Just Let It Go
We’re so negative, but she keeps coming back? Sounds like something here strikes a chord with her!
Every time I look at your site, it feels like all you do is complain. You act like you are helping people by “telling the truth,” but really you are just being negative allthe time.
You forget that lots of women love Mary Kay. If it was as bad as you say, nobody would even stay in it. Some people enjoy it and feel good about what they do.
I don’t get why you can’t just let it go. You keep saying the same things over and over. All you do is blame other people for your problems.
Mabye if you spent less time picking apart everything and more time working on yourselfs, you wouldn’t be so unhappy. All this negative talk doesn’t help you or anyone else. It just keeps you stuck in the same place.

Let what go exactly? So long as these terrible MLM companies are exploiting their “sales force”, you will have folks like us speaking up for the victims and speaking out against the perps, while steering potential victims clear of the whole mess by exposing the madness within.

Remember Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, one of the Boston Marathon bombers who killed and maimed people? Who went on the run and sent the whole city into lockdown? Who appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone and a legion of fangirls went 😍🥰😍🥰😍🥰😍 because he was cute?
Just because something is loved, that doesn’t make it good.
Same with Luigi Mangione.
Don’t forget even Charles Manson had his share of fawning fangirls.

Oh I loved Mary Kay. I loved seminar. I loved being rewarded. I loved achieving. I loved earning cars and driving them around town. Mary Kay gave me a place to let my gifts shine.
It was when I realized the hours I was putting in really didn’t pay me what I felt I should. I should have been super rich. And before girlfriend says “you get out what you put in”, I put in a lot. I was in a constant cortisol spike and was inflamed head to toe from stress for most of my years in MK. I worked a lot mentally.
It was also going back to 0 July 1 and we hustle all over again. Gotta keep up with what corporate expects. Never rest. Never a break. Never vacation days. The top is the only place.
Then there was a season of “ok no more Cadillac and trip push. I’m going to be content in the grand achiever premier level car and stop pushing and find joy here.” Well. You’re looked down on. There’s no celebration for the premiers or directors with no car or hobby consultants who keep the MK world spinning. The only recognition was Cadillac and high achieving. And for someone who thrives off of that, I felt like the greatest failure while driving a “free” car around town.
So we’re not negative. We tried really hard. We sacrificed family time. We did everything. And all we found was that there was a man behind the curtain constantly moving the goal post. I’m just thankful I saw that and hope everyday more see it before it’s too late.
Every time I look at your site, it feels like all you do is complain.
Strange, because all the complaints I see come from Mary Kay Girlies.
IBCs complain because they can’t “Book, Sell, Book, Recruit”.
SDs complain that IBCs want their time and energy.
SSDs complain that they left property in a public space and forgot it, leading to a host of “Whinge-O-Vision” posts over the internet down-playing her negligence and the hotel following it’s own rules.
NSDs send passive-aggressive jabs at their SDs over production.
You act like you are helping people by “telling the truth,” but really you are just being negative allthe (sic) time.
Someone’s “I-Story” has got you concerned. You saw your present and you’ve seen your future and you are worried.
You forget that lots of women love Mary Kay. If it was as bad as you say, nobody would even stay in it. Some people enjoy it and feel good about what they do.
It’s not the product that’s the problem but the MLM business plan. For one woman to succeed, 249 have to fail.
This is Canada’s 2024 Income Disclosure. These re the figures your SSDs and NSDs don’t tell you about.

I don’t get why you can’t just let it go. You keep saying the same things over and over. All you do is blame other people for your problems.
You claim to see the same things over and over again, have you considered that so many stories are similar because the rigid, restrictive structure of Mary Kay Wagner Rogers Eckman Weaver Louis Miller Hallenbeck Ash’s company forces the same ending?
Mabye (sic) if you spent less time picking apart everything and more time working on yourselfs (sic), you wouldn’t be so unhappy.
Who says we are unhappy? No-one here. In fact, most of the women who were in Mary Kay speak fondly of many aspects of their time involved.
Pointing out when SDs are being two-faced in their private groups is eye-opening to those who were never part of an MLM.
All this negative talk doesn’t help you or anyone else.
You haven’t actually pointed out a single post where said negative talk is happening
It just keeps you stuck in the same place.
No, I’m not stuck in the same place because I’m not desperately searching the internet hoping to find that elusive piece of information to make my small She-E-O entrepreneur business a success despite the fact I would not be a CEO, nor an entrepreneur nor a business-owner if I was in Mary Kay.
If your Mary Kay experience was happy, fun, and profitable why do you keep coming back?
Hmmm… if it is so good, why during directors training was I taught 1/3 are working, 1/3 are not working , and 1/3 are on their way out?
Why also do Canadian profit stats show very few are making very little money?
I’ll put it this way, when I calculated the pay grade minus expenses for a Cadillac qualifying director, it was lower class income. Even with bonuses.
