Occasionally, former and present Amway employees stop by to share their thoughts on the company and their experiences working there. According to the opinions of its employees, Amway treats its employees like trash. Our customer service representative who couldn't piece a sentence together or spell to save her (his?) life but showed up to curse out ambots who call their I-don't give a shit line to lie about not receiving things provided us with insight into what it's like to work there. And while it is true that Amway's hiring department dredges the bottom of the sewer and has low quality requirements for hiring staff, and that they hire anyone they can get their hands on because they are desperate, it does not make it right for them to treat their employees like shit simply because they are unable to find good employees to fill the positions they need. Here's another anecdote about one of our employees.
I work as a temp at the plant, and I despise my job. My pet peeves are the overhead, the treatment, and working on low-quality/cheap things while the suits come down on everything like pigeons to shit on everything. I don't even make three hundred dollars a week since Amway uses temp services to slave away while the full-time employees do absolutely nothing and earn three times the amount of money I do. It is a deplorable environment in which to work or even associate with. I'm sorry to say that things are just as bad on the business side of things as they are on the personal side.
A lot of people are so anxious for a work and to earn money to pay their bills that they will accept any job that comes their way, even if it is with an unsavoury business who treats their employees poorly. I recall going to Amway cult meetings and hearing the Diamonds brag about all of the plants and warehouses where Amway manufactures its “fine quality” items. It was a great feeling. It's a joke, of course! Make that terrible, costly merchandise a reality! However, according to an Amway employee who claims to be exploited like a slave, these Amway plants are no different than sweat shops in third-world countries in terms of working conditions. I'm sure I'm not the only one who scrutinises product labels before making a purchase. If I see something created in Bangladesh, which has been the site of numerous warehouse fires and deaths in sweat shop factories, I am not going to purchase it. In the same manner that I don't buy anything labelled Amway Alticor or whatever other names they use to mask who they really are. Allow me to set aside the fact that it is an overpriced terrible product that I can acquire for far less money from more respectable vendors. Likewise, if it comes from an Amway sweat shop where employees are treated like garbage, that is an equally valid reason not to purchase it.
So why would you continue to work in a shithole and put up with dishonest bosses? As I already stated, I am desperate for any employment that can pay the expenses. Eventually, another employment will present itself, and individuals will quit and relocate. And I understand that Amway is not the only firm out there who treats people poorly, but we're not going to speak about other shady employers because I don't get employees from other companies showing up here to complain about their jobs and disparage their employer. Instead, I've had Amway employees who have worked for the company for 20 years complain to me that they are still not eligible for benefits despite putting in the necessary time. Employers with a bad reputation, such as Amway, are well-versed in employment loopholes and know how to avoid providing benefits and good compensation. They retain personnel who are classified as temporary or part-time and hire new employees through temporary staffing companies.
What about all of the filthy Amway ambots who come to this site and leave gloating comments about how Amway made 12 billion dollars last year? What about them? Is it really possible for a corporation that makes that much money not to be able to pay its employees properly and provide them with benefits? You're a fucking jerk! The fact is that there are other companies that do not bring in that much money but do pay their employees well and provide benefits and a pension plan. A low-class, greedy boss that brings in that type of money has no choice but to treat his or her employees like shit in order to keep more money in the bank accounts of the company's owners.
OK, you awful Amway employee, you're in trouble. While I'm sorry that things are so difficult for you right now, I believe there are positions available that pay more and provide better treatment. Walmart and McDonald's come to mind as places where it appears to be simple to find a job due to a high turnover of employees. The same goes for other food and restaurant enterprises. There is a lot of turnover and there is always a need for fresh personnel. While I understand that these are the types of establishments that Amway cult leaders make fun of in their cult meetings, I couldn't give a flying fuck what those Amway bastards think. Putting other people down and making them feel bad about their work is something that makes those Amway jerks happy. Carry out some research to determine which employers provide benefits to their employees and then submit an application to those companies. Even Starbucks, the target of numerous amusing jokes from the jerks in the Amway upline ("huge dollars, ha ha ha, I'm so fucking brilliant"), provides benefits to part-time employees who work less than 40 hours each week.
The bottom line is that many of these places pay far more than Amway. Perhaps there are advantages as well. Additionally, they should treat their staff better.
Let me tell you something: if your employer, whether it is Amway or another company, is treating its employees unfairly, you can submit a complaint with the appropriate regulatory agency in your jurisdiction. Even if your shithole employer decides to terminate you as a result of your complaint because that's what they do rather than buckle and treat their employees better, at the very least, you've taken the first step toward having your shithole employer examine your complaint and, possibly, fined. When employees are aware that they will be retaliated against by their company, they are unlikely to register spurious complaints. They are acting in this manner because it is the correct thing to do. Out with the fucking bastards that employ them!
