I had a friend of mine last week about to join Primerica, and we were able to talk her out of it thanks to info from your channel. Thank you so much for these videos and others like them. You are helping people avoid financial ruin!
I wish I'd had a friend like you when I was bamboozled into joining Primerica! Sure, I quit within a week, but that $99 starter fee was non-refundable.
Lol my RVP isn't even with the company anymore. She sells 'how to be successful on Instagram' courses 😂🤣😂. Idk about you, but I ended up using my only "big commission" check to try and pay my family members back for their policies 😂 ... sorry mom. Thanks for your support!
I was almost recruited to primemerica but thank goodness he gave me a business card and wanted to do an interview at McDonalds on the Fourth of July. I googled the company name, saw “scam” and never even bothered to go
I love that last video's little asterix where she says "*if you're coachable" so when all her recruits lose a ton of money, she can say they just weren't coachable enough
What a way to gaslight the 99% of Monat reps who will actively lose money by joining. Also, being "coachable" is FAR easier at a salaried "boring" corporate job where you are guaranteed a paycheck for listening to and implementing this coaching.
I hate that it is also giving bad rep for actual life coaches and coaching, like boo you are not a coach, you are a salesperson who needs actual coaching. Also framing her monthly recruitment goal as "exclusive" by saying "only 7 spots left" like please
How wonderful is it that you have Influencer Insanity now so that when all the MLMs are dead, you still have content topics. Influencers will forever do insane things!
It was MLMs that got her into my UA-cam feed, but I love listening to her speak so much she could pivot her content in basically any direction and I’d still listen ❤

Fun fact: when you sign onboarding forms at your bOrInG cOrPoRatE job you usually sign some form that says throughout your employment you won’t reveal the company’s proprietary info or secrets. The Monat huns get thrown some google search NDA each event because they’re not actual employees they’re glorified customers who love cosplaying corporate while dunking on that very same culture. 🙄 Also do they not get that specifically having to sign NDAs for something means there’s A LOT of stuff behind the scenes they’re not being told about? 🤔😆
“They're not actual employees they're glorified customers who love cosplaying corporate while dunking on that very same culture” Hit the nail on the head 🔨
For people who shit on corporate jobs, they sure love cosplaying as corporate employees. It's especially fun when they go to their annual meetings when you know they paid for the whole trip themselves, whereas real corporate employees get everything paid for by their employer. And when they gush about the speeches held by the CEO about how amazing the company is doing. Most corporate employees dread such year-end meetings because no one other than executives care about that.
That's what companies do and I work with personal data so me too I am not allowed to talk about it or even leave a customer's name written on a piece of paper on my desk. All of that was part of the contract I signed when I started working.
Glorified Customer is such a good name for it. They've already purchased the product, the company has already made the money off them. They are trying to earn their money back by reselling the items they bought to others down the ladder. Theyre just Resellers lol they're not employees.
Right?! NDAs are normal for most corporate folks. You don't see software developers and game designers posting that they are signing NDAs all over social media. I'm actually embarrassed for these Monat ladies.
Minimum order of $84 + $5 shipping = if I just spend another $16 I don’t have to pay shipping.. its only $11 more than I was gonna spend anyway… It’s a money grab to get people to spend more. 🙄
Of course. I've certainly spent more to get free shipping as I rather get something for my money. But that's only if I am close to the dollar limit and I can get something to just put me over.
@@aprilswan909 I have a rule to not spend more than $5 on an extra item to qualify for free shipping than it would be to buy shipping. Keeps me from falling down that 'girl math' sinkhole
The gross thing is the shipping cost is figured into the first $84. That’s how come they could offer free shipping to begin with, because it’s already priced into the package. So the $5 flat rate, no that $5 in tip to MONAT.
I think the employees are deliberately misled by Monat, I think Monat likes their employees to put out confusing rhetoric to keep predatory recruitment behaviour in effect
I'm Kenyan and UA-cam suggested your videos In August.. shock I know and I have practically binged so many of your videos from MLM to influencer insanity . Clicked so fast I've been so invested in Monat's stories 🤣🤣
It always makes me laugh when they say "we" when referring to Monet. "WE are changing the comp plan" "WE are bringing you changes" etc. They genuinely believe they run the company and it's so funny
My manager’s got a 1.5 year old and she’s been sick like 3x since my first day in October! I’m sure y’all parents have the most ROBUST immune system after your kiddos are done building theirs 😂❤
A few years ago I lost my mind and signed on for Monat’s monthly delivery plan (I really didn’t want the stuff but did it for a friend), and after a couple months I didn’t want the product anymore. I had THE MOST OUTRAGEOUS problems speaking with customer service to try and opt out of everything. I had to insist on speaking to their supervisor and was on the phone for over an hour. To cancel my monthly delivery plan. I’d rather use cat litter and soap than deal with that ever again EYE ROLL.
