She's at it Again: Stirring the Pot on CS!

[BethCooks4U]

There she goes again, stirring the pot. Her business must need a boost or she has an incentive she needs to meet and smells all that new blood over there on CS.

It is SO hard for me to not comment over there - you all know me... BUT I know if I say something it will become all about me so I will let others - I am so glad others are expressing their opinion this time.

There, there, Beth. I know how you feel --- deep breath!

Hugs!!

 

[BethCooks4U]

I know... I am so grateful that we have this spot so we can vent when we need to.

My personality wants things to be "right" and I see her to be so wrong so at least I can get it off my chest that I see her as pfishing there!

You all don't have to agree or even read my rant. I totally understand that we all have different views but to me it's so obvious...


Okay, deep breath! It's done. Thanks.

Several of us emailed Greg yesterday when we saw the post referencing her incentive trip to Cancun. If she truly just wanted to share 'as a friend of cheffers', she would have left out all references to it being associated with her new company.

It would help tremendously if some of her friends here would actually post and ask her to switch to personal email when contacting them. Then again, she has stated before that there are several cheffers who are also in her downline with the other company. Hard to know what is real and what isn't.

I'm with all of you!!!!!!! UGH!!!!!I think the straw that broke the camel's back was her posting the pick with her company prez.It's been just about a year for her, right? I'm wondering if she's plateauing in her biz. That's about the same timeframe that some of the EDs who left PC to go with TOHE hit the skids. Biz was booming and then it started to flatten out. And it was at that point they realized what they had with PC and all they had given up.Live and learn...

I completely agree Beth. I read that thread and wondered why the hell is it on our spot. I commend Vanessa for saying something. I looked for it again last night and I think she deleted it, am I wrong with that?

 

[Mel5497]

Greg deleted it after several of us emailed him.

 

[finley1991]

No it's there...http://www.chefsuccess.com/f18/um-38605/ --- oops... thought you meant the new thread... the one with the pics is gone...My guess is that she will delete it herself later today. Seems to be the pattern with her... she says her piece and then deletes it and runs off for a little while and then reappears.

 

[PampMomof3]

WOW!! I just read her new thread over there! Man, Vanessa summed it up again very well!! Oh, I was originally talking about the thread with the pictures.

 

[BethCooks4U]

I apologize if starting this thread offended anyone.

Many on this forum (DCS) do not know the history over on CS with her and this thread and others like it can confuse them I think. Bringing it over here was not right in a way, I agree and I won't start another such thread in the future in deference to that.

I posted behind the apron because I know that it's between us. I don't want to cause trouble or stir things myself. Just thought I had a place that I could vent about her frequent pfishing. I was asked why she bothers me so much. It's because the forum is for PC consultants and when someone goes there looking to pull new, sometimes struggling consultants away it's just wrong. She would not have gotten by with it if she hadn't been a big poster before leaving PC. I know I'm not the PC police and should just let it go. Actually, I think I have done quite well by not commenting over there.


Thanks for letting me vent.

 

[kcjodih]

I agree, but I too try to keep my mouth shut. Thanks to all of you that sent messages and posted about this.

 

[Mel5497]

The posts bother me because her word choice is very deliberate. She could easily say what she has to say without making any references to her company or that she is a director or that some of her downline are former PC consultants. Those comments are intentional and they are designed to generate inquiry...especially from newbies on the site. I think it's called recruiting.

 

[PampMomof3]

Thanks for letting me vent.

You didn't offend me Beth!! I think you said well!

 

[Gagescorpages]

Beth- not ever offended by your posts!
If it looks like a duck....

 

[finley1991]

I wasn't offended. I like that this is a safe place and area to say those things.

 

[Mel5497]

No offense taken here Beth. (Never, not even close!) If anything, I sympathize and am grateful this part of DCS exists.

 

[ChefLisa]

Beth, you are so funny! You know how so many people agree with you. Stop second guessing your posts.

