This is where we broke the story of Arbonne's impending bankruptcy three months before it was announced. It was one of our biggest scoops ever.
The original article was deleted for reasons beyond my control, but the comments remain.

Rebecca,
So who is the knew company if this is true and why would would anyone buy it at a 400 million debt???? The banks finally got a taker?? Do enlighten us?
Rebekah H:
I agree that people are in charge of their own finances, though I know personally that the pressure to put on a spendy recognition is great. I equate it to people who go into debt putting on a lavish wedding. They feel it was worth it to them at the time, but regret it when the bills come due.
I find your comments about the “government-controlled media” laughable. This blog is hardly government-controlled. The bankruptcy filing documents ARE government-controlled, which is to THE BENEFIT of everyone involved in this mess. To imply there is a government conspiracy driving Arbonne debacle is ludicrous.
On their debt: Arbonne IS NATURE’S GATE. They are the SAME COMPANY. The company is $800m+ in debt, a small percentage of which will be written off by the debt-holders. 85-90% of the rest will be swapped for equity. The remaining $125m will be carried AS ONGOING, SERVICABLE DEBT. All of this information is perfectly clear in the filing documents and the math is basic addition. This company is in debt 3x + their PREVIOUS yearly revenue and nobody knows what their revenue will be this year or if the company will be able to manage their Chapter 11. One has to just wait and see. At best Arbonne will come out of this as a company owned by banks, who have no experience in managing, nor desire to manage, an ongoing MLM skin care company. If I were a bank holding Arbonne paper, I would be working my butt off brokering a deal with QVC or HSN right now to salvage what can be salvaged of the brand.
The Arbonne co-branded credit card has been out since at least 2006, it is hardly a “recent” creation. What I find interesting is that you apparently think that Arbonne encouraging carrying a credit card balance and paying the company interest is a good thing. First of all, Arbonne preying on it’s reps to overspend and have a monthly interest nut to pay is not positive, and second, Arbonne does not collect that monthly interest nut. The issuing bank does. Companies make a small percentage from each purchase with co-branded cards, they do not “collect the interest” to their own benefit. Last time I looked, there was no “Bank of Arbonne.” That interest will not be benefiting Arbonne. At best, the Arbonne co-branded card only makes it easier for reps to —drumroll please— BUY MORE ARBONNE!
My issue with the returned checks is that Arbonne knew they would be switching banks, could easily have notified those holding bad checks from the company, and did not. In my eyes that is at best incompetence resulting in bad faith and at worst deliberate, outright fraud. They perpetrated ACTUAL DAMAGES by not telling what they knew. When you are a business owner and you deposit a check that is subsequently returned, you suffer ACTUAL DAMAGES in the amount of fees (which can be repaid by Arbonne), the bigger problem is the intangibles, like goodwill. Your commission check bounces, the checks you wrote on that money bounce, you can’t pay your suppliers, utilities, etc. If they had bounced a check on me, I would have sued them. I would not have waited around aimlessly reading EOA flyers waiting for my “new” check to come in the mail.
My issue with Arbonne remains what it always has been – they knew in advance about every single issue that is giving them bad press and creating bad feelings right now, and they did nothing. The spin machine will not change that. They are killing their own company. No blog posts or comments can do any more damage than what the company has done to itself.
Correction,
In my last comment I said “Arbonne is NATURE’S GATE.” I means “Arbonne is NATURAL PRODUCTS GROUP.”
A thousand pardons.
Chloe you are indeed a brown noser!!! To Sandy and Unbelievealble, thank you for posting something that makes sense for a change. It seems like all these TY followers have not done their research very well. I know from personal experience that Arbonne is a great company. It’s just too sad to see that some ppl are so ignorant and judgemental. There is and always will be people that make Arbonne or anything else for that matter look bad, But you are your own judge and you make your own decisions and that ultimately it makes you who you are as a person. So stop coming on here with your sad stories because you had a choice and you made your own decisions. I know that Arbonne will come out of this. They have owesome products!!! I love them and so many other people do too!!!!!