You could make $2,100 in a month at minimum wage. As a server or bartender which I know well, you could make that money in 1.5-2wks full time. You’ll next to never make that in an MLM.
Psychologically, ranking up quicker at the beginning makes you feel like you are achieving things in the business right off the bat and would encourage people to stay. I can see the upline saying "look how quickly you ranked up! That's amazing! You're so good at this, you're going to be making six figures a month in no time, I told you this was easy!".
Always excited to see you do a Monat story, but I'm going to be a little entitled... I'm a bit disappointed not to see Grim Reaper Hannah in the thumbnail of this latest update 😅
How are these ladies not ashamed about crying/wailing on social media about corporate changes in their MLM? True corporate employees - or anyone earning a SALARY at their job - do NOT act like their CEO's announcement is God's greatest gift on earth! I've admired the leaders of the companies I've worked for, but I would NEVER cry on social media about them or their policies!
I hope so, but I don't think that's going to happen for a while yet. Will we see more go affiliate next year? yes, but it won't be all of them. I think Monat will be on that list.
Unfortunately, in the US at least, we're probably going to see big price spikes in a lot of areas because of Trump's dumbass policies and tariffs, which will create a breeding ground of huns to prey on financially vulnerable people
Because of my husband‘s job, he has known for sometimes months or even years before the public of new snack foods (I’m being vague of what kinds because of professionalism) he’s not being asked to sign NDA all the time. I think he may have signed one general one when he started with the company 20 years ago and that’s it.
That's what companies do and I work with personal data so me too I am not allowed to talk about it or even leave a customer's name written on a piece of paper on my desk. All of that was part of the contract I signed when I started working.
That's what proper professional adults do! I work in an area of public policy that means I know things way before the general public does, and it could create a (very localised!) political storm in a teacup if we tell the wrong people 😂😂, but we are always trusted to keep that to ourselves. It's sort of funny that these influencers see the fact they had to sign an NDA as not a sign the company doesn't trust them but as a badge of honour!
26:49 "I'm going to need some time to process..." Really? I worked retail for four years. When we had all-staff meetings outside of normal operating hours and watched videos from corporate about upcoming promotions or changes, do you know how much time I needed to "process" it? About as long as it took management to end the video and ask if anyone had any questions. Any longer than that, I was looking around to see if there were any doughnuts left.
They are brainwashed, love-bombed and hyped up, so they can do it to other people. I guess they teach them how to do it. My former boss was in MLM, she quit and went corporate and she had the same technique. Some of the people ate it up and she showed just enough praise for them to be even more invested. She knew what everyone’s weaknesses were and used them against them without them even realising. They would look down on everyone else because they knew she approved of them. It was horrible to work for her but also interesting to see all the psychological games and watching it unfold every day.
For that last one, if I read the income disclosure properly, it takes an average of 8 months to achieve that MP rank that would get you the highest bonus, and only 1% of the reps ever get there. That bonus is tied to your first 6 months, so it's highly unlikely that anyone will actually earn that bonus. I can only imagine that reps coming from high up in another MLM and bringing their downlines with them have a shot at it, which is probably what the company wants.
OMG, that's a really great point. I was wondering how other MLMs are cutting the recruitment side, yet here's monat doing the opposite. I didn't even think.. All those other MLMs dumping the compensation programs, and it's monat definitely trying to poach some big teams.
The way i cackled when that Hun said "LETS TALK ABOUT IT OMG I CANT BREATHE" 😂 girl you have nothing going on in your life that actually means something do you?
Mr. Monat sounds like the same guy that calls you from India telling you the IRS is after you and if you don't pay up, they'll have you arrested.....Pretty sure that's the same guy...🤣😂
Those scammers are from other neighbouring nations as well! Though you only mentioned India, as a fellow Indian, I apologize on behalf of the scammers! 😂
I literally come onto UA-cam everyday PRAYING for a new Hannah video. You are my comfort creator on here and I am so thankful for your content 🙏🥰 I am so sorry to hear about your sickness and I am glad you are getting better ❤️🩹
This is what true enigma of the “mean girl” is exactly! It lies in her aura of mysterious secrecy-until that veil is lifted, revealing a whole lot of nothing underneath. Monat marketing strategy in a nutshell.
