Network marketing (or other variant names) seems to be poping out all over the places. A number of my friends are involved in it. Was even asked to join their companies. which i obviously rejected and didn't care about them anymore..

Recently my best friend also joined a similar company. It left me with mixed feelings. Don't know how to describe la. Happy that he got a job and is happy with the work environment, sad because afraid that he might be taken advantage of by these company's management. Coz the ppl there are really very good in talking, I just don't want him to be the prey in it..

So I tried to do some research about these companies, many forums are actually saying ugly stuff about it.. I believe that there must be bad things ppl experienced that triggered them to post such comments. If there's nothing strong enuff to trigger negative feelings, guess they wouldn't be so free to post comments ba. But still it's their subjective opinions, you have to decide for yourself for its credibility.

I think, subconciously what i'm doing is that i'm trying to persuade my best fren to quit.. It's not that I'm afraid that he'll sell to me, or ask me to join. I seriously never thought of such thing and I trust that he won't recruit me.. It's just that I saw so many people who regreted staying the the company and how ppl got brainwashed after they stay for quite some time, to the point that it's scary, really.. Well, I must agree that I'm against network marketing because i see more cons than pros in it. I'll never be in network marketing coz sales is never my cup of tea. However I'm not totally prejudiced, just that ethical network marketing firm is very few in Singapore. Actually, in business, ethics is seldom the main considerations.

But guess from his standpoint, it might be very disappointing and exasperating that I'm his best friends, but i'm not supporting him completely. Ofcouse it is more desirable for me to go with him than against him. However, I'm really concerned and afraid that he might regret in the future, so i think it is more appropriate for me to express my alternative opinion, which is not trying to psycho him, just expressing my concerns for him. Hope he won;t blame me and hope it will not jeopardise our friendship in any slightest degree..

I sensed that my best friend is quite flared up with me for bringing the topic up time after time. Please dun be pissed with me ok. My intention was to equiped you with information and feedback from a different side, so that you can have a better judgement and make the best decision you deem. It is definately not to pour cold water on you. Anyway, it'll be the very last time I'll talk with him about this sensitive topic liao. He has a mind of his own, and I believe that he can make decisions appropriate with him. Whatever it is, I'll respect his decision and support him.. So good luck brother =]