Nancy, what you are saying is what you are, a brown nose yourself for ARbonne. Perhaps you should go back to your ARbonne blog and quote you rock. Remember, this isn’t your blog and you also should just judge yourself and instead of again judging other. Why don’t you start your own blog and then you can command others to stay away. Its called freedom of speech and it is not a communist country here. If you don’t like what someone else says then you go away and stop acting like some micr managing mommy.
Chloe, I have liked your comments. I think they are insightful and at times, touching.
But you are allowing some other commenters to bait you into their game. They are doing what they can to distract themselves from the issues. Don’t help them. You are better and smarter than that, I can tell.
Keep your head up! You know your truth and have educated yourself on the facts. Don’t sink to their level and enable them to distract themselves from the facts.
I’ll say it again, ad infinitum. The issue remains what it always was. Arbonne has good products (IMHO). Their products are sellable. Their compensation plan is OK.
They made CRITICAL recruiting mistakes FAR BEFORE the Chapter 11 was filed. Their policies sucked, so they lied. They lied in their literature, at their motivational events, and they allowed their recruiters to lie. They can’t stand back and point the finger and cry “we couldn’t do anything, they are IC’s!” They could have corrected the recruitment issues. They didn’t want to because the biggest offenders were putting up the biggest sales and recruitment numbers.
Then, they made CRITICAL mistakes in the way this Chapter 11 filing was handled. When further (and I believe, predictable) problems like checks being returned due to a banking change happened, they compounded those mistakes by hiding behind rhetoric instead of alerting their (voluntary) sales staff as they should have.
That was just stupid. Some people will stick around to be abused, but only for so long. Only until the money starts to dwindle. Arbonne’s biggest cheerleaders would do a 180 TODAY if Arbonne stopped or altered the way they are paying them. That is a stone fact and I dare anyone to make a coherent argument to the contrary. This has happened many, many times in MLM. The company makes mistakes, doesn’t correct them, allows their IC’s to engage in shady practices, gets into financial trouble, then alienates their IC’s, who go elsewhere when they no longer make money from that company. That is what I believe is happening with Arbonne right now.
Arbonne preaches the family. When these terrible things happened, they would have been much better off to “virtually link arms,” apologize to their consultants for the problem, had a nice cathartic family “cry,” and moved on. DOING THAT would’ve saved their company. Their actual actions make me think they don’t want it to be saved, or that they are incompetent, or that it is hopeless.
well…just received my direct deposit paycheque from Arbonne….what a wonderful company. I continue to work from home selling a consumable product to who ever wants to buy..unforced. I guess we will stop hearing from some on this blog soon and i bet in a month or so this blog will die a slow death.
A few from our team attending Areas in Paradise. Amazing ….this company is unique.SPOiled these girls.
Obviously all this debt is just some lawyer banker talk which is way above you and i ,
A company going under would not be allowed to spend money on anything.
I feel for those who jumped ship too early and now have to try something else.
All those who stayed are abviously business minded and have a likelyhood of succeeding in any business they pursue.
Nancy,
Talk about bad choices………Arbonne is the ultimate bad choice maker. It was their poor decisions and choices that has them in bankruptcy at a debt load of $850 million (from completely debtfree I might add). If it’s facts you want just go to http://www.npginfo.com. Do the research. Talk about bad choices. Amazing. How ignorant is that!
I am interested in how ppl are going to talk to their prospects about the business. No one has an answer to that one. DM on here went to her prospects 4 or 5 I believe and told them the truth. Not one of them wanted to get involved at this point. But hey let’s just make ridiculous statements like what a great company they are. They once were, but now? Outstanding bills, embarassing to try to represent a company like that.
There was a time when it didn’t matter that Shelley offered other choices to her clients. I know for a fact that other ENVP’s were signed up to buy products with other mlm’s to get things at a discount that Arbonne didn’t have! In fact, one of the top ten was signed up to get weight loss products for her own personal use because she didn’t like Arbonne’s. What’s the deal? Could it be that A now is so desperate and that they are looking for ways to cut costs by terminating ppl like Shelley? Why didn’t it matter then but does now? Why?
