One of the things that I have a problem with is how uplines will instil a "us vs them" mentality in the work environment. Consequently, friends and family members who care about you suddenly become "negative," and your association with them should be limited or avoided entirely. People are sometimes discouraged from striving for greatness in their jobs or professions because it diverts attention away from their Amway business, which is understandable. What I was taught was that I should carry out my responsibilities while keeping an eye out for fresh opportunities. Some crossline IBOs declined advancements at their places of employment because they did not want to be required to work longer hours or to divert their attention away from their Amway enterprises. In other words, they harmed their long-term financial prospects, which is paradoxical considering that most people join Amway in order to improve their financial situation.
In some instances, the speaker at open meetings or functions will disparage the positions of others. J-O-B, which stood for "Just Over Broke," was a regularly used abbreviation. Some leaders would also describe my position as a pyramid, because you would never make more than your boss, which is true. Because a person's employment has nothing to do with how people see the Amway business (i.e., an Amway pyramid), the comparison is absolutely absurd. In a job, every employee is paid and has a net gain at the end of each month. In Amway, this is not the case. If IBOs just use KATE, for example, an IBO with 100 PV or fewer will already be operating at a loss, and this is without taking into account any additional expenses that the IBO may incur. In addition, while a position may have a hierarchy, or a chain of command, the business owner and chief executive officer or management obtains their compensation from the company's customers rather than from the pockets of their employees. Amounts earned by Amway diamonds are derived from the volume of product produced by their downline, as well as substantial sums earned from the tools and functions they sell to their downline.
Occasionally, uplines would make fun of people's occupations, claiming that they have to get up at the "crack of noon." The truth is that these same uplines may not tell you that they wake up at noon since they are up at 3:00 in the morning working for their groups and recruiting new members. These same uplines may not be able to do much with their downlines because the majority of their downlines work 9 to 5 jobs, according to the data. These upper-level executives are now doing the graveyard shift because they have no choice.
If you believe that no one should criticise the Amway opportunity or IBO behaviour, then perhaps uplines and IBOs should refrain from criticising family and friends who disagree with or are not interested in the opportunity, and perhaps the same uplines and IBOs should refrain from criticising people who choose to work jobs. Most Independent Business Owners (IBOs) rely on their jobs because their Amway income is insufficient to cover even their Amway business-related expenses.
