Irritating

There are certain things which I find HIGHLY irritating. At the top of that list is "Pushy People."

Recently I started selling "product" from a major company. One of those "Be your own boss," "Become a consultant" things. When I came into this, I told my "Director" that I didn't want to push others into selling this. I'm not one to force others to buy or sell things. I mean, I hate it when people push their products on me so I go into my businesses with the mindset of: If they want to buy from me, I'll be available to them but I WILL NOT force people to buy.

That being said: I am incredibly frustrated with my new director!! She's the type of person who will force others to buy. She's pushy, and I am not. In order to become an official Consultant I "have" to place a $600 qualifying order. Amazingly enough, when I first signed up, she was telling me that I had to place this order within 2 weeks. I told her I didn't have that kind of money...that's one of the reasons I got into selling this stuff: To make some extra spending money. Well, she just kept pushing this. Kept saying I had to place this order. Blah blah blah.

So I figured out I could take orders an collect the $$ I needed. From the way they made it out, I needed to place a qualifying order of $600. I took that to mean, since I get a discount on the product, I would need less than the $600 they were saying. Nope. I actually need MORE than that because, not only do I have to put in $600 on my end, I have to pay taxes on the RETAIL amount!!

Well, then I had my "debut" and got some orders in. Added with the orders I had taken before then and I was doing good. I put in the Credit Card #'s into Propay and was rollin along. Finally, today I got enough orders to cover most of my expenses on this qualifying order. I go back into Propay and see that the amount available to me isn't what I put in there. Apparently Propay charges a fee!! So I lost more money. URGH.

Add insult to injury: I finish loading my orders, figuring out what I need and what I don't. I go to place my order and am hit with 3 things. The first is: Well, the first is that I have to pay taxes on the retail value of the "Bonus" I earned. That's ridiculous in my book. And before you ask, you can't "opt-out" of the bonus either. Second: I can't use two separate cards to pay for this. I can't use my checking account and my Propay account! I can only use one. Well, as aggravating as that is, it gets even better. I go to transfer all the money from Propay into my checking out...only to get assessed ANOTHER FEE!! That's like a double tax! You charged me a fee to put the $$ in there and then charge me again to USE THE MONEY?!?!?

Needless to say, tonight and this business are getting under my skin. And I don't like it one bit.