If that enrollment 20$ fee is a one-time thing, then the change will cause VIP customers to lose even MORE money in the long run. Monat will make that 20$ back with 4 order shipments if customers make the minimum 80$ purchase, yet VIPs will have to spend that extra 5$ for every future purchase. Alternatively VIPs will have to order about 20$ more each damn purchase to not pay the delivery fee. No matter how you look at it, they changed that payment plan for the worse
I am soooo glad you posted about this! I know a fairly high-ish up Monat girl, to the point I’m just waiting for her to show up in one of these videos. I’ve been watching this all unfold from her perspective and have been dying for your take/the actual truth about what it means. Please never stop doing your amazing work.
the CEO doesnt even care enough to memorize his own changes to the company. hes clearly reading off teleprompter or something smh. its sad to see people part of this company willing to LITERALLY give an arm and a leg for a company (and CEO) that doesnt give two flips about them
Oh my gosh I wanted to say that this past week a Kirby rep came to my door, I live in Utah and is cold AF. Anyway, image introduced herself as a maid to offer free services if you let her use the vacuum. I’ve never said no thanks and shut my door so quickly. Later that day, in my neighborhood’s Facebook page someone said the Kirby person destroyed their couch.
I live in Utah too but haven't had any Kirby salespeople show up in our neighborhood. However a woman who sells tomales door to door just stopped by and I happily supported her business!!
Any of these MLM girlies can be fired. If you're a TRUE business owner, you CANNOT be fired! It's a very simple test. How are people still falling for this exploitative #GirlBoss crap?
After the 2020/2021 super earnings, MLM heads must be going crazy from the lows they are facing currently. The fake enthusiasm they are trying to exude is actually so embarrassing.
I can finally say I binged through your entire MLM content. I appreciate all of the information and honestly it helps to debunk why they made me feel some type of way all of these years.
Ugh... as a Christian I really hate it when they try and "Christianise" all of the MLM garbage. Makes me absolutely cringe every single time. There's nothing Christian about scamming and taking advantage of other people.
Absolutely. "My prayers have been answered! I get more of your money!" That's predatory, wicked, and disgusting. We need more Christians calling it out, especially since Christian SAHMs are big-time victims here.
Lmao I just CANT with these mlm huns. The dramatics! The theatrics! The crying. Lmfao. You know what I love about my job? No matter how many clients my employer signs, I get paid the same salary no matter what! And pto. And a bonus every Christmas just for being an employee. And health insurance. And work from home. But oh the HoRrOr of a 9-5! I’m sOoO jEaLoUs of these huns who are their own ceo!
😢 aww I'm sorry. I don't have anyone sick (hopefully I haven't jinxed us) but I do have a 2 month old, sooo I am loopy and tired everyday... I too need Hannah's clean snark vids 😂. I NEED ANOTHER ADULT WITH ME DAILY
I used to do monat a few years ago, only lasted a month because I quickly realized it was very sketchy and not for me! Plus my hair started falling out, so that was fun 🙃 But I have this friend I was talking to last year telling her that the company is a scam and I'm glad I got out, only to find out a few days ago she's now a market partner with them! 😭
Dang girl I’ve been there! 0:19 I had three children three and under and when viral eye infection it took a month to get rid of it, we all keep passing it back and forth 🤦🏽♀️
Hannah, you are the GOAT of anti-MLM content! You present everything with facts and without bias. This is the third or fourth video I've seen about the Monat changes but this video is by far the most clear and concise. I hope you and the baby continue to get well, send love to the cats for me and please enjoy your holidays. I cannot wait to watch your first 2025 video!
Most large MLM’s: “Yeah, we’re scraping the stigmatized, predatory network marketing model to save our company.” Monat: “SCREW THAT, LET’S DOUBLE DOWN ON NETWORK MARKETING, IT’LL BE FIIIIIINE.” 😂😂😂
The new rank is 1 a pity rank 2 there so they can go on social & say people are ranking up so quickly & 3 to give the illusion if you’re in that you’re going somewhere. I can’t believe the girl lied about EVERY part of the VIP. It’s the worst VIP program I’ve ever heard of. I bought a redken gift set last Dec & ran out of it a few wks ago. Shampoo, conditioner & leave in. Didn’t need for a year. Other than hairspray & dry shampoo which I wouldn’t pay monat prices for- I don’t repurchase hair products every MONTH, much less $85 worth!!!
Free mobile games have the same system and people fall for it as well. I really hope that, someday, people will wake up to these mechanics rather than falling for them yet again
Idk how it works in other states or what contract MLM girlies have, but in California our employee bonuses are HEAVILY taxed. I got a $500 bonus and received like $280 after taxes. I’ve grown to strongly dislike bonus incentives
I don't know if Monat actually withholds taxes from them though? They're not employees, so they are taxed differently. Edit - I googled it and no, Monat does not withhold taxes.
