Based on quick research: "For a job, the required education and skills might be minimal and specific to the tasks at hand, allowing for quick entry into the workforce without extensive training. However, higher education, specialized training, and continuous skill development are often essential for a career, as they lay the foundation for long-term growth, advancement, and the ability to take on increasingly complex roles within a chosen field." One of my biggest pet peeves is that huns mistake a job for a career and are unhappy because they are working a job, not a career. I hope I am making sense :)
This is the point I was trying to make there is a difference between a job and a career. I am not shaming anyone who has the same job title as her and also she was not a medical professional. She was a secretary in a medical office.
@@IAMCCSuarezI'm suspect of even that tbh because I was called the front desk or office manager. Nobody calls themselves a secretary in my profession. It's an outdated term.
@@SaraSG1 That's what I thought, too - the only place I'd heard "secretary" for years was "legal secretary." I'm currently applying for clerical support staff positions at the municipal and State level, and both have very clear job descriptions for both "Secretary" and "Administrative Assistant." I was surprised!
@SaraSG1 when I worked the front desk at a hair salon during college (about 10 yrs ago) I was called a secretary, but all the hair dressers were in their 50s to 60s, and I've never heard it called that anywhere else.
She came out a video saying she is moving to a smaller cheaper town and province because where she lives is too expensive. But why would you have to do that if you're making all this money with Monat 😂
A friend of mine who does Texas posted about how it had enabled her to pay off bills and all kinds of things. She failed to disclose that she had moved from New York City back to her small Southern hometown where her parents had property she could live on . She also has a job at the local university. She's incredibly talented and very good at the job she does but her success is not because of plexus
I'm just thrown that she's like "I worked a 9 to 5 and a side job in photography, had a VERY ENERGETIC 3 year old at home (which 3 year old isn't?) and was pregnant...and I was tired." NO SH*T! You played yourself, lady!
Also, when she talks about being miserable, that sounds a little depressive if you ask me. I'm NOT diagnosing. When my kids were little, and husband was working, and I was working, and life was intense, it took a while to realize I needed therapy and found out it was post-partum on top of "normal" young family stress.
Whenever I see women like this I always immediately think “WHERE ARE THEIR HUSBANDS??” She’s talking about how exhausted she is and how she was barely handling being a mother and a wife. And that’s absolutely understandable, being a mother and a full time employee is exhausting. You’re telling me your husband wouldn’t do some cooking? Some laundry? Aren’t you supposed to be partners?? It’s just another manifestation of how the patriarchy leads to these sorts of scams and how they target women specifically. I mean there are books about this, like Fair Play and Invisible Women.
when she was talking about that she said, "i had no energy to be a wife, i didn't want to cook, i didn't want to clean" (8:58) and that string of words in that order was immediately a red flag to me, sounds like her husband might not be doing those things bc they don't believe it's part of what a husband should be doing....
EXACTLY. I was like, you’re pregnant, you have a 3 year old toddler, a FT job- AND you have to do all the errands and house chores on your two days off??? Maybe fire your husband rather than change “careers”???
@@heyguysits-nicoleagreed. I really like that one dude who’s trying to teach fellow men about mental load… that even requesting your partner to create a list of things for you to do, adds to your partners mental load… Her husband needs that guy in his life.
I’m a stay at home mom. You know what gives me the freedom to be a SAHM? My husband’s bomb ass job. If I got a job or started a business I would no longer be a SAHM I’d be a WFHM.
100%!!! It kills me when MLMers say they are SAHMs. I did Monat for about 8 months and worked WAY more and did so many useless “trainings” that there is no way anyone can say they are a SAHM or SAHW working with an MLM
Physical therapist assistant here. PTA require 2 years of an associate degree along with clinicals and licensing exam. It is a career however it is limited in growth. In a clinic it is possible to be a practicing PTA and work at the front desk if it's small. Some PTAs are clinical directors as well. Just wanted to mention.
Maybe she was still in clinicals and never really got to work on her own hence the secretary work. Some PTs don’t let students do much of the hands on work
I worked in a chiro office and had a similar experince. It was family owned so they didn't wanna hire more people so I was doing patient intakes, pulling up insurance, pulling medical records, putting people in CBP, assisting with X-Rays (eventually to be trained to take them as well), and all the normal secretary stuff. It sucked and burned me out so quickly that I quit less than a year in. PS: I'm not saying a chiro assistant is = to a PTA. And I'm not gonna debate the validity of chiropractic care, I was literally just there for a paycheck & location wise it couldn't be beat.
And she was presenting it, as if she left her career in the medical field, which is not true. That’s my point not trying to invalidate anyone who has that same job title as I said multiple times in this video I apologize that this is not coming off properly apparently.💖
Canadian here. Her tax bracket under 50 grand is roughly 30%. Her Employment Insurance ( including mat leave) would be 55%. Her Covid benefits would have been $2000 a month. By the way, I'm a photographer too and my walls are covered with photos...her walls are scarily empty ( to my mind). Love Ya girl
Canadian here. Lots of nuance in taxes vs the US. On average (average Canadians) will pay more taxes than the average US citizen. But that money also covers health care, among other things that Americans have to pay for or get insurance. Wealthy Americans pay more tax than wealthy Canadians, however wealthy Americans have access to more tax breaks than wealthy Canadians.
yeah I'll never forget when i got a new job with a huge salary increase, but because of my taxable benefits and my new tax bracket i wasn't making that much more than before. @@victoriakatofficial
My favorite is how these girls are always like - “in the beginning I thought, nope! It’s not for me!” - and then they go on to tell us how it changed their lives 🙄 it’s all the same damn story.
@eljayism around here, I heard a lot of "Woo-hoo, PAID VACATION!" My boss was "essential" and, like a lot of other essential people and their employees, I took home less in my paycheck than a tax-free unemployment check. (My husband, who was out of work for ten weeks, had taxes taken out of his unemployment during the shutdown, and that was refunded in full. Even after the taxes, his takehome was more than mine.) I don't begrudge anyone the money they got, don't get me wrong. It just would have been nice to see something extra in my paycheck while I risked my and my husband's health. /my pettiness
@@RebekahSue it's true, I was making way more money than I did at my real, but shitty, job. My husband was still at work though, as an essential worker and didn't get anything out of it but being understaffed and stressed as people got covid, supply chain issues, etc.
Canadian here and Former Physiotherapy Assistant here- she was not a physio, she would put machines on patient’s, potential did rehab work, take payments and book appointment. Get paid abit over MINIMUM WAGE.. (17-19$/hr) its bottom of the barrel job in the physio/fitness world. The physio run you to the ground.
I don't understand why stay at home moms feel like they absolutely must have a job from home. Being a stay at home parent is a full time job. It's okay to "just " be a stay at home parent.
Being able to be a strictly stay at home mom is still something a lot of families want, but can't afford. Most couples (forget even having kids yet) need a dual income to keep a roof over their heads these days. If you're the average young couple starting a family, it's not getting any easier. Working from home is one way to afford it in their eyes, I spose. It is a full time job to be a parent, period. If you're working, you're working, but they can work while keeping an eye on their kids. I just don't know why they have to sugar coat it, tho. Go big or go home.
