I read a Forbes article that talked about the best paying jobs for
women. The list was rather bogus and sexist. Mostly it listed 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. 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!
One passage 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 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.
I concluded many years ago that Amway will never ever be one of the best paying
jobs for women. (Or men!)
I have to laugh when I hear that some Amway asshole tells an IBO that now is the time to "grow your business."
ReplyDeleteWhat total crap. You might as well tell someone that now is the time to "grow your pet rock."
Anonymous - that old bullshit Amspeak has been around for decades. All new recruits to the Amway cult hear it. "Now is the time to get in because the business is about to explode." And here I will add, one can only hope that Amway will explode in the worst way it possibly can.