Since they’re not emoloyees, the company doesn’t withhold taxes! So that’s a nice little surprise for most boss babes come tax time when they owe more than they’re typically expecting
This week an Avon factory closed down and left 200 employees without a job. I get that the products suck and the business model is bad, but I can't stop thinking about those 200 families that just lost their income. For context, I'm from Argentina and our economy is not the best so this is terrible. Also, the way that they have been laid down was so shitty. Just a phone call saying don't come to work on Monday, goodbye. So, yeah, it is good that these companies close but at the same time it kinda sucks :/
thats definitely the worst part. its good in the long run knowing this company wont be scamming more people after it shuts down but it sucks how many people will lose their job so abruptly. thats why these companies suck so much 😢 i hope all those families find better jobs asap and the support they need in the meantime
Wishing you a speedy full recovery. I had a laryngitis, sinusitis, ear infection combo I caught from a younger cousin the week before Thanksgiving that had me coughing so violently I strained a muscle in my chest. I'm finally over the nastiness but the muscle strain could take up to two months to fully heal.
As a 40 hours a week regular paycheck with bonuses and benefits worker, I just can’t imagine sharing a top of my NDAs on social media. It screams “i am a fifth grader playing a corporate employee “
"can't keep their yappers shut" is probably going to be my new favorite line this month. I can't wait to use it, because...I can't keep my yapper shut. 😃
Oh lovely gifts our children give us! I just got over this horrible stomach bug with the flu as an appetizer. I have been caring for my father who is getting over sepsis and double pneumonia. It is going around! It sucks that moms don’t get to rest until we drop. If I hear one more time you need to take care of yourself while the person is walking away instead of helping I will scream! How about a nap?! But alas it is 130 and an hour and half into my shift and Hannah dropped me a present ❤ thank you!!! I hope you and your family are feeling better and have an awesome holiday ❤❤❤ Edit: I had to take a few breaks to work and every time I come back I have to relike the video. This is frustrating! But know that I did like it. I don’t know why it keeps getting unliked!!
Ahhh I hate MLMs they always get people excited about the POSSIBILITY of making a lot of money, when the vast majority will never see it. They’re acting like Monet said they’re sending them all $3000 checks in the mail yesterday.
The extra level added just makes people feel like they are moving up faster than they are and increases the motivation to recruit. If you have to wait until 2 or 3 people are under you to see any benefit from recruiting you are less likely to try at all.
You know the shipping cost thing is even more sinister when you really think about it: you have to place a minimum $84 order with them but free shipping is only for a $100 order. All you have to do is spend the extra $15 and you'll save that $5 on shipping! Guaranteed it was priced and planned to be that way to encourage people to buy more product (aka spend more money). It's a scummy move.
I fully understand you being ill thanks to your little one. Mine picked up covid from nursery and later sneezed in my mouth! That was a fun few weeks...
I'm a voice actor, so my jobs can be under NDA for upwards of two years. And these women can't keep this to themselves for eleven days?! Really?! Thank you, Hannah, for all that you do- Monat doesn't exist where I am, but I have friends in the USA who got sucked into it, and it's nothing short of predatory. Monat should be shut down.
First of all: I'm so glad that you and your little girl feel better finally. 🥰 Second of all: Monat is like a stubborn little child. They just don't want to admit that it is over. That NOBODY wants to get into an MLM anymore. The era of MLM's is over. They want to hold onto that delusion like no other. It's so sad to see.
Working in engineering as a CAD drafter, I sign NDA’s once on hiring. Then, it’s understood that my job is dealing with confidential information and that I zip it unless I know for sure it’s published.
Did I come here from rewatching The Death of Monat (part 1)? Sure did!! 😂 I’ve had COVID for the first time and I’m with you Hannah in that lingering recovery. Hope you’re all healthy again ASAP! ❤

You could make $2,100 in a month at minimum wage. As a server or bartender which I know well, you could make that money in 1.5-2wks full time. You’ll next to never make that in an MLM.
If i were a MP in Monat, I'd be PISSED. This is like when companies pay new hires more than employees who have been working at the company for years.
Huh, JUST like in the vilified corporate world…😅
I can see how it would be okay. You get a 50% matching bonus for everyone you recruit.
Psychologically, ranking up quicker at the beginning makes you feel like you are achieving things in the business right off the bat and would encourage people to stay. I can see the upline saying "look how quickly you ranked up! That's amazing! You're so good at this, you're going to be making six figures a month in no time, I told you this was easy!".
yep, that’s the way gamblers get hooked too. the worst thing that can happen when you’re gambling, is winning
And you'll tell your friends 'I ranked up right away, it was so easy!' And they'll think they can do it too...😢
Exactly.
Not the CEO reading from a teleprompter 😂😂😂😂
I love how his body language doesn't match his voice whatsoever 😂
He's got the charisma of a spoon, too. What a snooze.