Canadian here and we have an amazing Employment Insurance program and the government was giving out extra "covid benefits" to help people during that time
I believe that after a couple of years in any MLM the scammed become scammers because there's no way that you can be blinded for so many years. I believe that eventually they figure out how it works and continue knowing that what they are saying is a complete lie. Once you know you're embellishing the truth and still continue, you now have become the scammer.
Your comments about "building a business" while being a "stay at home mom" are spot-on. I've been a SAHM for 8 years and now that my kids are in school full-time, I'm working on setting up a freelance business as a copyeditor. On paper, I have 7 hours a day to work on my business, yet somehow that time shrinks so quickly because I'm also still doing many of the household activities and school runs and cooking, etc. because my husband has a demanding job. If my kids were home full-time there's no way in hell I could be setting up this business without completely neglecting the house or kids or my own sanity (or all three). I hate that they shame moms with very young kids for not being "girl bosses" at the same time. It's hard as hell to just keep your kids clean and fed and happy!
Someone from my town (in the UK) just posted about joining Monat and my heart sunk. Weirdly enough as I was messaging her to let her know of the risks (her post mentioned being a lonely mother, which made me cry, clearly was preyed upon) of being in an MLM, and you uploaded this which I was notified of! So I’ve just sent her this video, and I’m really hoping she sees the light and gets out before it’s too late and she’s lost a lot financially 🥺🥺
Monat will only take away from her child and family and her. She need career training into a stable job, even if it's housekeeping at a hotel or business or being a receptionist at an office. These ladies keep downplaying stable jobs and I feel so many idolize celebrity figures and don't see them working, but they don't see that every aspect of their lives is work and there's a lot of luck involved in there as well.
I'm a medical secretary and yes,,it's a lot of work and doctors can be very pushy but i rather have that with advantages than losing money (and hair) over an mlm
Canadian Physiotherapist here! 🫡 Physiotherapy is the Canadian/British/Australian way of saying Physical Therapist. A Physical Therapy Assistant has education (a diploma I think). They assist the physical therapists by working with patients, showing them exercises and progressing exercise programs set by the Physical Therapist. It sounds like she worked in a small clinic that didn't have administrative staff, so she was also doing booking and billing, answering phones ect.
So, it is a career, but unfortunately not a very high paying one and with not a lot of opportunities for growth. I've worked with a lot of great PTAs and it's sad to see her go down this path!
Also, her saying that she left a "physiotherapy career" seems intentionally misleading. She makes it sound like she was a physiotherapist, which is a licensed medical professional that has at least a Master's degree. A bit of an appeal to authority attempt in my opinion.
@@klundy7 I agree with this, but the focus on Monat girl's admin duties by CC is also a little disingenuous too (especially given the replies I am seeing...) and I think really harms good arguments and commentary. I do think the Monat girl did not do a great job describing her former job and made it very convoluted so I can see why one might think she was "just a secretary in a medical office."
It’s interesting how she made her life sound so magical after she got laid off but then in order to share the opportunities, she said her husband acknowledge that she was not doing anything she enjoyed
That lady needs to workshop her story lol she was running out of savings but her husband suggested Monat for fellowship and some extra spending money?? Also not mentioning she went back to work after being laid off in 2020 until all the sudden she’s quitting her job to do Monat full time! Get it together , lady!
Agreed. That part of her story did not compute. My guess is she got laid off at the start of Covid and collected the $2000/month federal benefit for the next year while starting down the MLM path.
100% on the last part. Get that bread and get home to the things you really love. Nothing wrong with having a job you can get paid well enough to do the things you enjoy.
Absolutely. I‘m a teacher and love my job, it is insanely stressful but so rewarding. I say this and stay in this job because here in Switzerland it pays very well and I really appreciate this privilege. Were that not the case and I had to work this emotionally taxing job while worrying about making ends meet? Hell no. I‘d take a monotonous job with financial stability over it any time.
FIVE MINUTES AGO! yesss!!! one time i went to go see my mom and she was watching your videos!!! shes been in mlms in the past but i think that your channel will slowly open her to the truth about all of them. thank you for the hard work you do every day!!
Another phrase on these pitches that goes on my list of common ones they use that annoy me like nails on a chalkboard: "all the things*... I'll add it next to "this business" and "pouring into"
Canadian here. No one complains about taxes more than an American. Our taxes aren't much more than in the US, but of course we get tons of services, refunds, HEALTH CARE, and other incentives. Basically we get back more than we pay in, which is how taxes are supposed to work.
When you said, "That's life!!" YES!!!!! Say it lounder!!!!!!! I can't tell you how much I felt that. I work from home now and have for the past 4 years. Everyone thinks it's easier!!! Yes it is nice to be at home and work in my pj's but I still work from 9-5 and still have to fit in all the time with kids and housework!
A Physical Therapist/Physiotherapist Assistant is a career path and works under the supervision of a Physical Therapist/Physiotherapist. If her clinic was small, then she may have been doing the front office work too. We have a dedicated secretary/front office person who does billing/scheduling, etc. Our main clinic has 5-6 secretaries, so it can be overwhelming plus if she was trying to see patients as well.
According to Dictionary.com , a job is a post of employment. The definition of a career is an occupation or profession, especially one requiring special training followed as one's lifework. And she was presenting it, as if she left her career in the medical field, which is not true. That’s my point not trying to invalidate anyone who has that same job title as I said multiple times in this video I apologize that this is not coming off properly apparently.
1. I don't have a career, I have a job. I don't want a career, nor would I describe my HR desk-job as a career; 2. The job market and its structure is still based on times where one paycheck was enough to survive - and mostly also live comfortably. It's not 1950s USA suberbia anymore, why do we still act like it is.
The old guard where that was the reality is still alive, so it's still pushed as they are making the "rules" we have to engage in. Though for the last 20 years it's been pretty bleak. Trades and being licensed medical professionals (Respiratory therapists, Nurses, Doctors, Physician Assistants) generally arent true careers. I'll say you're doing a job I could NEVER do. Being a nurse manager is hard enough.
@@gingerlee726 I think what they mean is that they do a job. They don't want to make a career out of it and get promoted and so on. They are happy with the job they have and they're not trying to get a better one.
@gingerlee726 HR is a career for many but maybe for this person it's just a job and honestly probably would like to be doing something else if possible.
I've meant a more lower level HR position... Sorry I don't know how else to call it, English is not my first language... Of course you can have a career in HR! Sorry if I made anyone angry.
I find it interesting that the section with the most jump cuts in her video was when she was trying to prove the chats/zoom calls are actual helpful resources 🤣🤣
might be a Canadian field, but a physiotherapist assistant is a career. Requires a specific diploma and to pass clinical exams. It’s definitely the lower end of the health field payscale, but still decent wage and still actually in the health field. It’s not super normal to also be the secretary or front desk person at the practice from my knowledge but I can see it being expected/accepted at smaller practices where the office duties would be minimal. The health field has many smaller careers so I don’t blame you for not having heard of this.