You are heartless and cruel if you can dismiss what has happened to ppl so easily. What I have discovered from many Arbonne people through this experience is that relationships are conditional. Conditional on being an Arbonne brown noser. Being 110% Arbonne and nothing else. If you are not, you are dismissed, rejected, maligned and yes, even terminated. The unspoken code of behavior is talking the talk, ignoring the truth and facts and follow like dumb sheep being led to the slaughter or else. Don’t question, just listen to your upline, and then repeat it over and over. Don’t think for yourself. And whatever you do, don’t have anything contrary to say about Arbonne at all. Down right scarey.
Good luck Nancy. I really think you fit well into the Arbonne mold. You are a dyed in the wool loyal Arbonne person right down to your calloused attitude towards hurting people.
“All those who stayed are abviously business minded and have a likelyhood of succeeding in any business they pursue.”
That is probably the quote of the day. Yes, staying with a company that went bankrupt…one that you have to sit across the table from someone and explain why the company is bankrupt before they get involved with you in your business…that is “ABVIOUSLY” an incredible business mind.
I would be surprised if there were many Arbonne Consultants who themselves are not angry, frustrated, and deeply concerned about what has been happening at Arbonne. Assuming what they think and feel is ignorant. Being judged as brainless arbonnites is cruel.
Weighing the pros and cons of the current situation is not easy. Many Consultants have a lot invested in Arbonne making it: their livelihood, they have worked hard and honestly to get where they are, they have teams they care about, clients they service, they really believe in the products, they had hopes and dreams for themselves and their families.
They didn’t see this coming, they are not entirely sure what to do. Should I leave and build elsewhere? Will Arbonne survive, make the right changes necessary for me to stay with them? How will I honestly present the bankruptcy to anyone I wished to join my team?
I imagine many are pensively waiting and watching and maintaining their business with integrity and balance until they have a better understanding of what is going on, get through the initial shock of realizing things like: their company has been having financial problems of a magnitude they never imagined, that there were teams out their doing things unethically, that admired leaders are leaving the company, that what they thought was their future has to be re-evaluated and tough decisions might have to be made.
Most of them are probably smart independent leaders who don’t want to make impulsive moves, but don’t fault another Consultant who does, knowing it is their choice to go or stay. They are not stupid Arbonne groupies who have cult mentalities and move through their days like zombies mouthing insipid mantras like “Arbonne Rocks” oblivious to the seriousness of this issue. They are sentient individuals who would like to be able to pause and consider, read through materials, take counsel, then make an informed decision based upon facts-not speculations, rational emotions-not knee jerk hysterics.
They might stay with Arbonne and find in the longer run that this was a great decision, they may leave and have success elsewhere. If you have honest and sound ethics, work diligently, and have good people skills, you will most likely be successful wherever you are. The flip side of this is true too: if you are a bitter gossip, maiming slanderer, blame oriented individual, who is lazy and uses others you will most likely go from endeavor to endeavor creating ill will and havoc wherever you unfortunately land.
Arbonne Consultants who decide to stay with Arbonne should not be judged so harshly for their decision. Shaming, criticizing, demeaning, telling them to go elsewhere and start their own blogs if they see things differently then you, calling them names(like dumb sheep) is insulting, rude and unnecessary. If someone has an alternate perspective than yours, can you not appreciate this? Why does everyone have to agree with you or jump on the same band wagon you ride around on day after day shouting the same angry and condemning messages?
Everybody does not have to think alike, make the same decisions, agree on everything. Free world, okay? But continually shaming and belittling people who disagree with you on this blog with derisive and hurtful words is pitiful and prevents any real dialog about the issues at hand.
I am intelligent enough to understand that not everyone fits into the Arbonne brown noser category. If the shoes fits, wear it, if not, fine. My heart goes out to those who are at risk of losing everything they have worked for.
There are those who see things as they are and aren’t going along with the status quo period. No more swallowing the hype. We are not Ty followers or any other type of brown nosers for that matter. It goes both ways doesn’t it unbelievable? You want to defend and that is understandable. But, I too, want to defend those who have been hurt, continue to be hurt, yet are made to feel like pond scrum because of Arbonne’s failings!
On this blog you are going to hear things you won’t like. You’re not going to be able to control what is said. We all have a choice here. Read this blog, respond to it or if it is too distasteful, I would recommend you find another.
