Some large corporations as well as some individual entrepreneurs have been accused of being "sweat shop proprietors." This is when they exploit their workers, who are frequently located in foreign nations, by forcing them to labour for a pittance. Consider the following scenario: a foreign organisation may have a warehouse full of women and children who work all day in appalling conditions for a few dollars per day. The owners of these businesses stand to profit handsomely because they save a significant amount of money on labour expenditures. This has been levelled at a number of large firms in the United States of America.
Some uplines operate in the same manner as sweat shop proprietors, but in many circumstances, they are worse than sweat shop proprietors because even mistreated workers receive some form of compensation. Regardless matter how tiny the gain may be, they have made a net profit at the conclusion of the calendar month. The majority of Amway Independent Business Owners (IBOs) spend their money on Amway products, and their uplines take the lion's share of the rebate/bonus that is generated by those sales. In turn, these same uplines attempt to persuade many of their downline to also purchase their system of CDs, books, voicemail, seminars or other functions. It is likely that uplines will earn just as much, if not more, cash from the system than they will from Amway in many instances. Rather than attempting to develop an Amway empire, the majority of downline IBOs would be significantly more profitable if they merely worked a part-time minimum wage job.
These same uplines will also instil a passionate allegiance to the system in their followers. Never be late for a function again. Make sacrifices in order to purchase additional books or CDs, and make certain that you are continuously on the lookout for new people to sponsor and add to the system. Joining the Amway system nearly guarantees that you will incur a net loss in the company's business operations. It is for this reason that I continue to write about the characteristics that IBOs and prospects should look for when they are being recruited or indoctrinated into these organisations. It is for this reason that there are so many defenders of Amway, the most of whom are losing money while believing they are still successful because they are following the teachings of their upline. If only IBOs and prospects could take a step back and look at things objectively, rather than blindly following what their upline instructs them to do.
While I understand that the majority of IBOs will not believe this, I will say it anyhow. Because they are paying their upline to do their labour, independent business owners (IBOs) on the system are likely to be worse off than sweat shop employees. At the very least, sweat shop employees receive a meagre wage. Upline will tell you that it is an honour to drive them around or to perform duties for them, and that you should treat it as such. This was something I witnessed firsthand, and I have no doubt that part or all of it is still in existence today. When it comes to gatherings and functions, many platinums works serve as gratis doormen and ushers. Upline profits from functions to the greatest extent possible. It is pure downline exploitation, and I hope that as time goes on, more and more independent business owners would see this. For those who are willing to look at it objectively, the answer is obvious.
For the majority of people, a part-time minimum wage is a more attractive option than working for Amway.