Canadian here: income taxes are super high here, way higher than the US. We do also pay into EI. I’m basically middle class and about 25-30% of my pay is deducted for taxes, EI and CPP (Canada pension plan). Regarding shutdowns: We were originally told 2 weeks but most shut down much longer. However, anyone that was laid off, or even had their pay cut due to hours being cut, was eligible for “CERB” (Canada emergency response benefit) which was $2000/mth. The government immediately approved anyone that applied and it wasn’t taxed at the time (did have to pay on it when taxes were filed). This was to try to make sure everyone could stay on top of their bills as much as possible. The government eventually did an audit and asked for the money back from people that didn’t have their pay impacted by shutdowns.
My kids were home from school yesterday 30 minutes before I was done working from home and I wanted to lose my actual mind. I am 100 percent certain I would never want my kids to be there all day while I work my 9-5
When I went to college, there was an older (early 30's) lady in my class. The reason she went back to college, was because her former boss, while great, instead of giving her a living raise would just give her a different title LOL. She went from Receptionist, to Secretary, to Administrative Assistant, to Head of Human Resources, and even Vice President of Sales. There were only 2 of them in the office. He had a shipping business LOL. Edit: I was fresh out of high school, most of us were, which is why we thought she was "older" LOL
I know this is not at all the point of this video, but thank you for talking about Better Help. My BH therapist changed my life. And it was my only option. I have great insurance but every provider in my area had a 6+ month waiting list for new clients. I couldn’t wait that long. I’m fully aware of why people don’t like BH, but everytime I see the tangents about it on social media my first thought is what if that’s someone’s only option? What if they were just deterred from life changing or life saving care?
I'm a physiotherapy assistant (PTA) in a clinic in Canada. PTA's assist the physio in completing the treatment they prescribe to people. We apply physical treatment like ultrasounds, muscle stimulation, physical traction, among other things. We also help teach people how to safely do their exercises at home. We are usually responsible for equipment up keep and cleaning, having laundry done, ordering treatment related product, etc. Most places have you run reception outside regular clinic hours or have you work part time reception. It can pan out into a well paying career IF you get into the hospitals or really nice, high end clinics. Otherwise, due to no regulation in our field, we don't get paid well often. Barely a livable wage if that in a lot of cases. I went to school for 2 years and it was still difficult to get a job with benefits. It's tough out here so I'm not surprised a fellow Canadian PTA was sucked in by Monat. I love my job but I know one day I will have to go back to school for a better career.
I feel like most, most people in mlms seriously just have a very expensive hobby st the end of the day. That's what scentsy was for me at the end of the day. I never had more money come in than what went out.
I’m glad that many commenters were nice to her. She’ll maybe block them but I hope she heeds their advice. She’s seems so sweet and deserves way better. My fellow Canadians covered all the taxes, employment insurance and Covid checks appropriately.
That "vacation because of Covid lockdown because people were dying" comment she let slip makes me question the sweetness. She reminds me of the women I knew in the fundamentalist cult I was in. It's a front.
GIRL…Britney’s book was incredible!! I was shocked by a lot of her story, but I loved it all. And I love her even more now! This Monat hun seems really sweet. I sincerely hope she gets out of it.
8:59 "I had no energy to be a wife, I didn't want to cook, I didn't want to clean..." So for her being a wife means cooking and cleaning? It's not the situation when husbands earns money and wife stays home and does chores - she worked full time in this physiotherapy place. Patriarchy at finest.
When she was cheering about vid in 2020 I literally felt nauseous... ma'am people died. There were refrigerated trucks in front of hospitals because the morgue was full. Like truly truly gross that she was celebrating.
Just as a Canadian who was unemployed through COVID. We pay into unemployment insurance, and during COVID we had several stimulus cheques to help with the unemployment also. I don’t obviously know if she qualified/how she did it/how long she was unemployed, but she wouldn’t have gone without government money during this time for sure.
Love the stats to show how terrible these mlms are. I feel like most who don't have a basic education or went to college don't get it and are easily fooled.
I joined Monat 6ish years ago but never really did it, but the girl who I was under was ballinggg - she had the Caddy and was always going on the trips and shopping and getting her hair done with extensions and these vibrant colors and keeping it up (yall know how expensive that is) and out of nowhere she just disappeared. She went from posting constantly to nothing at all for years.. her mom has tagged her in a photo here and there but no more than 2-3 pics in 3 years. It’s so wild how fast you can fall!!
Yes, unemployed insurance is a thing in Canada. Plus, during Covid shutdown the federal government provided a $2000 monthly payment to people who couldn't go to work.
27:35- When she talks about all of the trips… who paid? Who booked the hotel and flight? When my work sends me to travel, they book my flight and hotel. I don’t pay a dime. They send someone to pick me up from the airport and drop me back off. I get per diem for food… this is what a “paid-for, free trip” looks like.
Actually a physiotherapist assistant is a job in canada you have to go to school for. My cousin did it actually. I think it was 3 or 4 years. But they are like a secretary and they help do other things. So she is a secretary and does other things. She had a really good job and was probably making really decent money. I can't believe she quit it
They are not like a secretary at all. Very rarely do they have to do secretarial duties like this woman had to do, she might’ve been at a smaller clinic where some people overlap responsibilities. They treat patients and can do everything physical therapist can do except evaluate, reassess, and perform discharges they have to have our order signed by a physical therapist. Just like a physician assistant has to have things approved by the MD/DO, same with the PTA. They are in the medical field, it can be a career I know many career physical therapist assistance instead of doing it, 40 years. You can be a clinical rehab Director, you can work in insurance, you can work clinically in all types of health facilities like hospitals, outpatient, pediatrics, home health, the list goes on and on and on. They are not like a secretary, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with being a secretary, but that’s just not what a PTA does they they are medical professionals
Hey CC I’m also a former physiotherapy assistant(PTA) in Canada, just to answer your question about the career. It is very common in a clinic setting for assistants to be doing a lot of additional admin, laundry, cleaning, and other non-patient care duties. This is especially true for smaller, private practice clinics that may not have proper admin staff. Additionally, clinics typically don’t pay well either approx $17-20/hr (minimum wage in Ontario is $16.55) for a career that requires a 2 year diploma. I’d be willing to bet she was burnt out, underpaid and looking for a way out
Aww, one of those comments on there was mine! Ive learned all I know about these scams from you and the other amazing creators! Keep up the great work!❤
It’s actually really common for people who only have certification (like physical therapy assistant, occupational therapy assistant, CNA) to be cross trained. I don’t think she is putting herself on a pedestal. It’s just the nature of healthcare to be cross trained.
