    Quite a few years ago I was scheduled to attend a convention for my job at the time (which, of course, 100% was paid for by my employer) and the day before I was to leave my toddler got very ill. I told my employer that I would not be able to attend because my child was sick. Her response? "Stay home and take care of your daughter, she's the most important". F these people who try to guilt other women!

      Not to mention how much it costs to attend this.
      The company I worked for also had a yearly meeting that we already joked it was like a cult meeting with regurgitated corporate propaganda. You know, normal corporate stuff that multinationals say. But alas, the company handled everything - hotel, flight, catering and even a daily allowance. Every business trip provided such an allowance, it was standard and not just for this yearly meeting. Being there in-person was, though, optional. But corporations are the real scams, right?

      Yep. I was set to go on a week long conference with work and had a family emergency, my boss told me not to worry. Never found out if my airfare and hotel were refunded to corporate, as they had already paid, I didn't handle it. I paid for the convention out of pocket and my boss told me I'd the expense report was denied (it wasn't) he'd pay it out of pocket. Of course, if I had gone, I'd get a $80 per day per diem, so no out of pocket for me.

    I live in an area where MLM huns run rampant. I also happen to have very thick, curly hair. This has made me a prime target for Monat girlies who love to tell me that I "have gorgeous hair!" and they have "a great opportunity for me" until I tell them no thanks and that I already have a hair routine that works for me. All of a sudden "it's a shame that I won't even try to fix my hair's issues" and "oh well, if you ever change your mind you could actually change your life". What a joke....
    P.S. Glad to see you back! It's been said a million times already, but please keep fighting the good fight. It's because of content like yours that people like me know to look out for these scams and the people that try to push them.

      Speaking as a black person with curly hair, their blatant discrimination was on full display. For many non-blacks/POC's, anything that isn't straight hair is seen as unkempt and bad. They have zero interest in understanding any other hair texture. All the more reason to swerve around these huns because that shampoo and conditioner isn't meant for those with curls and coils (and I do not lament that one bit!) 😂

    I’m an Uber driver in Orlando, and I had no idea that Monations would be here. LITTLE DID I KNOW that I would end up getting a request to pick up from the Marriott. Come to find out, it was the last night where they threw this roaring 20s party. I thought these ladies were coming from a wedding and made the mistake of asking them what event they came from. I ended up being sales pitched Monet. *how shocking*
    Shut that down all real fast when I told them I’m worried about losing my hair from Monet products.
    If I hadn’t stumbled upon Hannah’s videos LITERALLY THAT WEEK, who knows what would have happened.

      In my experience they do. One place I worked at did this convention where all the people in the stores and head office in Canada were invited at this convention. It was in the head office city, where I am, and I was even paid the hotel room even if I could have gone back at my house. I do think they did that to avoid drinking and driving.

    I laughed so hard when I saw the badge ribbons. I attend a huge comic con style nerd convention every year called DragonCon, and people make these badge ribbons to hand out throughout the weekend. It's a silly competition to see how long people can get their collections, and some people even collect enough badge ribbons to construct full capes and costume pieces. There's a contest where people hang their badge ribbons off third and fourth floor balconies to see how far they can go. It's hilarious and all in good fun. The ribbons say things like, "Kirk vs Picard" or "Han Shot first" -- sci-fi and nerdy references of all kinds. It is just hysterical to me that these Monat ladies are taking something like this SO SERIOUSLY when the nerds are doing it as a joke. They are a joke!!!

    I have a "friend" well i thought she was my friend. But every time me and my family go thru a financial issue shes right there telling me to join monat. I unexpectedly got pregnant and i dont get paid maternity leave because im a hairdresser, shes telling me to join monat, i say no, recently i was crying to my family about the clients ove lost and have to rebuild my business and shes in my dms telling me about an opportunity and i told her im not interested in anything mlm and she gives me a speal about optimizing my income with it. Nooooo. I have to block her. I just realized our whole "friendship" just was her trying to recruit me. Ughhhh
    But she was at that Monations thing, shes bragging about it all being positive and so on. I know from these videos shes in debt and struggling lmao.

    It’s pretty obvious when hotels are booked in Las Vegas that there’s a convention in town because the rooms are ridiculously priced, so mlm Huns are most likely paying a crap ton.
    As an exmormon, I would not stay at a Marriott and their hotels have really taken a downturn. These MLM conferences remind me of Downtown Salt Lake during LDS general conference.

    "Monet" could be replaced with the name of a modern church, and it would be indistinguishable from a high control religion. The way the company/"huns" talk to each other literally takes cues from religion. It's wild to see the blatant similarities.

    Ohhh Hannah, please have a look into the "Belgium Distributon Act" - I work in (technical) Sales and as a Distributor Manager here in Germany, but I am responsible for EMEA.
    They will regret this. They are Distributors and you really do not want to have Distributor in Belgium. The law there is super protective for the distributors. This will be very funny and intersting in a few years when the lawsuits are rolling in.

    As a Christian, I don’t necessarily have a problem with a company providing an OPTIONAL church service on Sunday morning following a convention. HOWEVER, it’s the faith-manipulation I have a HUGE problem with! Tying that service, IN ANY WAY, into the message of any company is absolutely abhorrent. Unacceptable. These poor women of faith lose their eyes for God when they are manipulated in a company-focused service and that’s just sickening.

      Thank you! As a theologian, the faith manipulation is painful to watch. These companies are closely associated with the new thought movement, prosperity gospel, and cult like behavior. Look at Melissa Dougherty’s videos and you’ll see a connection. The sad part is when these ladies realize how they’ve been manipulated, it could hurt their faith that should never have been tied up in an mlm in the first place. You won’t see those teachings from the convention in the Bible.
