I read a Forbes article that talked about the best paying jobs for women. http://www.forbes.com/sites/jennagoudreau/2011/12/15/best-jobs-for-women-in-2012-salary-satisfaction-security-growth/ And I know this is an old article but it’s actually the last paragraph in it that is important to today’s blog post.
It’s timeless!
Like I said it’s an older
article and the list is rather bogus and sexist. Also I think Forbes is now hitting
up readers for money so forget it if you don’t subscribe. Mostly it lists
careers in what used to be predominantly male occupations like anthropologist,
science, doctors, the type of jobs that one typically has a university degree
and works their way up in the industry. In this day and age these are good
paying jobs for either men or women so no need to be sexist and say best paying
jobs for women. The list was unrealistic for the majority of the population to
obtain. I suppose it fills up space in the magazine. Fortunately Amway is not
on the list! Big surprise! Go figure that one out! If you listen to fucking
Amway assholes they’ll be bullshitting you up one side and down the other that
Amway is the best paying job for women. LOL! In a company known for male
chauvinist pigs a woman is really going to claw her way up the pyramid. LOL!
The last paragraph stuck out for me:
Jobs with the lowest satisfaction rates among women include food preparers
and servers (median salary: $19,000), retail salespeople ($21,000), production
workers ($30,000) and secretaries and administrative assistants ($31,000).
When I look back into the hell hole of the dark Amway days, the jobs held by
the ambots I knew were food, warehouse, retail, and office or closely related
jobs. Unskilled labor type jobs. Get your training while on the job. Easy come easy
go jobs.
Not only are they low paying jobs but I agree there is little job satisfaction
in those jobs. They are all fairly mindless jobs that once you get the routine
down you can pretty much get the job done without thinking too much about it.
Its little wonder that Amway targets people in those industries to sign up to
their pyramid scheme. People are stuck working a dead end job with little pay.
Many low paid employees are on the lookout for something better. So when some
rotten fucked up Amway IBO comes prospecting they can be easily hooked.
Workers in those food, retail, warehouse, or office are enticed by the material
possessions of the upline and believe the lies about how much money can be made
at the Amway scam. They are good prospects because they might have a little
extra cash to buy Amway products and tools. Or because they’re working they are
probably eligible for credit cards which they can go into debt investing in the
Amway scam.
Once they get brainwashed enough by the Amway cult leader they believe that
jobs are bad and only losers have jobs. They are brainwashed to believe that
people who are not involved in Amway are losers. This attitude carries on with
them and one way or another they are probably not going to be holding their low
paying, low satisfaction job a whole lot longer. But what do they care if they
quit or get fired. There is a high turnover rate in food, retail, and clerical
so they will probably find another low paying job pretty quickly.
Unless of course their upline tells them now is the perfect time to concentrate
on their Amway business and “grow their business”. Then the job search will be
stunted while they chase an elusive dream of being their own boss and that
declaration alone means they will be financially independent forever.
People who are unhappy in their
jobs usually want two things to change, and Amway promises them both:
1) They want a much higher income, and they want it to be permanent.
2) They want control over how they handle their job tasks, without interference
from supervisors and bosses.
Amway promoters tells them they will make much more money in Amway than in
their lousy "J.O.B.", and that they will be free to handle their
business as they see fit, without interference.
The problem is that both of those promises are lies. Over 99% of Amway IBOs
make no profit at all, and anyone who has been in Amway will tell you that you
are cruelly supervised and dictated to by your up-line, right down to the
smallest details of your life.
I concluded many years ago that Amway will never ever be one of the best paying
jobs for women. (Or men!)
Joining Amway is a terrible choice for women, because the entire culture of the racket is devoted to the idea that women are only wives and mothers, and must be directed at all times by their husbands. Amway is all about couples, thought of as a kind of "dynamic duo" who work the business together.
ReplyDeleteWhen a single woman joins Amway, she is immediately encouraged to pair up with some single male IBO (in the hope that they will hit it off and get married, and become the typical Amway couple). The Amway subsystems don't like unmarried IBOs.
Amway (like all MLMs) preys on single or widowed women who are in need of extra cash, and who want to work from home. (The LuLaRoe scam for crappy clothing is typical.) But Amway, right from the start in 1959, was always very masculine in its orientation, and it remains so to this day. If an Amway wife is a lifer in the business, she is usually an unpleasant bitch who screams even more loudly than her husband about being CORE and obeying up-line.
Anonymous- you’re right. Amway is a good old boy’s club where it’s all about the man. The wife and her dreams are insignificant. A single woman won’t reach any upper levels in Amway.
DeleteLOL on the Lularoe scam and how it’s target victim are single mothers who want to work from home. So many complaints about the products. One of my friends liked the leggings and bought a few pairs. She wore one for the first time at Disneyland and it came apart at her ass. She was glad she wasn’t going commando that day and had a sweater to tie around her waist!
All these scam MLMs sell inferior products and lie abt the quality.
Hi Anna, I was watching some expose vids on MLMs including Amway and thought I'd check in here. You just mentioned what the people who sign up for Amway are looking for and/or think they're getting. What Amway is looking for is a never ending stream of bottom tier replacements for those who get tired of spending their money, investing their time & energy and leaning on their friends/family to push the Amway brand for them and keep feeding the insatiable Amway Gods up high. And then celebrate when they get a $17.46 commission check for the five hundred dollars worth of Amway boxes in their closets that they paid a thousand dollars for. And then decide whether to use it to buy gas for the rusty '87 Tercel or buy a tire patch for the bald flat spare in the trunk. The Grapes of Wrath Ambots.
ReplyDeleteRay - that’s exactly right. 95% of participants quit Amway with 2 years so that’s huge turnover for the cult leaders to keep replacing the lower levels of the pyramid so their income doesn’t crumble away. One of the reasons why there is so much abuse from the Amway upline.
