Tracy's point that "thousands" of stories compared to the million-plus consultants worldwide is insignificant makes sense. Her attempt at suggesting that it is significant does not. I am not saying that there are not problems out there - the women whose story she posts here demonstrates that there are - but to say that "thousands" proves it is a systemic problem is simply illogical.
Regarding the story posted here, I have several issues with it.
For one, if this woman feels so strongly that her director is wrong and ruining women's lives, it is quite odd that she is still working for her and (in her words) "dispenses MK rhetoric".
This woman's perspective (along with her director, apparently) is that once you "arrive" at national, you just sit around and do nothing. Perhaps there is something in the literature that comes from Mary Kay that can be misinterpreted this way, but I don't see it.
I get that people maybe get sucked in by women similar to this "ten year veteran", but really if you take just a few minutes to look at what Mary Kay (corporate) puts out (literature, website, etc.) you should pretty quickly recognize that this is not an overnight process, you don't get rich quick, you aren't going to "arrive" at a million dollar paycheck that takes no effort.
Are there women out there like this director? Obviously. Are there women out there like her assistant that is airing her dirty laundry, but still collecting a paycheck from her? Again, obviously, yes.
Does this mean that selling cosmetics for Mary Kay is a bad idea? Not necessarily. And that is my main contention with Pink Truth. |