I thought he was just cockeyed lol
That was bugging me because he never looked at the camera. Like, dude we’re over here 🙋♀️ lmao
Always excited to see you do a Monat story, but I'm going to be a little entitled...
I'm a bit disappointed not to see Grim Reaper Hannah in the thumbnail of this latest update 😅
😂💀💀💀
yes! bring back grim reaper hannah!
Was so funny!
Agreed 😂
😂😂😂
I live in Qatar where we don’t even have MLMs, yet still I cannot stop watching your videos about all the stories and the fails. Keep the good work.
How are these ladies not ashamed about crying/wailing on social media about corporate changes in their MLM? True corporate employees - or anyone earning a SALARY at their job - do NOT act like their CEO's announcement is God's greatest gift on earth! I've admired the leaders of the companies I've worked for, but I would NEVER cry on social media about them or their policies!
Its straight up cult-like behaviour.
Brainwashed
Maybe 2025 will be the year MLMs cease to exist. We can only hope.
I hope so, but I don't think that's going to happen for a while yet. Will we see more go affiliate next year? yes, but it won't be all of them. I think Monat will be on that list.
That and daylight savings. I will believe it when I see it
if only we could get rid of the MLM final boss: capitalism
Unfortunately, in the US at least, we're probably going to see big price spikes in a lot of areas because of Trump's dumbass policies and tariffs, which will create a breeding ground of huns to prey on financially vulnerable people
Fingers crossed 🤞🏽
Because of my husband‘s job, he has known for sometimes months or even years before the public of new snack foods (I’m being vague of what kinds because of professionalism) he’s not being asked to sign NDA all the time. I think he may have signed one general one when he started with the company 20 years ago and that’s it.
That's what companies do and I work with personal data so me too I am not allowed to talk about it or even leave a customer's name written on a piece of paper on my desk. All of that was part of the contract I signed when I started working.
That's what proper professional adults do! I work in an area of public policy that means I know things way before the general public does, and it could create a (very localised!) political storm in a teacup if we tell the wrong people 😂😂, but we are always trusted to keep that to ourselves.
It's sort of funny that these influencers see the fact they had to sign an NDA as not a sign the company doesn't trust them but as a badge of honour!
I worked for a company manufacturing and designing medical supplies and didn't have to sign an NDA. Only management people had to sign one.
26:49 "I'm going to need some time to process..." Really?
I worked retail for four years. When we had all-staff meetings outside of normal operating hours and watched videos from corporate about upcoming promotions or changes, do you know how much time I needed to "process" it? About as long as it took management to end the video and ask if anyone had any questions. Any longer than that, I was looking around to see if there were any doughnuts left.
MLM Reps are always so performative
Well nobody said the mlm huns were even average intelligence
I bet she’s still processing.
They are brainwashed, love-bombed and hyped up, so they can do it to other people. I guess they teach them how to do it. My former boss was in MLM, she quit and went corporate and she had the same technique.
Some of the people ate it up and she showed just enough praise for them to be even more invested. She knew what everyone’s weaknesses were and used them against them without them even realising. They would look down on everyone else because they knew she approved of them. It was horrible to work for her but also interesting to see all the psychological games and watching it unfold every day.
@@notjustanotherbrickinthewall jeez, hope you have a better boss now! It does sound fascinating, in a horrifying kind of way
Hannah is leading us on dancing on Monat’s grave and it is FANTASTIC🤭🤩
For that last one, if I read the income disclosure properly, it takes an average of 8 months to achieve that MP rank that would get you the highest bonus, and only 1% of the reps ever get there. That bonus is tied to your first 6 months, so it's highly unlikely that anyone will actually earn that bonus. I can only imagine that reps coming from high up in another MLM and bringing their downlines with them have a shot at it, which is probably what the company wants.
Just a new, unattainable carrot on the old stick
OMG, that's a really great point. I was wondering how other MLMs are cutting the recruitment side, yet here's monat doing the opposite. I didn't even think.. All those other MLMs dumping the compensation programs, and it's monat definitely trying to poach some big teams.
The way i cackled when that Hun said "LETS TALK ABOUT IT OMG I CANT BREATHE" 😂 girl you have nothing going on in your life that actually means something do you?
Mr. Monat sounds like the same guy that calls you from India telling you the IRS is after you and if you don't pay up, they'll have you arrested.....Pretty sure that's the same guy...🤣😂
This needs 1000 likes!
😂😅😂 You nailed it!
You are under the rest!
Those scammers are from other neighbouring nations as well! Though you only mentioned India, as a fellow Indian, I apologize on behalf of the scammers! 😂
Girl! There's a warrant for your arrest and the cops are coming!! lmfao
I literally come onto UA-cam everyday PRAYING for a new Hannah video. You are my comfort creator on here and I am so thankful for your content 🙏🥰 I am so sorry to hear about your sickness and I am glad you are getting better ❤️🩹
They have the "best compensation plan"...... because the other MLMs are moving away from that model.
