'Atta girl Laura! I have to wait about an hour before I make any calls. 9 am is a little early during the summer around here. But I will be making them calls! I have my first recruit lead--you don't thinkg I'm gonna let her go, do you?

So the termination of your contract wasn't immediate? I'm glad about that, but that just seems wierd

The part of me that's irritated with PC over this says that this way they can make more money off her before they throw her to the wolves.

The logical part of me says that it's fairer to her customers to let her wrap things up neatly before passing the reins to another consultant.

DanielleQ · Jul 17, 2007

I don't think those are the shows she's talking about!

DanielleQ · Jul 17, 2007

But I could absolutely be wrong, right?

I think the latter what would she do give the customers back their money if she has open shows. I look for Laura's name in CN for July and Aug sales think of all the upcoming hosts to call and cram in before Aug whatever. Maybe you can get the rest of your years shows in in a few weeks so you will have some extra income to get the next thing going.

OMGoodness! My eyes are tired from trying to read this whole thread! I was gone over the weekend and have been playing catch-up. Saw this when someone posted today.

This has just been crazy!! All of yall have cracked me up that's for sure. And did some good come backs to the "basher."

All I got to add it I sure wish they would make themselves known. If you are going to post something at least have the balls to let us know who you are.

I have 3 shows left for July, and I have 7 "other shows" for August so far... one August host wants to have her PC show anyway, so we're just closing it before August 13th (when my termination is final).

They gave me 30 days notice. Thankfully, I do have a very good friend thats staying with PC and I know she'll take care of my customers if I need her to, so no worries. I do not intend on leaving my customers out in the cold at any time. I have relationships with too many people to just sever those ties and burn those bridges.

tpchefrebecca · Jul 17, 2007

Oh Laura! I just saw this today. I wish you the best of luck!

Termination isn't newI know this was said earlier but just so you all know that this isn't something new HO is doing. A year and a half ago several people left for TOHE (some from my upline) and they were terminated as well. Although, I recall hearing that they were terminated (I can't think of the wording but something like in bad standing) but to the point that they could not return to PC if they wanted to return.

It was at the end of the year that they were wanting to go back to director and one person asked why they were waiting and they said so they could get the Incentive they earned. I recall some did want to still sell PC but wanted, like Laura, to try something else. As far as I understood it some of them had earned Incentive Levels 2 and 3. It was my understanding as Laura said you still had to be an active consultant at the time the awards were presented and none of them received their incentives at the time or the free products at that time since technically they were terminated at the time the incentives were presented.

This is a new trend that even my full time job is going toward. You quit, you may give your 2 weeks but you are out of here that day.

PChefPEI · Jul 17, 2007

Way to go, Laura, for doing what you feel is best for you, your family and your career! You are an inspiration to me and to many others, I'm sure.

Good luck!

Cindycooks · Jul 17, 2007

how are they and/or the company doing anyway? Anybody know?

chef_kimmo · Jul 17, 2007

I have heard from one or two of them but I can never tell if they are just saying it is GREAT because they would not admist otherwise. My previous hospitality has gone on a few trips with them but we have spoke in a while. I have heard some consultants who were on ground floor had signed hundreds but have also heard there was a promotion to get the kit at half price and many of those who signed during that period were kit nappers.

Guess that would a lesson learned that we don't want a kit to go on special at half price or we would most likely loose those signed.

chef_kimmo · Jul 17, 2007

Laura,

I realized that I did not start out by wishing you luck. I am willing to bet that you will never really get to the bottom of why they terminated you but from all your success with PC, you know you will go far with the other company.

Best of luck to you and if you want to come back after all is said and done I am sure there are many many people who would love to have you on their team.

I'm sorry, I have to respectfully disagree, no matter how you term it, you are eliminating people and going after someone.

Like has been said, they know, the administrators know, God knows and Laura can figure it out if she wants since it is her issue.

This person is capable of doing what ever person on this board is capable of, just others CHOOSE not too. I would much rather fear one of the unknown lurkers from Paige's situation that this. If we are respectful and right in how we run our businesses... "Remember ladies,and Gentlemen, THIS Person is capable of doing this to ANY OF US AT ANY TIME!" is a non-issue.

Amen to that SISTA!!! I for one do not have enough engery to do a witch hunt.... Not even for my own choosing LMAO!!!! Any who, we are supposed to be friends here so lets have a group hug or something......