I'm SO happy I found you! I saw a reference to your channel come up from a subreddit (not sure how much I can say but it has the letters MS in it... 😁) and I'm so glad people pointed me your way! I've had my fair share of run-ins with MLMs (especially over the past decade and a half) but this specific story is wild to me because I was friends with a woman who could seriously exchange this story for her own except she was a dental hygienist and she joined Younique, not Monat. I mean... SAME. EXACT. STORY. It's absolutely a cult. It is aaaabsolutely a cult. Also, most of my in-laws are in Utah where a bunch of MLM headquarters are and several of my in-laws joined different MLMs in order to "change their lives" and "take charge of their finances" only to go deeply into debt and face financial ruin all because they trusted their upline's lies. ANYWAY. I'm thrilled I found you! Came for the MLM exposure and I'm staying for the snark! 💜
PT student here! PTAs are in the medical field and are trained specify for INTERVENTION of musculoskeletal conditions :) So they cannot evaluate and diagnose like PTs can, but are still an important team member in the clinic. Aka medical field.
@@IAMCCSuarez From her quote at around 7:03, she says she was a physiotherapy assistant and a secretary. While she may be lying about that, it is very common for small clinics to skip hiring a front desk worker altogether and requires a physiotherapy assistant to schedule patients on top of treating patients. In Canada, a degree in physiotherapy assistance is needed for this. But again, she could be lying about being a PTA.
She said she was a secretary, though she wasn’t a physical therapy assistant. There’s a clear difference between being a secretary for a medical office and being a physicians assistant which she was not .
Canadian Here: 1) yes we are taxed more. 2) during COVID we had a program called CERB which provided anyone laid off with 2000 dollars a month. (I’m really digging back in my memory, but I think that’s what it was). We do also have programs like Employment Insurance that are available to anyone who is laid off outside of COVID.
We have unemployment, disability, welfare and other government funded social insiders programs in Canada. Some employers also offer disability though the benefits insurance companies as well
This made me realize that, besides people who are vulnerable or in a bad spot, this is especially dangerous for people who simply aren't... I dunno, fleshed out?? Like they have no hobbies or passions or "their thing", no INTERESTS. There is this empty space in their life and this MLM stuff fits right into, it becomes their hobby. When someone already has a hobby that is enjoyable, they will be less likely to have no issues with what a huge time sink this is. They want to be able to do Their Thing, and not having the time is a big minus. But for a person like this, who doesn't seem to have anything she wants to do in her free time just for herself? It's a plus!
Hihi! My mum was a physio for 20+ years. Very rewarding but challenging job and no shade to anyone who has to step back. A lot of healthcare workers have a love/hate relationship with their jobs cos it's very intense, and (at least in the UK) it's well known that NHS staff have to deal with a lot of nonsense.
For reference, physiotherapy assistants are common in Canada. Physician’s assistants are very, very rare. Most Canadians have no idea what physician’s assistants are, and I hadn’t heard of them whatsoever until I moved to the US.
I went to college when i needed something for myself. I mean she might already have a degree and stuff but you can always further your education or take courses for hobbies or something.
31:46 I’ve thought the same thing! It’s a hook to keep them in because if they earn all the smart start bonuses it’s decent but once you’re no longer in that period, it drops off right off
As a personal assistant there are career advancement in advamced levels of being a personal assistant. You can move up in certain industries and also in the level of personal assistant you are. Just want to say that for anyone feeling stuck,most likely like the monat hun felt, there are ways to advance that career path! Personal assistants make the world go round!
Idk about Canada, but the US has multiple levels for Physical Therapists. The ones I've worked around are DPT (doctor), PT, PT Assistant. There are others but idk if theyre common (i.e. Certified Exercise Specialist, PT Aide, Athletic Trainer). It's my understanding that PTAs are kind of halfway between an MA and a PA in terms what they can do. But regardless of licensing, if she was working the front desk I don't see how she would have time to treat patients. ofc she's the only one who knows for certain 🤷🏻
It's similar in Canada. The only way I can think she'd be doing front desk stuff is if it was just her and the PT. She should've just looked to work at a different clinic.
Based on quick research: "For a job, the required education and skills might be minimal and specific to the tasks at hand, allowing for quick entry into the workforce without extensive training. However, higher education, specialized training, and continuous skill development are often essential for a career, as they lay the foundation for long-term growth, advancement, and the ability to take on increasingly complex roles within a chosen field." One of my biggest pet peeves is that huns mistake a job for a career and are unhappy because they are working a job, not a career. I hope I am making sense :)
Perfect sense!!
This is the point I was trying to make there is a difference between a job and a career. I am not shaming anyone who has the same job title as her and also she was not a medical professional. She was a secretary in a medical office.
@@IAMCCSuarezI'm suspect of even that tbh because I was called the front desk or office manager. Nobody calls themselves a secretary in my profession. It's an outdated term.

She came out a video saying she is moving to a smaller cheaper town and province because where she lives is too expensive. But why would you have to do that if you're making all this money with Monat 😂
A friend of mine who does Texas posted about how it had enabled her to pay off bills and all kinds of things. She failed to disclose that she had moved from New York City back to her small Southern hometown where her parents had property she could live on . She also has a job at the local university. She's incredibly talented and very good at the job she does but her success is not because of plexus
The lies are crazy!
I will bite. WHICH province is cheaper??? They all cost too much to live in!!
Or unsaturated market
I mean, to be fair, Ontario is incredibly expensive! Actually, most of Canada can be very expensive.
I'm just thrown that she's like "I worked a 9 to 5 and a side job in photography, had a VERY ENERGETIC 3 year old at home (which 3 year old isn't?) and was pregnant...and I was tired." NO SH*T! You played yourself, lady!
Right, and I'm a single mom, and I understand being a parent and working or tired. I'm not trying to shill scams, and prey on poorer individuals.
LMFAOOO
I also had a 9 to 5 and did photography on the side and had 3 kids. These people want the money w/o the work. 🙄
Also, when she talks about being miserable, that sounds a little depressive if you ask me. I'm NOT diagnosing. When my kids were little, and husband was working, and I was working, and life was intense, it took a while to realize I needed therapy and found out it was post-partum on top of "normal" young family stress.
It's giving: "My husband doesn't shoulder any of the household chores, parenting duties, or emotional labor."
Whenever I see women like this I always immediately think “WHERE ARE THEIR HUSBANDS??” She’s talking about how exhausted she is and how she was barely handling being a mother and a wife. And that’s absolutely understandable, being a mother and a full time employee is exhausting. You’re telling me your husband wouldn’t do some cooking? Some laundry? Aren’t you supposed to be partners?? It’s just another manifestation of how the patriarchy leads to these sorts of scams and how they target women specifically. I mean there are books about this, like Fair Play and Invisible Women.
Wonderful point!
They don't mention their partners because then they'd have to admit that their life is actually funded by their partner's income and not the MLM
when she was talking about that she said, "i had no energy to be a wife, i didn't want to cook, i didn't want to clean" (8:58) and that string of words in that order was immediately a red flag to me, sounds like her husband might not be doing those things bc they don't believe it's part of what a husband should be doing....
EXACTLY.
