Recently I stumbled across a tweet discussing how often in the antiMLM community 9-5 jobs can be inadvertently glamorized. This tweet really got me thinking, because, while MLMs are definitely worse, traditional, 9-5 jobs can also be problematic. I’m joined in this video by Savy Writes Books to discuss the issues with the American mindset on work and labor, and how this mindset can often drive people to join things like MLMs. We need to not only speak out against MLMs, but also speak out against injustices happening to the American workforce.
