met in my life have all been Amway assholes.

The arrogance of those pompous Amway bastards is something I have never dealt with on such a high level of mass concentration before our time in the Amway hellhole. Fortunately it is something I’ve never had to put up with since we got the hell away from those Amway assholes!

You name it those Amway assholes pretend they’re an expert at it. I guess the fact that they run pretend businesses and they’re pretend business owners gives them all the credibility they need to be pretend experts on every subject under the sun.

I’m not saying that there are not ambots out there who don’t have expertise in certain areas through job, education, or life experiences. What I’m calling out are the Amway assholes who just be virtue of the fact that they are Amway IBO’s means that now makes them  card carrying know it alls. 

Those ambots are all experts when it comes to cars. Too bad none of them take their own fucking advice and drive around in shitmobiles that are 20 or 30 years old and always breaking down due to lack of maintenance. By that age many cars do run into mechanical problems and need to be completely overhauled. Being an Amway IBO means you are constantly broke because you have to hand over all your money to the Amway cult leaders so there is no money leftover for car maintenance or to save up to buy a new car.

Those Amway assholes are experts on all things plumbing and electrical even though most of them have never picked up a hammer or a screwdriver. I saw a house an Amway “expert” was working on. Some ceiling lights were falling out of their fixtures and he said he kept getting electrical shocks when he was touching sockets and switches. Oh gee I wonder why! The tile in the bathroom was not grouted right and squint and uneven. He was taking forever to paint because he had to keep stopping what he was doing to deal with the phone - calls and texts from the assholes in his Amway upline.

Those Amway assholes are experts when it comes to filling out your income tax. “Everything in Amway is a tax deduction! Claim that toilet paper!”

Those Amway assholes are “counsellors” even though they’ve never taken any formal training in counselling for behavior problems, emotional disorders, marital issues, etc. etc. “The facts don’t count!” Not when you’re an Amway asshole = automatic expert on everything!

Medical advice? Call an Amway Ambot. They’ll diagnose you and tell you the treatment consists of buying some overprice shitty Amway vitamins. Snake oil for whatever ails you! Pick up a case of Amway holy water! What’s the difference between Dr. Ambot and a  Nigerian scammer? Nothing! They’re both fucked up liars trying to scam you out of your money.

Amway ambots are self proclaimed experts on everything - know it all Amway assholes. If an Amway product isn’t working for someone then the ambot tells thems they’re not drinking the water right or they need more vitamins. Amway ambots viciously defend Amways “prestige” products. There’s nothing wrong with them - the problem lies with the user. Yup its the typical old Amway standby response of blaming the victim. Same thing with Amway’s prestige tampons. If they leak after 30 minutes then us women must be putting them in wrong. Couldn’t have anything to do with the inferior quality of these products could it? Hearing a man giving tampon advice makes most women break down into uncontrollable laughter! But that’s an Amway asshole for you! Experts on everything!

The arrogant pompous know it all Amway bastards that I had to suffer are the biggest bunch of assholes I’ve ever met in my life. Troublemaking bastards who can’t mind their own fucking business.

The one thing that I’m an expert at is blogging about what Amway assholes are really like! No Amway know it all expert in everything will ever be more expert than me than cursing out the fucking assholes in the Amway upline!

Amway Is Fucking Creepy!

I get a few Google searches ending up on the blog for “Amway is creepy”. The last search being done by someone in Sweden?! Hmmm.....

Seeing as how this blog is about #10 on the creepy search I thought I’d try to bump it up a bit. So bad news for anyone tuning in today to listen to me curse out my former upline or hear about Ambot’s adventures!

So is Amway creepy?

My upline is creepy and Amway IBO’s are creepy.

I don’t know anyone who works at the head office in Ada, Michigan nor any of the other regional offices around the states or in any other countries. My experience with Amway has to do with a couple of phone calls and speaking to an employee on the help (?) desk. A better name would be “unhelpful desk”. Or the “I don’t give a shit desk”.

What goes on inside the four walls of Amway? I can’t imagine its a whole lot more different than other companies. Inside the company moral may or may not be good, it might vary with different departments. Some managers may be nicer than others. Most companies have an executive team that figures out marketing strategies to increase sales and new product development. There are department managers, mid-level managers, supervisors, and a bunch of other employees scattered throughout the company. Nothing creepy about that. Many mid to large size companies have this kind of structure.

Like any other company Amway probably offers its employees certain perks in attempts to retain them: health package, pension plan, flex hours, gym club membership, etc. I wonder if Amway employees are given discounts if they purchase the overpriced products. I wonder if they’re given complimentary IBO registration. Even with employee retention practices in place Amway probably has the same kind of employee turnover as other companies, about 5% each month due to employees quitting, transferring, dying, or on various leaves.  

What about Amway employees? Are they creepy? I’m sure there are creepy brown nosed Amway employees. Every company harbors a few.

I read an article a few months ago that breaks down how employees fit into the corporate structure. About 20% of employees love their jobs and go out of their way to excel. About 60% of employees are average and get their work done and for the most part do a good job. The other 20% hate their jobs and don’t do a good job.

So who are the dangerous employees? The 20% who hate their job? Nope. One way or the other they don’t last long and then they’re no longer a problem for the company. The dangerous employees are the 60% average. They’ll get their job done but they won’t bust their ass doing so. They don’t really care one way or the other about the company. Its just a job. Its just a paycheck. If they find another job that pays better or has better benefits they’ll quit in a second. Amway is probably like every other corporation out there and only 20% of their employees like their job. That explains why when IBO’s try to get assistance from corporate chances are high they’ll be dealing with one of the other 80% and end up on the receiving end of disinterest, disdain, contempt, etc because they’re dealing with employees who either hate their job or don’t give a shit and don’t want to be bothered.

There are a lot of names to describe Amway - unethical, creepy, uncaring, bad reputation, pyramid scheme, overpriced, etc. Amway gets labelled with these adjectives because of their own don’t-give-a-shit employees and the actions of IBO’s.

The Internet has had a lot to do with getting the word out about Amway and IBO’s. I doubt Amway can recover and fix their image.

Certainly not as long as people are searching the Internet looking for information on “Amway is creepy”.
