I am SO glad I quit Mela. I never would have started had I known that, Delpha. I am so sorry.

As I said they are global and can not baby sit everyone, its common sense, the policies are in place and they do take action when they get wind of unethical practices. I mean no matter what company you are working for their are alwasys some employees going against policy etc..
So does any one know if 'that Karen' still represents the company?... of the other guy that says he saw the funeral program and then changed his mind.

All I can say is

twiddlebritches, you are a *****
and I hope you can sleep well at night for what you have said here in this thread.

how low can one person be?
Now let's understand that it's the Mel brainwashing talking and not her...now maybe when she's been deprogrammed she will see the error of her ways, comments, and thoughts (if she keeps reading this thread it will eventually happen).

I also want to say that I sell MK (basically to myself it seems)...and it bites that I was recruited in order to make someone else money. But I really like this stuff and thought I could share it with others...others would want to try it, etc. I know now that I am not a salesperson...I cannot push things on to people...I am not doing the party thing (yuck). Eh...I guess I am a prostitute for some white guy/gal...argh! Live & Learn I guess. However, I will not defend some corporation until my last breath. I can see the writing on the wall...could see that before I decided to sell MK. Some people will like it and others don't want to be bothered with it. I am not going to sit here and go on and on, beat a dead horse saying this thing or that thing is great at MK. I like a few things...not everything. I HATE the way I am being pressured into taking all of these "classes" in order to sell MORE MK. I don't have time for that! Plus I am not going to go and learn "pressure" tactics...that's crap! If someone wants it...they can contact me. I'm not going to stalk people. I knew this going in...kwim? I KNEW I wasn't going to do high pressure sales and recruiting.

My point (there might be one yet)...you don't have to believe all of the hype. Yea...so something is great in your opinion...so? Does that mean you have to jam it down others' throats? Does it mean you have to attack someone else's character or intentions just to make your point? It's time to look at yourself and whether the company is really worth it if that's the case. Don't surrender yourself to a company...selling yourself to the devil in order to make a buck isn't worth it in the end.

Disclaimer: I am being smart here...not hateful.

Hypocrisy!


wow, if the previous posts didnt have me convinced i would never use mela, this certainly did. does mela look for people with such snotty attitudes to represent them or do they teach the attitude in a seminar?

I think they attract snots!

Anyway Heidi I hope i did not offend you. If you read earlier, I see MK far different than Melaucea (since I can't spell it ever, I think we need a new word) I need help though. Not good at this stuff.

We could brain storm.

What words come to mind when you hear the word Maleucea?

for me

lie
cheat
money
manipulate
cult
brainwashed
un-ethical
un-natural

Heidi, you've hit the nail on the head. It's entirely possible to work for a MLM or other company, and like their products, and not be a brainwashed loser scumbag.

I loved MK until I found out they fund foreskin testing; and when I was still using their products, my MK lady could be a bit pushy, but NOTHING near the same level as the Mela reps. Also, I've never met a MK rep, or Avon, Tupperware, etc, who used scare tactics to get you to buy; or who think that their companies are GOD.

Acutally, I went to my local Arbonne rep today, met her for the first time ever; and she was the opposite of pushy, she was so cool! I just wanted samples to try the stuff out, and she made me little sample size jars of everything She never once said that other make-up companies were dangerous and evil.

Personally, I like alot of products that come from MLM companies (I loved MK, I like some Avon, some Tastefully Simple, Usborne books, and now maybe Arbonne). And in all my product buying, I've never encounterd a company and reps as disgusting as Mela.

I have seen some foul things on this board, but this is about the worst.
I completely agree. That is just disgusting. Then to read about harassing a woman dealing with a family member with cancer. My thoughts go out to you. Not only that you had been through such a rough time but then had someone knowingly making it worse.

I think we've all done things in the heat of the moment. It takes a certain kind of person to stoop that low in the heat of the moment.