Even though I am no longer a member of Chef Success (thinking about rejoining), I had to read the thread. Just very typical. However, it is now gone! Glad to see that; or not see it!arty:

 

[chefkathy]

It's all deleted now. I missed Vanessa's post. Can someone give me a recap?I did post saying if she had a problem, she should contact Greg and not post on CS.Maybe I should put her back in ignore.

 

[pamperedbecky]

If it looks like a duck....

YES!! TOTALLY!! I think I even said that about one of her posts a while ago, too.

I couldn't believe it when I popped on CS for a while and saw her post with the pictures!!! How blatant. Hello??? If some people are your "friends" wouldn't you email them with personal pictures?! That's what email is for, not a public forum - especially when she KNOWS what happens every time she posts. I guess lots of people post pics with their kids and other non-PC related things, but hers specifically has to do with her new company. With her, it's so totally deliberate. I know lots of people over at CS have no clue about her history, which is too bad but it's not worth bringing it all up again.

And, Beth, no offense taken AT ALL!!! I wanted to vent about it too.

Since the economy has taken a downtown, I have wondered how her biz is doing because that is totally a luxury. IT's a biz like that that would most likely take a pretty big hit. Maybe that's why she's shown up again. Aahhhh, it's so frustrating!!! I haven't seen any recent replies to her post about where her pics post went, so maybe I"ll have to pop over there and see what's going on......

Oh I was about to go back over there and find it. I'd love a recap too since I missed Vanessa's post as well. This is like my own little soap opera!!

 

[chefkathy]

She's such a beeotch. She had a snarky reply to one of my replies to someone else--didn't even involve her. Off to go put her on ignore again...

 

[pamperedbecky]

She's such a beeotch.

That just cracks me up! I love that. It made me laugh out loud!

Soooo many people just don't see through her ulterior motives. That's what frustrates me.

 

[pamperedbecky]

I don't know why I just spent time doing this.....but I just looked up some of her posts over the last week or so. MANY of them do answer some of the questions posed, but she sneaks in a line like "One of my downline leaders......" or "Back when one of my current consultants sold PC, she had this...blah blah blah" so she does these little subtle plugs and it's so annoying. Are there only a few of us that totally see through that? It's just so sneaky and I just don't respect people like that I guess.


ok, enough of my vent!! I do like to see people call her on it. I guess I'm chicken to do it myself! LOL!!

 

[finley1991]

I wish there were more that could see through it.

 

[mrsbettyboop0000]

I was able to read it this morning by following the link to it, so it must have just been deleted recently. Anyways, Vanessa really put all of her feelings and 2 cents in. She spoke how she felt and I loved it. I agree with all of you and believe that this is and should be for only Pampered Chef Consultants. It would be nice to have them to start answering ?'s before they are allowed to join. So anyways I also love it that we are all so very passionate about Pampered Chef. It's Great, to have this in common with all of you!! :love0010::approve:

But what did she say??? I missed it.

 

[chefkathy]

Awww...Janet is so nice. She just PM'd me over on CS that she is sorry that you-know-who was so rude to me. Janet wants her to go away, too.

 

[finley1991]

Basically Venessa told her all of what we are say... basically what Becky said in her above post.I so wish she would go away too...

 

[baychef]

Dang it, I missed it but I know who you are talking about. Same senario, I bet, different tactic and method!!:devil:

I have a question too. If someone who posts on her (not who you are referring to) about a service provided that helps our business, isn't that too "self promotion". I have no problem with this person's business and it is not another DS company, but a service she sells to support our business.

I just don't think it is fair to just zero in on one who has made it clear in past "threads" that she is innocent but is walking and talking like a duck!

I agree I don't think the other person should be allowed to sell her wares either. She makes money off of cheffers. I asked the administrators about all that self-promotion (she isn't the only one who does that) and they said they haven't put restrictions on what they put on their signature line. Personally, I feel that's self promotion too and I don't feel it's a "fine line". If you are using your membership to make money (or recruit) you are self promoting - no matter what you are selling - other DS products, jewelry, etc.
