Greedy People Taking Advantage of the Company

Click For Summary
The discussion centers around a consultant's desire for more incentives to attend a conference, reflecting a broader sentiment about entitlement and expectations within the direct sales industry. Many contributors express frustration over perceived greed and entitlement, questioning whether incentives should be expected or earned. They highlight the generosity of the company and the various opportunities for earning rewards that are already available. The conversation includes anecdotes about personal work experiences, emphasizing that hard work is often met with increased responsibilities rather than rewards. Participants argue that while incentives can motivate, they should not create an expectation of receiving rewards without effort. The importance of balancing incentives to avoid overwhelming consultants is also noted, along with a recognition that new consultants might find value in the incentives that veteran consultants may view as excessive. Overall, the dialogue underscores a tension between the desire for motivation through incentives and the need for consultants to engage in productive business practices to earn them.

Is it possible to get PC burnout?? Do I really need more kitchen tools? Where am I going to put it all????????

HA! And YES!!!!

That's why I decided to start giving my free products away at my twice-yearly host appreciation event. I'm using it to honor my top hosts! I never thought I would say I had enough PC product! But it happened!!!!

I keep trying to give it away to my team (but they would have to actually show up to a meeting to take it home) and I've sold some to my team/cluster and on CS. I also gave some as gifts for Mother's Day. But along the way I've also acquired more than enough for personal use, too, as well. A friend who helped me pack commented on all my SA and challenged me to use it all at once. :rolleyes:
 
I thought I would never see the day too that I had to much...many of the retired items are starting to pile up!! I did make a point to have only the current items in certain parts of my kitchen and office. I usually go through my doubles, keep what I will either want or need for any reason, then I give them to my team at the first meeting of the new product line. Some of the newest consultants love this.

I do like the Cluster bucks, however, and may use them for events at all meetings. Have too much to think about right now so hopefully in the future this will happen.
 
Just one last though about the incentives offered... I read this today... thought the part about the necklace was a good reminder of the impact earning an incentive can have... no matter how big OR small!

How romantic!!!!:love0010: My first job out of college was at McDonalds but I didn't meet any romatic connections!!! I did have and affair with the food, however!!!:D:D

I can't knock fast food jobs or any jobs in this day and age. Anyone who has enough integrity to gain employment has my respect no matter where (well as long as it isn't at a "bunny ranch" that is!!)