I was like, you’re pregnant, you have a 3 year old toddler, a FT job- AND you have to do all the errands and house chores on your two days off???
Maybe fire your husband rather than change “careers”???
@@heyguysits-nicoleagreed. I really like that one dude who’s trying to teach fellow men about mental load… that even requesting your partner to create a list of things for you to do, adds to your partners mental load…
Her husband needs that guy in his life.

I’m a stay at home mom. You know what gives me the freedom to be a SAHM? My husband’s bomb ass job. If I got a job or started a business I would no longer be a SAHM I’d be a WFHM.
100%!!! It kills me when MLMers say they are SAHMs. I did Monat for about 8 months and worked WAY more and did so many useless “trainings” that there is no way anyone can say they are a SAHM or SAHW working with an MLM
HA!!!!! I never thought about it like that. So sad how predatory the language really is and the little nuances you have to listen for.
Physical therapist assistant here. PTA require 2 years of an associate degree along with clinicals and licensing exam. It is a career however it is limited in growth. In a clinic it is possible to be a practicing PTA and work at the front desk if it's small. Some PTAs are clinical directors as well. Just wanted to mention.
She talks about it like it's almost shameful.
Maybe she was still in clinicals and never really got to work on her own hence the secretary work. Some PTs don’t let students do much of the hands on work
I worked in a chiro office and had a similar experince. It was family owned so they didn't wanna hire more people so I was doing patient intakes, pulling up insurance, pulling medical records, putting people in CBP, assisting with X-Rays (eventually to be trained to take them as well), and all the normal secretary stuff. It sucked and burned me out so quickly that I quit less than a year in.
PS: I'm not saying a chiro assistant is = to a PTA. And I'm not gonna debate the validity of chiropractic care, I was literally just there for a paycheck & location wise it couldn't be beat.
Thanks for posting this! I was really curious about how that all works.
And she was presenting it, as if she left her career in the medical field, which is not true. That’s my point not trying to invalidate anyone who has that same job title as I said multiple times in this video I apologize that this is not coming off properly apparently.💖
Canadian here. Her tax bracket under 50 grand is roughly 30%. Her Employment Insurance ( including mat leave) would be 55%. Her Covid benefits would have been $2000 a month. By the way, I'm a photographer too and my walls are covered with photos...her walls are scarily empty ( to my mind). Love Ya girl
She was probably also getting ccb depending on how much her husband makes
didn’t even think of that… how can you have a career of creativity and your walls are scarce
It's weird
@@annikalouise572 some people are that critical of their own work (🤚🏽me, smh)
All photographers don't have the same decor. Your fact is irrelevant.
Canadian here. Lots of nuance in taxes vs the US. On average (average Canadians) will pay more taxes than the average US citizen. But that money also covers health care, among other things that Americans have to pay for or get insurance. Wealthy Americans pay more tax than wealthy Canadians, however wealthy Americans have access to more tax breaks than wealthy Canadians.
Also fellow Canadian here, it also depends on your monthly income as well.
Different tax brackets pay different amounts of tax.
yeah I'll never forget when i got a new job with a huge salary increase, but because of my taxable benefits and my new tax bracket i wasn't making that much more than before. @@victoriakatofficial
Another Canuck here… yes so many things come in to play for sure
Yep. I’m a Canadian living in the US. I pay way more here in tax plus healthcare costs than I would in Canada for taxes.
My favorite is how these girls are always like - “in the beginning I thought, nope! It’s not for me!” - and then they go on to tell us how it changed their lives 🙄 it’s all the same damn story.
Yep.. it’s all an echo chamber 🙄
Yeah they do all have the same story just with different variations.

People are always dying.
That’s what popped into my mind.jeez people were sick and dying “yay vacation “ 🤦♀️
@eljayism around here, I heard a lot of "Woo-hoo, PAID VACATION!" My boss was "essential" and, like a lot of other essential people and their employees, I took home less in my paycheck than a tax-free unemployment check. (My husband, who was out of work for ten weeks, had taxes taken out of his unemployment during the shutdown, and that was refunded in full. Even after the taxes, his takehome was more than mine.) I don't begrudge anyone the money they got, don't get me wrong. It just would have been nice to see something extra in my paycheck while I risked my and my husband's health.
/my pettiness
@@RebekahSue it's true, I was making way more money than I did at my real, but shitty, job. My husband was still at work though, as an essential worker and didn't get anything out of it but being understaffed and stressed as people got covid, supply chain issues, etc.
@@gingerlee726 so not the right thing to say. I'm too pissed to even explain why
Canadian here and Former Physiotherapy Assistant here- she was not a physio, she would put machines on patient’s, potential did rehab work, take payments and book appointment. Get paid abit over MINIMUM WAGE.. (17-19$/hr)

Woman who was exploited since her childhood: has a mental breakdown
Monat girlie: "tehehe ✨️✨️Britney moment✨️✨️💅🏻"
Why? Why are you like that?
I don't understand why stay at home moms feel like they absolutely must have a job from home. Being a stay at home parent is a full time job. It's okay to "just " be a stay at home parent.
The patriarchy
Being able to be a strictly stay at home mom is still something a lot of families want, but can't afford. Most couples (forget even having kids yet) need a dual income to keep a roof over their heads these days. If you're the average young couple starting a family, it's not getting any easier. Working from home is one way to afford it in their eyes, I spose. It is a full time job to be a parent, period. If you're working, you're working, but they can work while keeping an eye on their kids. I just don't know why they have to sugar coat it, tho. Go big or go home.
I think the issue is that she was the primary caregiver, worked full time and was also the primary person taking care of the home. Yikes.
This is so weird; “me and Monat.” Imagine everyone does this with their job? “✨ Me and the public school system ✨”
They do. "At my job" is the equivalent because there is often a location. Your comment is a stretch.
She made it sound like a celebrity documentary 😂
Canadian here and we have an amazing Employment Insurance program and the government was giving out extra "covid benefits" to help people during that time
Americans got financial relief too from our government
A lot of people got $2000 per month here in Canada. And correct me if I’m misinformed, but I think the US had like a couple of one time payments?
Yes, similar to the UK.
Lmao. She’s not a Physician’s Assistant she’s an assistant TO the physician. 😂
Solid Office joke! I love finding these in the wild! 👏🏼😆
From what I remember, in Canada Trudeau was giving 2000$ a month for anyone laid off for covid reasons. We do have disability/sick leave/unemployment.
I liked your explanation: these folks are either being scammed or scamming. That’s the perfect, short, direct explanation of an mlm.
I believe that after a couple of years in any MLM the scammed become scammers because there's no way that you can be blinded for so many years. I believe that eventually they figure out how it works and continue knowing that what they are saying is a complete lie. Once you know you're embellishing the truth and still continue, you now have become the scammer.