Moreover, working for shady firms such as Amway, who treat their employees poorly, is the morally correct thing to do. There are some businesses where generating a profit is more important than treating staff decently.
The pressing necessity of addressing the mistreatment of workers entails reshaping work cultures.
Respect, fairness, and support are the pillars around which a positive atmosphere in the workplace is constructed. Nevertheless, it is depressing to accept that some employees are subjected to mistreatment, which can include being treated unfairly, ostracized, or mistreated while they are at work. Mistreatment can also take the form of discrimination. In this piece, we look into the troubling topic of employees being treated unfairly at their places of employment and investigate the negative impacts that this issue has on individuals, companies, and society as a whole. In addition, we talk about the significance of cultivating healthy work environments that place a premium on the dignity and well-being of their staff members.
Understanding the Mistreatment of Employees:
a) The Different Types of Mistreatment: Employees can be subjected to a variety of forms of mistreatment, including verbal abuse, harassment, discrimination, unfair rules or practices, excessive workloads, a lack of assistance, and a disregard for their well-being on the job.
b) The Impact on Employees: If an employee is treated poorly, this can have serious repercussions for their physical and mental health, as well as their level of job satisfaction and their overall well-being. It causes an increase in stress, burnout, lower productivity, diminished job motivation, and a deterioration in one's own sense of self-worth.
A Look at Some of the Causes and Contributing Factors:
a) Toxic Leadership: Poor treatment is frequently the result of toxic leadership characteristics, such as favoritism, bullying, micromanagement, and a lack of empathy. Leaders that do not make the well-being of their employees a priority set the tone for a toxic culture in the workplace.
b) Organizational Culture: A toxic work environment can be perpetuated in some cases by organizational cultures that place a higher priority on performance than the welfare of their employees or that neglect to address instances of mistreatment. A culture of dread, silence, and resignation can develop when there is no one to be held accountable for unacceptable behavior.
c) Power Dynamics: Inequalities in power dynamics within businesses might be a contributing factor in the abuse of employees. Employees may experience fear of punishment when individuals in positions of authority abuse their power, which makes it difficult for employees to report instances of mistreatment or seek support.
Negative Consequences for Organizations: a) Decreased Productivity: Mistreatment produces an uncomfortable work environment, which leads to decreased employee engagement, motivation, and productivity in the workplace. Employees who believe they are being mistreated or devalued are far less likely to perform to the best of their abilities or submit novel ideas.
b) High Turnover Rates and Difficulties in Recruitment: Employees who are treated poorly are more inclined to look for other employment options, which results in high turnover rates. This makes it difficult to recruit new employees. This may lead to additional costs associated with recruitment, disruptions in workflow, and the loss of institutional expertise.
c) Damage to Reputation: Word of abuse can quickly travel, which can be detrimental to an organization's standing in the community. Because of this, it may be more difficult to entice top people, win the trust of customers, and maintain long-term success.
Commitment from Leadership: Leaders have a critical part to play in the formation of the cultures of their organizations. They need to make respectful behavior a priority and set a good example for others, create standards that are clear and prohibit maltreatment, and develop open lines of communication so that issues can be addressed.
b) Education and Awareness: Companies should make it a priority to provide their workers with the opportunity to participate in training programs that include topics such as respectful workplace practices, diversity and inclusion, conflict resolution, and the consequences of abuse. Raising people's levels of awareness contributes to the development of a culture that values empathy and respect for one another.
c) Encouraging Reporting and Support: It is essential to establish confidential reporting procedures and supportive structures. Employees should be able to report mistreatment without fear of retaliation and should feel safe doing so, and organizations should respond quickly and take appropriate action after receiving such reports.
d) Encouraging a Healthy Work-Life Balance: Companies and businesses should encourage employees to have a healthy work-life balance by instituting policies that encourage flexibility, stress management, and employee well-being. This involves making tools available for the support of mental health, encouraging regular breaks, and acknowledging the significance of having time for oneself.
Legal and Ethical Responsibilities Businesses have a responsibility, both legally and ethically, to ensure that the working environment they create for their employees is one that is both safe and respected. A commitment to justice and equality, as well as compliance with applicable labor laws and non-discrimination rules, are all key components of responsible and ethical business practices.
It is crucial for the well-being of individuals, the performance of companies, and the overall health of society as a whole to address the problem of employees being treated poorly. Organizations are able to establish situations in which individuals may thrive, contribute their best, and realize their full potential if they build good work cultures that prioritize respect, justice, and the well-being of their employees through the cultivation of positive work cultures. It is essential for leaders and organizations to recognize the detrimental impact of mistreatment, take preventative actions to eliminate it, and develop working environments that exemplify dignity, equality, and mutual respect for one another.
