It amazes me that people spend so much of their energy putting down Mary Kay.

Why should Mary Kay be immune to criticism from the internet? All multi-national, multi-billion companies have their detractors. It’s not specific to Mary Kay Wagner Rogers Eckman Weaver Louis Miller Hallenbeck Ash’s company.

I promise life is out there. Way beyond Mary Kay.

And? No-one here said otherwise. You will find all of us have lives beyond this site. We are not the ones trying “to find a way, make a way” at the end of December.

If you were talked into buying so much product from a greedy individual, it’s your fault.

Hold up! It’s the fault of Mary Kay’s company and their pretty pink polished scripts. Carefully honed over 60 years to bedazzle anyone in it’s way.

If you believe that the only way to succeed by getting more and more people signed up, it’s your fault.

Seen this?

It’s proof that money in Mary Kay comes primarily from the commissions from having a down-line. Those are figures from corporate, not us.

No one else but you. If no one is not intelligent enough to say hey, I work, have kids and damn, I cannot afford this, it’s your fault. You do what the hell you want.

I love the small of napalm victim blaming in the morning. Some-one here is feeling very defensive. I wonder why?

You make that decision, not the one who “talked” you into to whatever, nor the company.

Sounds like some-one has “Buyer’s Regret”.

Stand up make your own decision.

That’s why I never joined an MLM.

If you love the product, use it.

Never tried it, never will.

If you want to join, then join.

Don’t wanna!!!

Not everyone is a “sales” person.

Then why did Mary Kay produce reams and reams of scripts to promote the idea that anyone with skin can do so?

But, if you run into one who says you are and you know you are not. Then say hell no. Don’t sign up then.

See above. Many, if not most, Mary Kay 1099 contracted employees dutifully follow the scripts and try to convince any living being in their vicinity that “they can make it big” in Mary Kay.

This goes for any business.

And?

Even with Mary Kay.

And??

You do what you want.

No, you can’t do what you want. Once you’ve signed those papers you are bound to follow all their rules and regulations, not “what you want”.

When I joined, it was on my terms.

No, you signed a legally binding contract.

Not the one I signed under and not the company. Mine!!! Simple.

Please read up about legally binding contracts.

Did I want a car or pink Cadillac. Well hell no.

And somehow I doubt you were ever close to getting one.

When I was done selling it, I was freakin (sic) done.

Translation: I tried and failed.

I still use the product.

Translation: I have a massive amount of inventory I didn’t know I could return until too late so I’m having to use it myself.

But on my terms. I get what I want. Not what any consultant tries to sell me.

As a true customer you can. As a consultomer, you have to buy what your unit needs to try and complete whatever artificial goals that the company has set.

So, life is too too short.

Some days it does feel that way!

Move on.

When you feel conned, just move on. Learn from it.

No, I want to stop other people falling into the same or similar traps. It’s the decent, human thing to do. That’s what I learned.

I always wonder what post the PTC was looking at to spur them sending an email and why they always seem so ANGRY?

Like you wouldn’t blame someone who was robbed or in a car crash? Why do they always blame the consultant for being scammed by Mary Kay?
