1. Mary Kay Cosmetics is pure trash

2. I think they snuck in under: “Businesses that supply products needed for people to work from home.” part of that order.

   • That seems to be the only way for them to sneak in. Yet the way it’s written, I don’t think they qualify. No one needs MK products to work at home.

     • for real.. they already have a ton of product in their basements.

3. MK corporate have been greasing the Dallas area skids for a long time. Hob knobbing does pay off… in thiscase takes more money away from downline to pay Melinda Sellers, David Holl and Nathan Moore the same salary while the whole works is going south.

   So get to work…..I mean order now ladies, the new smaller inventory warehouses are bursting with items, including the limited edition for 2020 spring.

   Soon we will see this spun into a reason to join, as in this week.

   • I work in Dallas County and live in Collin County. Shelter in place is not a mandated quarantine. it is intended to limit outings beyond going to the grocery store, going to work, outside exercise etc. There is also no formal exemption. You either meet the requirements or can justify your being open or not. No one is going around checking, just like the police aren’t pulling people over to see where they are going.

     That said, my employer has us all working from home and if any one can’t do their job from home (ie receptionist) they are still getting paid. None of this use your leave crap.

     Oh and we were already on voluntary work from home before the mandate. One we had a possible case, the office was closed. If MK really did have a verified case and didn’t shut down they are both irresponsible and an anomaly.

4. This stinks to high heaven. In what alternate reality is make-up an essential service? There has to be some political mutual back-scratching going on. And as if that were not dirty enough, Mary Kay doubles down on the evil by mandating employees give up their benefits if they decide to do the socially responsible thing and stay home. My 3-day-old sweatsocks smell better than this.

   • LOL!!! I love your posts! It’s funny.

5. This is insane.

6. I bet everyone at corporate makes over $90,000 so they can’t get that $1,200
   oh! that’s right. either can MK consultants, cuz being a consultant is not a real job.

7. I just got an automated “Care” text yesterday and directors are doing I care calls.
   They are on a particular FB site following a post about “care” calls and scripts.

   Also
   Today I got another auto update text and also a text regarding “order now as things may close up”

   How do I know these are auto …because I used to send them when you was a Director!!!!

   I’m so glad I am out of the pink fog.

   • I did, too! So much regurgitated, fake stuff sent because a superstar said it worked for her. It’s so sad how desperate we all were!

8. What’s a damn shame is, MK went out of their way to get an exemption. smh. most states only are allowing essential businesses to be open.

9. When I was a Director I meant.

10. David Holl and Nathan Moore are horrible leaders. The whole company is sinking, and that’s how they treat the employees left? I’d love to see a major walk-out from admins to finance people.

    Run, people, run!

    • Agree! I would bundle Melinda into the evil list

      • I’m about to make some popcorn. Tracy, are you getting all this?

11. Cleta Colson-Eyre was encouraging everyone to order inventory on her Sunday night Boss Babe call. She didn’t want them to miss out in case more of the distribution centers close. So gross.

    1

    • She is the typical “MK Lady” image that makes me cringe. How did any of us ever associate with these people?

12. That’s ridiculous. Best Buy emailed customers to say that employees can work on a volunteer basis at increased pay to fill curbside orders. Anyone who doesn’t want to work will get paid while staying home. No sick leave required. This company cares nothing for its consultants or employees. Other companies closed their warehouses and aren’t filling orders, but Mary Kay is too greedy and struggling to care. So glad I’m out.

13. Corporate should give grace to production terms during this virus outbreak.

    Ha Ha! They won’t or maybe a rear view mirror approach….Hey…we have a deal for our sales force…….Let’s keep the caddy campaign.

    Directors are left holding the bag as they say. May this be the wake up call the universe is trying to give corporate.

    Here we expose how they treat their people internally along with the sales downline….you just aren’t that special darlin’

    And no one needs more product ‘cuz you care enough to mention I need to look slammin’ during the state lockdown.

14. So lets think: “what would mary kay ash do?”
    Ooh I know encourage to continue selling.
    Whatever is a earning for mk Company.
    Do you remember: Family before company?
    Whose your family ma’am MaryKay?

15. I am a corporate employee with over thirty years with the company. I also have underlying health issues that increase the likelihood of complications from covid19. Others in my department were given the option to work from home but I was told my position was “essential” and had to report to work yet I am not performing any of my normal job duties. I am doing work that could be completed at home. We were told they were exempted from shelter in place since they sold “hygiene” products. Well then they should only be allowed to ship said hygiene products until this pandemic is over. They are essentially choosing lipsticks over lives.

    • I was a Director for over a decade, and I’m appalled you all are being treated this way. Do consider going to the press with this info.

    • That really bites. It could be that you’re being required to report to the office because MK realized they didn’t have enough VPN capability for everyone to work from home.

      If so, then it’s just another case of corporate profit being more important than people.