The bar is actually in hell 💀💀💀
This is what true enigma of the “mean girl” is exactly! It lies in her aura of mysterious secrecy-until that veil is lifted, revealing a whole lot of nothing underneath. Monat marketing strategy in a nutshell.
Never clicked so fast
It's 2am and nearly dropped my phone
Me too!!! 😂
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅 me too
Frrrr
Same!
If that enrollment 20$ fee is a one-time thing, then the change will cause VIP customers to lose even MORE money in the long run. Monat will make that 20$ back with 4 order shipments if customers make the minimum 80$ purchase, yet VIPs will have to spend that extra 5$ for every future purchase. Alternatively VIPs will have to order about 20$ more each damn purchase to not pay the delivery fee. No matter how you look at it, they changed that payment plan for the worse
Thank you for getting the predatory nature of MLMs out to everyone!! Lets celebrate less people being trapped in their schemes!!! ❤🎉
"sometimes your toddler sneezes in your eyeballs... " no truer words have ever been spoken 😅😅😅
I am soooo glad you posted about this! I know a fairly high-ish up Monat girl, to the point I’m just waiting for her to show up in one of these videos. I’ve been watching this all unfold from her perspective and have been dying for your take/the actual truth about what it means. Please never stop doing your amazing work.
the CEO doesnt even care enough to memorize his own changes to the company. hes clearly reading off teleprompter or something smh. its sad to see people part of this company willing to LITERALLY give an arm and a leg for a company (and CEO) that doesnt give two flips about them
I noticed that too. He is clearly reading from some sort of a script. He never seems to look at the camera. Not surprising though.
That's how you know the business is run like a cult
English isn’t his first language, which is part of it. But he also is just phoning it in these days.
Oh my gosh
I wanted to say that this past week a Kirby rep came to my door, I live in Utah and is cold AF. Anyway, image introduced herself as a maid to offer free services if you let her use the vacuum. I’ve never said no thanks and shut my door so quickly. Later that day, in my neighborhood’s Facebook page someone said the Kirby person destroyed their couch.
Omg! I wouldn't let them leave until they pay for the damages lol
Note to self: If a Kirby rep comes by my house, immediately post to Next Door for the first time ever.
Also, what did they do to the couch?
I live in Utah too but haven't had any Kirby salespeople show up in our neighborhood. However a woman who sells tomales door to door just stopped by and I happily supported her business!!
My mom got RSV from my 11 month old nephew, she's had it for a week already and it has been ROUGH. I'm so glad you're all starting to feel better!! 💜
It's ALL psychological tricks using word salad.
Thank you Hannah for breaking it down with these videos.
MLM girlies: corporations are not your friends. The company that "answered your prayers" can and will screw you over at ANY given notice.
Any of these MLM girlies can be fired. If you're a TRUE business owner, you CANNOT be fired! It's a very simple test. How are people still falling for this exploitative #GirlBoss crap?
The mental gymnastics of calling the new extended smart start a "500% raise" is killing me.
500% of zero is still zero, lol!
I love the fact that you, not a member of an MLM, can take the time off you need to care for yourself and your family without guilt!
"posted 2 mins ago" 😁👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼What a coincidence bc I just rewatched demise of monat part 1 and part 2 last night!! Love your videos 💞
I was re watching influencer insanity since she didn't upload last week!!
I literally rewatched those two videos last night LOL
After the 2020/2021 super earnings, MLM heads must be going crazy from the lows they are facing currently. The fake enthusiasm they are trying to exude is actually so embarrassing.
9/11, the Berlin Wall, and Monat's new comp plan. Moments in history
Exactly. We will all remember where we were when we heard the news.
Add bowel to this list of movements.
@@alycegallant5406 I'm stealing this it's too good
😂😂😂
I can finally say I binged through your entire MLM content. I appreciate all of the information and honestly it helps to debunk why they made me feel some type of way all of these years.
that little "if you're coachable" at 35:28 just triggered my fight or flight response👹
4:08 not the mamacitas
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
She’s clickety clackin!
😂 I said "nooooooooooo"
The way I commented on another creator’s video that Monat probably has 2 years max left… ooooooo SO EXCITED!
Ugh... as a Christian I really hate it when they try and "Christianise" all of the MLM garbage. Makes me absolutely cringe every single time. There's nothing Christian about scamming and taking advantage of other people.
AMEN!!! 🙏
Absolutely. "My prayers have been answered! I get more of your money!" That's predatory, wicked, and disgusting. We need more Christians calling it out, especially since Christian SAHMs are big-time victims here.
