As a reminder, in case anyone missed this discussion on the Tax Deductions blog, IBOFB appears to believe that upline IBOs who are breaching Amway policy, committing lies, or otherwise providing misleading information should be reported to Amway, who will take appropriate action.
Bullshit!
I did file a formal complaint with Amway regarding incorrect information that was provided to us at an Amway meeting by the sack of shit Platinum. I didn't realise I'd been duped at the time, and I turned to Amway for assistance with the situation at the time. The Amway representative stated that what I'd been informed was not Amway policy was correct, and then directed me to the appropriate section of Amway policy about that subject. In an Amway meeting, I mentioned to her that I had received this knowledge from the Platinum. As a result, when I asked if Amway would take action against this individual, I was told that the company had no interest in doing so and that I should deal with Platinum about the false information he provided at the meeting. Furthermore, an Amway employee advised me that he had placed a note in my file stating that I had "been informed" in the event that I attempted to phone back and bring the matter up with Amway again.
Despite the fact that some people have high expectations of the companies and people they like and believe they are incapable of making a mistake, life does not always work out that way. Ten years ago, one of my friends was in a tizzy because she believed Martha Stewart was on her way to prison. How could this be possible?! IBOFB has unreasonable hopes that Amway will genuinely respond to the issues that IBOs have about their upline, which is not the case. That simply isn't the case. I've attempted it. I'm sure others have attempted it as well. According to my own experience, Amway couldn't give a damn.
Amway is far from the only firm in the world that is guilty of inaction. My boss was in violation of corporate policy several years ago. Every time an issue occurred, I notified the human resources manager a couple times. There was no action. If the human resources department doesn't give a rip, why should I? So I stopped telling them of anything. Close to a year had passed before I could bear the thought of remaining silent any longer and notified the human resources manager of what was still going on. To put it another way, let us say this. That supervisor who was in violation of corporate policy is still on the job. I was granted a two-year severance package in exchange for my departure.
Is my old employer the only corporation in the world that does not take action in response to employee complaints of policy violators? Nope. Is it true that they are the only corporation in the area that has paid money to get people to leave? Nope.
IBOFB is free to express his cynical opinion that Amway doesn't give a damn when IBOs gripe about their upline. There are several blogs, books, articles in the media, and other evidence to demonstrate that this is just not the case.
Complaints are an unavoidable part of doing business in any industry. There will always be a consumer who is unhappy with a product or service, regardless of how good the product or service is.