Your comments about "building a business" while being a "stay at home mom" are spot-on. I've been a SAHM for 8 years and now that my kids are in school full-time, I'm working on setting up a freelance business as a copyeditor. On paper, I have 7 hours a day to work on my business, yet somehow that time shrinks so quickly because I'm also still doing many of the household activities and school runs and cooking, etc. because my husband has a demanding job. If my kids were home full-time there's no way in hell I could be setting up this business without completely neglecting the house or kids or my own sanity (or all three). I hate that they shame moms with very young kids for not being "girl bosses" at the same time. It's hard as hell to just keep your kids clean and fed and happy!
Someone from my town (in the UK) just posted about joining Monat and my heart sunk. Weirdly enough as I was messaging her to let her know of the risks (her post mentioned being a lonely mother, which made me cry, clearly was preyed upon) of being in an MLM, and you uploaded this which I was notified of! So I’ve just sent her this video, and I’m really hoping she sees the light and gets out before it’s too late and she’s lost a lot financially 🥺🥺
Monat will only take away from her child and family and her. She need career training into a stable job, even if it's housekeeping at a hotel or business or being a receptionist at an office.
These ladies keep downplaying stable jobs and I feel so many idolize celebrity figures and don't see them working, but they don't see that every aspect of their lives is work and there's a lot of luck involved in there as well.
Oh no I hope she listens to
You could also advise that she watches the BBC documentary on MLMs. It's on UA-cam too.
I'm a medical secretary and yes,,it's a lot of work and doctors can be very pushy but i rather have that with advantages than losing money (and hair) over an mlm
Of course, it’s very interesting though that she made it seem like she had a career in the medical field when that’s not accurate.
I stopped working out when I saw this and now I'm just laying on the ground watching😂😂😂
This made me laugh way too hard, thanks for that 😂

Canadian Physiotherapist here! 🫡 Physiotherapy is the Canadian/British/Australian way of saying Physical Therapist. A Physical Therapy Assistant has education (a diploma I think). They assist the physical therapists by working with patients, showing them exercises and progressing exercise programs set by the Physical Therapist. It sounds like she worked in a small clinic that didn't have administrative staff, so she was also doing booking and billing, answering phones ect.
So, it is a career, but unfortunately not a very high paying one and with not a lot of opportunities for growth. I've worked with a lot of great PTAs and it's sad to see her go down this path!
Also, her saying that she left a "physiotherapy career" seems intentionally misleading. She makes it sound like she was a physiotherapist, which is a licensed medical professional that has at least a Master's degree. A bit of an appeal to authority attempt in my opinion.
@@klundy7 I agree with this, but the focus on Monat girl's admin duties by CC is also a little disingenuous too (especially given the replies I am seeing...) and I think really harms good arguments and commentary. I do think the Monat girl did not do a great job describing her former job and made it very convoluted so I can see why one might think she was "just a secretary in a medical office."
It’s interesting how she made her life sound so magical after she got laid off but then in order to share the opportunities, she said her husband acknowledge that she was not doing anything she enjoyed
So much content lately! You’re giving the people what they want!! 👏🏼👏🏼
Yeah she is! C C is mt favorite
That lady needs to workshop her story lol she was running out of savings but her husband suggested Monat for fellowship and some extra spending money?? Also not mentioning she went back to work after being laid off in 2020 until all the sudden she’s quitting her job to do Monat full time! Get it together , lady!
Right?! I was confused.
Agreed. That part of her story did not compute. My guess is she got laid off at the start of Covid and collected the $2000/month federal benefit for the next year while starting down the MLM path.
Sounds like girl boss was over extended and may have poor boundaries at home. Also? You don't have to ❤ your job. It's a means to a end. Oy.
100% on the last part. Get that bread and get home to the things you really love. Nothing wrong with having a job you can get paid well enough to do the things you enjoy.
Absolutely. I‘m a teacher and love my job, it is insanely stressful but so rewarding. I say this and stay in this job because here in Switzerland it pays very well and I really appreciate this privilege.
Were that not the case and I had to work this emotionally taxing job while worrying about making ends meet? Hell no. I‘d take a monotonous job with financial stability over it any time.
It's always hard with boundaries when you WFH to be honest.
FIVE MINUTES AGO! yesss!!!
one time i went to go see my mom and she was watching your videos!!! shes been in mlms in the past but i think that your channel will slowly open her to the truth about all of them. thank you for the hard work you do every day!!
Awww that’s so cute
Another phrase on these pitches that goes on my list of common ones they use that annoy me like nails on a chalkboard: "all the things*... I'll add it next to "this business" and "pouring into"
its quite possibly one of the worst filler phrases.... that and ..... "this, that and the third". IT MAKES ME WANT TO SCREAM.
Canadian here. No one complains about taxes more than an American. Our taxes aren't much more than in the US, but of course we get tons of services, refunds, HEALTH CARE, and other incentives. Basically we get back more than we pay in, which is how taxes are supposed to work.
When you said, "That's life!!" YES!!!!! Say it lounder!!!!!!! I can't tell you how much I felt that. I work from home now and have for the past 4 years. Everyone thinks it's easier!!! Yes it is nice to be at home and work in my pj's but I still work from 9-5 and still have to fit in all the time with kids and housework!
A Physical Therapist/Physiotherapist Assistant is a career path and works under the supervision of a Physical Therapist/Physiotherapist. If her clinic was small, then she may have been doing the front office work too. We have a dedicated secretary/front office person who does billing/scheduling, etc. Our main clinic has 5-6 secretaries, so it can be overwhelming plus if she was trying to see patients as well.
Most jobs in the medical field seem to be busy and stressful . I did nursing for 25 years and it seems every one’s job was stressful 😂
According to Dictionary.com , a job is a post of employment. The definition of a career is an occupation or profession, especially one requiring special training followed as one's lifework.
And she was presenting it, as if she left her career in the medical field, which is not true. That’s my point not trying to invalidate anyone who has that same job title as I said multiple times in this video I apologize that this is not coming off properly apparently.

1. I don't have a career, I have a job. I don't want a career, nor would I describe my HR desk-job as a career; 2. The job market and its structure is still based on times where one paycheck was enough to survive - and mostly also live comfortably. It's not 1950s USA suberbia anymore, why do we still act like it is.
The old guard where that was the reality is still alive, so it's still pushed as they are making the "rules" we have to engage in. Though for the last 20 years it's been pretty bleak. Trades and being licensed medical professionals (Respiratory therapists, Nurses, Doctors, Physician Assistants) generally arent true careers.
I'll say you're doing a job I could NEVER do. Being a nurse manager is hard enough.
Why isn't working in HR a career?
@@gingerlee726 I think what they mean is that they do a job. They don't want to make a career out of it and get promoted and so on. They are happy with the job they have and they're not trying to get a better one.
@gingerlee726 HR is a career for many but maybe for this person it's just a job and honestly probably would like to be doing something else if possible.
I've meant a more lower level HR position... Sorry I don't know how else to call it, English is not my first language... Of course you can have a career in HR! Sorry if I made anyone angry.
