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!)
Amway definitely attracts persons with limited skills and very little real education. Most of them are desperate to improve their status and income, so naturally they are predisposed to listen to the fakery and bullshit that an Amway recruiter will give them.
ReplyDeleteIt's all about hopes and dreams and fantasies, and the job of up-line is to keep those illusions alive for as long as possible in a new recruit, while draining him of as much money as possible.
Anonymous - Amway appeals to people with limited skills, low education and not much chance of landing a really good paying job. These people want to increase their income and live a better life. And there's nothing wrong with that but there's better ways to do it than devoting your life to a pyramid scheme.
