Is it me or is Pink Truth turning over a new leaf of sorts? This article seems to be exactly what one would expect from a website claiming to offer the truth. With one small exception, this article seems to simply present facts and observations (appropriately labeled) about something going on with Mary Kay that is not good. The recommendation that anyone engaging in this behavior (or looking the other way) should stop is also right on.
As I said, there is one small exception. JTA talks about her (former) unit. This if fine. Then she talks about Pam Shaw's unit and suggests we check her newsletter but does not provide a link or anyway to go about doing that. Not a huge deal, but kind of on par with "You should see how much money my director makes..." without providing a way to do so.
No, the only real issue I have hear is that JTA then uses this undocumented "proof" to suggest that her experience is "common" in Mary Kay. This does give the impression that it MAY be common in Mary Kay, but certainly does not prove that it is.
I do agree with JTA that "buying" sales goals is not a smart way to do business. If you or someone you know is doing this, it needs to stop.
But lets say, just for a minute, that this is an incredibly rampant problem in Mary Kay. Let's say that 90% of all Mary Kay consultants are engaged in this sort of behavior and the majority of Mary Kay Corporate's money comes from this sort of nonsense. Is that a reason to distance yourself from Mary Kay? What are your thoughts about that? Personally, I think if you are making money legitimately and are enjoying yourself, there is no reason to concern yourself with what the rest are doing. If you are being pressured to do these things, that is different, but if you are "doing it right" and the people around you are as well, let the lazy, greedy (or whatever) suffer their own consequences.