I find it interesting that the section with the most jump cuts in her video was when she was trying to prove the chats/zoom calls are actual helpful resources 🤣🤣
might be a Canadian field, but a physiotherapist assistant is a career. Requires a specific diploma and to pass clinical exams. It’s definitely the lower end of the health field payscale, but still decent wage and still actually in the health field. It’s not super normal to also be the secretary or front desk person at the practice from my knowledge but I can see it being expected/accepted at smaller practices where the office duties would be minimal. The health field has many smaller careers so I don’t blame you for not having heard of this.
Canadian here:
income taxes are super high here, way higher than the US. We do also pay into EI. I’m basically middle class and about 25-30% of my pay is deducted for taxes, EI and CPP (Canada pension plan).
Regarding shutdowns: We were originally told 2 weeks but most shut down much longer. However, anyone that was laid off, or even had their pay cut due to hours being cut, was eligible for “CERB” (Canada emergency response benefit) which was $2000/mth. The government immediately approved anyone that applied and it wasn’t taxed at the time (did have to pay on it when taxes were filed). This was to try to make sure everyone could stay on top of their bills as much as possible. The government eventually did an audit and asked for the money back from people that didn’t have their pay impacted by shutdowns.
My kids were home from school yesterday 30 minutes before I was done working from home and I wanted to lose my actual mind. I am 100 percent certain I would never want my kids to be there all day while I work my 9-5
I can imagine. I don't know how people juggled it during CoVid.

Sounds like she needed her husband to do shit around the house, not an MLM
When I went to college, there was an older (early 30's) lady in my class. The reason she went back to college, was because her former boss, while great, instead of giving her a living raise would just give her a different title LOL. She went from Receptionist, to Secretary, to Administrative Assistant, to Head of Human Resources, and even Vice President of Sales. There were only 2 of them in the office. He had a shipping business LOL. Edit: I was fresh out of high school, most of us were, which is why we thought she was "older" LOL
Just for reference, that $10k yearly income is in Canadian dollars. That's $7,405 USD
Ooooo yikes
I know this is not at all the point of this video, but thank you for talking about Better Help. My BH therapist changed my life. And it was my only option. I have great insurance but every provider in my area had a 6+ month waiting list for new clients. I couldn’t wait that long. I’m fully aware of why people don’t like BH, but everytime I see the tangents about it on social media my first thought is what if that’s someone’s only option? What if they were just deterred from life changing or life saving care?
I'm a physiotherapy assistant (PTA) in a clinic in Canada. PTA's assist the physio in completing the treatment they prescribe to people. We apply physical treatment like ultrasounds, muscle stimulation, physical traction, among other things. We also help teach people how to safely do their exercises at home. We are usually responsible for equipment up keep and cleaning, having laundry done, ordering treatment related product, etc. Most places have you run reception outside regular clinic hours or have you work part time reception. It can pan out into a well paying career IF you get into the hospitals or really nice, high end clinics. Otherwise, due to no regulation in our field, we don't get paid well often. Barely a livable wage if that in a lot of cases. I went to school for 2 years and it was still difficult to get a job with benefits. It's tough out here so I'm not surprised a fellow Canadian PTA was sucked in by Monat. I love my job but I know one day I will have to go back to school for a better career.
But wait. Didn't she say she was doing baking and crafts and gardening but everything was digging into her savings? Aren't those all hobbies?
She's not making much sense.
I feel like most, most people in mlms seriously just have a very expensive hobby st the end of the day. That's what scentsy was for me at the end of the day. I never had more money come in than what went out.
I’m glad that many commenters were nice to her. She’ll maybe block them but I hope she heeds their advice. She’s seems so sweet and deserves way better.
My fellow Canadians covered all the taxes, employment insurance and Covid checks appropriately.
That "vacation because of Covid lockdown because people were dying" comment she let slip makes me question the sweetness. She reminds me of the women I knew in the fundamentalist cult I was in. It's a front.
GIRL…Britney’s book was incredible!! I was shocked by a lot of her story, but I loved it all. And I love her even more now!
This Monat hun seems really sweet. I sincerely hope she gets out of it.
8:59 "I had no energy to be a wife, I didn't want to cook, I didn't want to clean..."
So for her being a wife means cooking and cleaning? It's not the situation when husbands earns money and wife stays home and does chores - she worked full time in this physiotherapy place. Patriarchy at finest.
When she was cheering about vid in 2020 I literally felt nauseous... ma'am people died. There were refrigerated trucks in front of hospitals because the morgue was full. Like truly truly gross that she was celebrating.
Exactly! It was serious!! And a lot of people lost their jobs and they didn’t want to lose their jobs… for most it wasn’t a good experience! Ugh!
I haven’t commented in a long time, so I thought I’d just remind you- YOU ARE AWESOME! Thank you for all that you do.
I’ve been wondering about these Monat girlies…I feel like Monat is tanking hard and they are desperate
Just as a Canadian who was unemployed through COVID. We pay into unemployment insurance, and during COVID we had several stimulus cheques to help with the unemployment also. I don’t obviously know if she qualified/how she did it/how long she was unemployed, but she wouldn’t have gone without government money during this time for sure.
Love the stats to show how terrible these mlms are. I feel like most who don't have a basic education or went to college don't get it and are easily fooled.
I joined Monat 6ish years ago but never really did it, but the girl who I was under was ballinggg - she had the Caddy and was always going on the trips and shopping and getting her hair done with extensions and these vibrant colors and keeping it up (yall know how expensive that is) and out of nowhere she just disappeared. She went from posting constantly to nothing at all for years.. her mom has tagged her in a photo here and there but no more than 2-3 pics in 3 years. It’s so wild how fast you can fall!!
Yes, unemployed insurance is a thing in Canada. Plus, during Covid shutdown the federal government provided a $2000 monthly payment to people who couldn't go to work.
She’s so adorable. It makes me sad that she is sucked into this garbage
27:35- When she talks about all of the trips… who paid? Who booked the hotel and flight? When my work sends me to travel, they book my flight and hotel. I don’t pay a dime. They send someone to pick me up from the airport and drop me back off. I get per diem for food… this is what a “paid-for, free trip” looks like.
Am I the only one who got chaos energy off Chelsea in this one? I am so totally here for it and loved every moment❤️❤️
Actually a physiotherapist assistant is a job in canada you have to go to school for. My cousin did it actually. I think it was 3 or 4 years. But they are like a secretary and they help do other things. So she is a secretary and does other things. She had a really good job and was probably making really decent money. I can't believe she quit it
Clearly she didn't need the money because to leave to make even less and have 0 savings is wild.
