“What are you
doing working a J.O.B.? You’re trading hours for dollars!”
I’ve heard that phrase sneered at the audience countless times from the
speakers at Amway meetings. Platinum or Diamond they all put down anyone who
works for someone else.
Trading hours for dollars = holding down a job. The Amway cult leaders say job
is a 4 letter word - the bastards can’t even count! 3 letters boys. Count ‘em
again. 3!
In one way or another we all trade hours for dollars.
Except in Amway where we trade hours for pennies and still end up in the hole.
Ambot spent approximately 100 hours a month in Amway related shit. This would
include 3 or 4 board plans in living rooms each week, countless hours studying
Amway literature and products on their website, 2 or 3 Amway events a month
where a Diamond came to town, a day long rally once a month, not to mention all
the time spent trying to recruit new IBO’s or finding suckers to buy the
overpriced shitty Amway products. What about countless phone calls and text
messages each day from the fucking assholes in the Amway upline where he was
expected to drop whatever he was doing to give them his undivided attention for
an hour or more?
What about my hours? And here I probably put in the required 10 to 15 hours a
week. So combined we put in between 140 to 160 hours a month. Wasted time that
we’ll never get back.
OK to make the calculations easy lets knock off my time and focus on Ambot’s
time and call it 100 hours a month. In return if we did 100PV that would be a
check from Amway for the month of about $10. So Ambot is earning .10 cents an
hour.
Ambot is trading hours for pennies. Like everyone else stuck in the Amway scam
who can meet that minimum 100PV purchase each month to qualify for a measly
commission check.
Lets not even get into the cost of tools, attending functions, and their
related costs (travel, hotel, food) because he’s now in the hole hundreds of
dollars each month.
So how about that $10/hour cashier job compared to an Amway income? The cashier
earns the same amount in 1 hour working a job as Ambot does after trading 100
hours on useless Amway bullshit.
If the cult leaders were telling the truth they’d call it trading dollars for
pennies but that doesn’t sound so good when they’re insulting prospective
recruits into the Amway cult.
Any business owner trades hours for dollars but hopefully most business owners
have a legitimate business earning them real money and they’re not settling for
a paltry Amway income that isn’t even a wage one could live on in a 3rd world
country. That’s something to think about. A worker in a 3rd world country is
trading hours for dollars and still making more than most North American Amway
IBO’s.
If I had to make a choice about going back to work or going back to Amway, I’d
rather trade hours for dollars working for a legitimate employer than working
more hours being a Scamway IBO and scamming others to lose their money chasing
hopeless dreams.
Spend 100 hours doing pointless stuff to earn $10 or do one hour of maybe pointless stuff to earn $10. I don't know why everyone doesn't work in an Amway job. It clearly is the easy way to riches.
ReplyDeleteWhy don't Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Larry Ellison not to mention many others see the light and also dump their stupid jobs to do this? After 50 years they too could be earning a Diamond's salary of 150,000 instead of the paltry billions they are on now. J.O.B - another four letter three-letter word.
onya, Aussie H
LOL Aussie Hillbilly. Yeah Amway gets them to sign up with the promises of bazillions of dollars in residual income rolling in every month for the rest of your life when the reality for the majority of participants is they spend 100 hours or more on Amway shit and earn pennies per hour. And that's only if they qualified that month to get a rebate check for around $10.
DeleteThe silly "trading hours for dollars" comment is just another one of those stupid Amway attempts at being witty or smart-alecky. Everyone who is employed trades their time and energy for a salary -- that's what paid work is, dammit! You give your time and labor, and you receive an agreed-upon remuneration.
ReplyDeleteWould Amway freaks call marriage "trading support for sex"? Would they call raising children "trading nurture for help in your old age?" Would they call serving in combat "trading bullets for victory?"
The words "trading hours for dollars" merely show the utter contempt that Amway freaks have for honest labor, and the disdain that they feel for anyone who uses his talents and abilities to make a living for himself and his family.
Amway is all about contempt for other people, and hatred for anyone who isn't involved in the Amway racket.
Anonymous - I am sure that Amway freaks do refer to marriage and raising children in that way LOL! Yup you nailed it. Amway Ambots have contempt and hatred towards anyone not involved in Amway and who have a different point of view than their Amway cult leader.