Lmao I just CANT with these mlm huns. The dramatics! The theatrics! The crying. Lmfao. You know what I love about my job? No matter how many clients my employer signs, I get paid the same salary no matter what! And pto. And a bonus every Christmas just for being an employee. And health insurance. And work from home. But oh the HoRrOr of a 9-5! I’m sOoO jEaLoUs of these huns who are their own ceo!
"Monat's just throwing money at us!"
"But y tho?"
"...you need to stop being a hater and put yourself in an abundance mindset."
I've been up at night all week because of sick kids. I feel miserable this morning and your video is just what I need!
😢 aww I'm sorry. I don't have anyone sick (hopefully I haven't jinxed us) but I do have a 2 month old, sooo I am loopy and tired everyday... I too need Hannah's clean snark vids 😂. I NEED ANOTHER ADULT WITH ME DAILY
OMG. Another one??? They’re dropping like flies!
I’ve been checking Hannah’s page constantly. So excited 🎉
Everybody has been sick! Im glad youre better and so is the little one.
I used to do monat a few years ago, only lasted a month because I quickly realized it was very sketchy and not for me! Plus my hair started falling out, so that was fun 🙃 But I have this friend I was talking to last year telling her that the company is a scam and I'm glad I got out, only to find out a few days ago she's now a market partner with them! 😭
Noooo I’m so happy for your hair but so sad for your friend! Maybe Hannah’s videos will get through to her?? 😢
Some people have to learnt he hard way, unfortunately. Hopefully she comes around before the financial ruin begin to set in
Dang girl I’ve been there! 0:19 I had three children three and under and when viral eye infection it took a month to get rid of it, we all keep passing it back and forth 🤦🏽♀️
Not the acting like an NDA is something special. I signed one for a truly crappy *petstore* job, which was a major red flag.
Hannah, you are the GOAT of anti-MLM content! You present everything with facts and without bias. This is the third or fourth video I've seen about the Monat changes but this video is by far the most clear and concise.
I hope you and the baby continue to get well, send love to the cats for me and please enjoy your holidays. I cannot wait to watch your first 2025 video!
Most large MLM’s: “Yeah, we’re scraping the stigmatized, predatory network marketing model to save our company.”
Monat: “SCREW THAT, LET’S DOUBLE DOWN ON NETWORK MARKETING, IT’LL BE FIIIIIINE.” 😂😂😂
Thank you for this video! It’s the last Monday of the school semester before our winter break and I love watching your videos on my prep period.
The new rank is 1 a pity rank 2 there so they can go on social & say people are ranking up so quickly & 3 to give the illusion if you’re in that you’re going somewhere. I can’t believe the girl lied about EVERY part of the VIP. It’s the worst VIP program I’ve ever heard of. I bought a redken gift set last Dec & ran out of it a few wks ago. Shampoo, conditioner & leave in. Didn’t need for a year. Other than hairspray & dry shampoo which I wouldn’t pay monat prices for- I don’t repurchase hair products every MONTH, much less $85 worth!!!
Free mobile games have the same system and people fall for it as well. I really hope that, someday, people will wake up to these mechanics rather than falling for them yet again
I didn't even know what an MLM was until I watched Hanna, now I'm still hooked.
I had heard of MLMs but not in as much detail and hadn’t heard of monat. Love all these kinds of videos though
Idk how it works in other states or what contract MLM girlies have, but in California our employee bonuses are HEAVILY taxed. I got a $500 bonus and received like $280 after taxes. I’ve grown to strongly dislike bonus incentives
I don't know if Monat actually withholds taxes from them though? They're not employees, so they are taxed differently.
Edit - I googled it and no, Monat does not withhold taxes.
Since they’re not emoloyees, the company doesn’t withhold taxes! So that’s a nice little surprise for most boss babes come tax time when they owe more than they’re typically expecting
This week an Avon factory closed down and left 200 employees without a job. I get that the products suck and the business model is bad, but I can't stop thinking about those 200 families that just lost their income. For context, I'm from Argentina and our economy is not the best so this is terrible. Also, the way that they have been laid down was so shitty. Just a phone call saying don't come to work on Monday, goodbye. So, yeah, it is good that these companies close but at the same time it kinda sucks :/
I am so sorry for their families! I wish there was an easy answer!
thats definitely the worst part. its good in the long run knowing this company wont be scamming more people after it shuts down but it sucks how many people will lose their job so abruptly. thats why these companies suck so much 😢 i hope all those families find better jobs asap and the support they need in the meantime
Man I feel awful for them.