They are not like a secretary at all. Very rarely do they have to do secretarial duties like this woman had to do, she might’ve been at a smaller clinic where some people overlap responsibilities. They treat patients and can do everything physical therapist can do except evaluate, reassess, and perform discharges they have to have our order signed by a physical therapist. Just like a physician assistant has to have things approved by the MD/DO, same with the PTA. They are in the medical field, it can be a career I know many career physical therapist assistance instead of doing it, 40 years. You can be a clinical rehab Director, you can work in insurance, you can work clinically in all types of health facilities like hospitals, outpatient, pediatrics, home health, the list goes on and on and on. They are not like a secretary, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with being a secretary, but that’s just not what a PTA does they they are medical professionals
Girl sent me when you said Arsenic,cocaine and herion is naturally based 😂😂😂
Hey CC I’m also a former physiotherapy assistant(PTA) in Canada, just to answer your question about the career. It is very common in a clinic setting for assistants to be doing a lot of additional admin, laundry, cleaning, and other non-patient care duties. This is especially true for smaller, private practice clinics that may not have proper admin staff. Additionally, clinics typically don’t pay well either approx $17-20/hr (minimum wage in Ontario is $16.55) for a career that requires a 2 year diploma. I’d be willing to bet she was burnt out, underpaid and looking for a way out
I appreciate the volume of content you're putting out lately
thank you! im trying really hard!
Aww, one of those comments on there was mine! Ive learned all I know about these scams from you and the other amazing creators! Keep up the great work!❤
Happy u posted this I needed something to listen to at work ❤
I was sooo happy to see you revisiting Monat!! These are my favorites 😂❤
She ran out of savings in a month and a half? She didn't save much or spends a lot of money.
perfect timing for me to watch while I get ready for work!
It’s actually really common for people who only have certification (like physical therapy assistant, occupational therapy assistant, CNA) to be cross trained. I don’t think she is putting herself on a pedestal. It’s just the nature of healthcare to be cross trained.
God why are all these gorgeous women scammers in MLMs??!?!?! IT HURTS!!!!!
She’s so pretty and well-spoken. Ugh, imagine the amazing careers she could have. 😭
I'm SO happy I found you! I saw a reference to your channel come up from a subreddit (not sure how much I can say but it has the letters MS in it... 😁) and I'm so glad people pointed me your way!
I've had my fair share of run-ins with MLMs (especially over the past decade and a half) but this specific story is wild to me because I was friends with a woman who could seriously exchange this story for her own except she was a dental hygienist and she joined Younique, not Monat. I mean... SAME. EXACT. STORY.
It's absolutely a cult. It is aaaabsolutely a cult. Also, most of my in-laws are in Utah where a bunch of MLM headquarters are and several of my in-laws joined different MLMs in order to "change their lives" and "take charge of their finances" only to go deeply into debt and face financial ruin all because they trusted their upline's lies.
ANYWAY. I'm thrilled I found you! Came for the MLM exposure and I'm staying for the snark! 💜
"we were gardening and crafting" "my husband said 'I know you don't have and hobbies or things you enjoy'" 😮
PT student here! PTAs are in the medical field and are trained specify for INTERVENTION of musculoskeletal conditions :) So they cannot evaluate and diagnose like PTs can, but are still an important team member in the clinic. Aka medical field.
And that’s not what she was. She was a secretary in a medical office with no training or education or qualifications.
@@IAMCCSuarez From her quote at around 7:03, she says she was a physiotherapy assistant and a secretary. While she may be lying about that, it is very common for small clinics to skip hiring a front desk worker altogether and requires a physiotherapy assistant to schedule patients on top of treating patients. In Canada, a degree in physiotherapy assistance is needed for this. But again, she could be lying about being a PTA.
Omg CC so much content this week! I'm loving it ❤ but don't get burned out!
NO ONE who owns an actual business says, “it’s truly a business!” This is because everyone can see it’s a real business.
a physical therapy assistant would be like the excersise coach for the patient. The therapist makes up their routine and the assistant helps them
She said she was a secretary, though she wasn’t a physical therapy assistant. There’s a clear difference between being a secretary for a medical office and being a physicians assistant which she was not .
@@IAMCCSuarez sorry you asked to leave in comments if we knew what that was .
Canadian Here:
1) yes we are taxed more.
2) during COVID we had a program called CERB which provided anyone laid off with 2000 dollars a month. (I’m really digging back in my memory, but I think that’s what it was). We do also have programs like Employment Insurance that are available to anyone who is laid off outside of COVID.
The consistent content is amazing!!! Thank you!
We have unemployment, disability, welfare and other government funded social insiders programs in Canada. Some employers also offer disability though the benefits insurance companies as well
This made me realize that, besides people who are vulnerable or in a bad spot, this is especially dangerous for people who simply aren't... I dunno, fleshed out?? Like they have no hobbies or passions or "their thing", no INTERESTS. There is this empty space in their life and this MLM stuff fits right into, it becomes their hobby. When someone already has a hobby that is enjoyable, they will be less likely to have no issues with what a huge time sink this is. They want to be able to do Their Thing, and not having the time is a big minus. But for a person like this, who doesn't seem to have anything she wants to do in her free time just for herself? It's a plus!
Hihi! My mum was a physio for 20+ years. Very rewarding but challenging job and no shade to anyone who has to step back. A lot of healthcare workers have a love/hate relationship with their jobs cos it's very intense, and (at least in the UK) it's well known that NHS staff have to deal with a lot of nonsense.
And this girl wasn’t even a healthcare worker. She was a secretary in a medical office.
Yes, we have disability and unemployment insurance in Canada!
For reference, physiotherapy assistants are common in Canada. Physician’s assistants are very, very rare. Most Canadians have no idea what physician’s assistants are, and I hadn’t heard of them whatsoever until I moved to the US.
Correct here in Canada we are taxed very high.
Yay, it's me with the nice comment on this video, recommending Hannah Alonzo! Just found your channel today!
I went to college when i needed something for myself. I mean she might already have a degree and stuff but you can always further your education or take courses for hobbies or something.
Im so early today! I love listening to your videos while Im at work. Thanks for uploading content ♡
31:46 I’ve thought the same thing! It’s a hook to keep them in because if they earn all the smart start bonuses it’s decent but once you’re no longer in that period, it drops off right off
As a personal assistant there are career advancement in advamced levels of being a personal assistant. You can move up in certain industries and also in the level of personal assistant you are. Just want to say that for anyone feeling stuck,most likely like the monat hun felt, there are ways to advance that career path! Personal assistants make the world go round!
Idk about Canada, but the US has multiple levels for Physical Therapists. The ones I've worked around are DPT (doctor), PT, PT Assistant. There are others but idk if theyre common (i.e. Certified Exercise Specialist, PT Aide, Athletic Trainer). It's my understanding that PTAs are kind of halfway between an MA and a PA in terms what they can do. But regardless of licensing, if she was working the front desk I don't see how she would have time to treat patients. ofc she's the only one who knows for certain 🤷🏻
It's similar in Canada. The only way I can think she'd be doing front desk stuff is if it was just her and the PT. She should've just looked to work at a different clinic.
She is gorgeous! Totally giving “Nina Dobrev” I think (Vampire Diaries).
Black Lamp. 💀
Yes in Canada we have employment insurance and there was a special program during covid called CERB.
Side note- I do think being a receptionist in the medical field is a career. Usually there is training that goes with it
Also, when the first quarantine period was in effect really by most in Canada it was seen as a two week holiday.
Not Chelsea saying “Maybe I should use MONAT” 🤣😂