My own mother just tried to recruit me to an mlm yesterday… I don’t know how to subtly let her know that it’s NOT ✨cutesy✨💅🏻💃
Not very mindful, not very demure 💫💀💅
Can’t wait for sane and rational to trend instead of those things! 🤘🧠💃🏻
Wishing you a speedy full recovery. I had a laryngitis, sinusitis, ear infection combo I caught from a younger cousin the week before Thanksgiving that had me coughing so violently I strained a muscle in my chest. I'm finally over the nastiness but the muscle strain could take up to two months to fully heal.
Just poured a glass of wine ready to start cooking and SHE DELIVERS
You're one of the only channels I can listen to and still be productive working on my thesis. Love your videos!!
I always wonder how these people keep a roof over their head. Also, who buys shampoo monthly? The last time I bought shampoo was in July.
As a 40 hours a week regular paycheck with bonuses and benefits worker, I just can’t imagine sharing a top of my NDAs on social media. It screams “i am a fifth grader playing a corporate employee “
I zoomed in here so fast lol. I'm glad your family is feeling better
"can't keep their yappers shut" is probably going to be my new favorite line this month. I can't wait to use it, because...I can't keep my yapper shut. 😃
looooool "girl! come ON!" 😂 I felt that "get a grip" energy so hard.
Oh lovely gifts our children give us! I just got over this horrible stomach bug with the flu as an appetizer. I have been caring for my father who is getting over sepsis and double pneumonia. It is going around! It sucks that moms don’t get to rest until we drop. If I hear one more time you need to take care of yourself while the person is walking away instead of helping I will scream! How about a nap?! But alas it is 130 and an hour and half into my shift and Hannah dropped me a present ❤ thank you!!! I hope you and your family are feeling better and have an awesome holiday ❤❤❤
Edit: I had to take a few breaks to work and every time I come back I have to relike the video. This is frustrating! But know that I did like it. I don’t know why it keeps getting unliked!!
I'm sorry you don't have supportive family/partner/friends
Ahhh I hate MLMs they always get people excited about the POSSIBILITY of making a lot of money, when the vast majority will never see it. They’re acting like Monet said they’re sending them all $3000 checks in the mail yesterday.
Hannah, even though you were sick, you are ABSOLUTELY glowing. I don’t know what you’re doing but you look fantastic. I hope you’re feeling better!
The extra level added just makes people feel like they are moving up faster than they are and increases the motivation to recruit. If you have to wait until 2 or 3 people are under you to see any benefit from recruiting you are less likely to try at all.
Monat isnt throwing money at them, they are dangling money over their heads in a desperate attempt to save the company…
You know the shipping cost thing is even more sinister when you really think about it: you have to place a minimum $84 order with them but free shipping is only for a $100 order. All you have to do is spend the extra $15 and you'll save that $5 on shipping! Guaranteed it was priced and planned to be that way to encourage people to buy more product (aka spend more money). It's a scummy move.
I fully understand you being ill thanks to your little one. Mine picked up covid from nursery and later sneezed in my mouth! That was a fun few weeks...
I'm a voice actor, so my jobs can be under NDA for upwards of two years. And these women can't keep this to themselves for eleven days?! Really?! Thank you, Hannah, for all that you do- Monat doesn't exist where I am, but I have friends in the USA who got sucked into it, and it's nothing short of predatory. Monat should be shut down.
When the girl said this is all she wants for christmas and hannah started laughing, I sang "laughing all the way" LOL
First of all: I'm so glad that you and your little girl feel better finally. 🥰
Second of all: Monat is like a stubborn little child. They just don't want to admit that it is over. That NOBODY wants to get into an MLM anymore. The era of MLM's is over. They want to hold onto that delusion like no other. It's so sad to see.
Monat is relying on their worshipful reps to keep bailing out a sinking ship.
Working in engineering as a CAD drafter, I sign NDA’s once on hiring. Then, it’s understood that my job is dealing with confidential information and that I zip it unless I know for sure it’s published.
These women are acting like they just got a memo from Jesus, saying he’s coming back this Thursday. That’s the vibe they’re giving 😂
😂
Yes!! So excited for another video! ❤ Glad you are okay and feeling better but I impatiently awaited a new video each week.
They signed NDAs and were flown out because they probably received offers or comp that differ from what everyone else received.
never been so early!! i hope everyone is feeling better ♥
I hope you guys get back to full health soon❤ Happy holidays from Germany🎉
Did I come here from rewatching The Death of Monat (part 1)? Sure did!! 😂 I’ve had COVID for the first time and I’m with you Hannah in that lingering recovery. Hope you’re all healthy again ASAP! ❤
As someone who lives near Miami and has begun to understand Miami- that CEO is oozing the wrong kind of Miami energy 🤣
😂😂 omggggg
Yeah...he is giving 'miami vice', for sure 😂