This is what the site is telling consultants to say to their downline and prospects. I will paste the other letter too.
Arbonne Independent Consultants’ “Elevator Speech”
What should I say to my SuccessLine, downline, Clients, friends and family about the debt
reduction plan?
We are conducting business as usual at Arbonne. The company has taken action to reduce its debt
obligations by over 80 percent and enhance its future fi nancial performance. Arbonne’s Independent
Consultants can be confi dent that compensation from commissions and overrides is secure, along with
all the amazing trips, incentives, training and product launches planned for the future.
Our future has never been brighter. You should be confi dent in communicating the Arbonne opportunity to
new and prospective Independent Consultants and selling Arbonne’s amazing products to Clients with the
same unwavering passion.
This is the letter that corporate is giving us. I only received the bankruptcy letter and now this was is only on the site but not sent yet.
February 5, 2010
Dear Valued Consultant,
I am writing to provide you with an update on our “pre-packaged” debt restructuring, which overall is going
very well. Most importantly, we are on track to have our debt-reduction plan approved by the court later this
month and to re-emerge from Chapter 11 shortly after that.
Thank you for the many messages you have sent me expressing your continued confi dence in the Arbonne
opportunity and your excitement about the many events and product launches planned for 2010. I’ve shared
these comments with our leadership team and with the steering committee representing our lenders—who
soon will be the company’s proud new owners. The lenders have reaffi rmed to me their strong confi dence in
the future of our business.
Even the judge overseeing our case has had positive things to say about Arbonne! I thought you might enjoy
this quote from Judge Brendan Shannon from the offi cial transcript of our fi rst court hearing: “I read this as
a fi nancing restructuring. The business itself seems to be well managed with valuable relationships with your
Consultants, the AICs (Arbonne Independent Consultants), as well as the vendors and suppliers, and the
issue was basically a crushing debt load.”
The judge also expressed an interest in our RE9® anti-aging product, but acknowledged that he’s probably
not allowed to sign up for it!
Clearly, our continued success with RE9 and our many other wonderful products has also captured the
attention of our competitors. In fact, I have received several reports that a number of distributors for other
MLM companies have been aggressively trying to recruit some of Arbonne’s most talented Independent
Consultants. This behavior is unethical and in violation of industry policies—a point I have made personally
to the leaders of these companies. It is not entirely surprising that in these challenging economic times,
unscrupulous predators will resort to spreading false and misleading information in an attempt to poach
proven business–generators.
Indeed, it is a tribute to the success of the Arbonne people and products throughout its 30–year history
that these distributors are so eager to reap the benefi ts of your hard work and dedication. Please be
assured that we are vigilant and working hard to protect and preserve the Arbonne family! And most
important, you have been incredibly positive leaders in guiding your SuccessLine on how to handle
these situations and return to focus on the positive aspects of our business.
The debt restructuring process has been a learning experience for all of us, and there have been a few
bumps in the road—like these poaching attempts—that have required our immediate attention. We are doing
our best to address these challenges quickly, effectively and in an open and transparent manner.
One such bump in the road was a recent incident in which several hundred Independent Consultants in the
U.S. and Canada were unable to cash a check they received from Arbonne. In our preparation for our “prepackaged”
debt restructuring, we were aware that immediately after the court fi ling our bank would have
to suspend our account temporarily—for no more than 24 hours. We believed the bank would hold any
Arbonne checks submitted to them and then accept them once the courts had ruled to reopen the accounts.
However, due to administrative errors by the bank, our account was closed longer than expected and some
checks were rejected during this extended timeframe. Upon learning of this situation, we immediately notifi ed
9400 JERONIMO ROAD + IRVINE, CA 92618
T 949.770.2610 ARBONNE.COM
the bank and put in place a process to clear up the problem. We also addressed a similar bank error that
affected checks issued to a small number of Independent Consultants in the UK, even though our operations
in the UK (and Australia) are not part of the restructuring process. We also are sending a letter to all affected
individuals to apologize for this error and explain what went wrong.
We deeply regret this situation, particularly since it has given certain unscrupulous distributors at other MLM
companies an opening to spread false and misleading information about Arbonne. If you receive questions
about this from anyone, please reassure them that these were isolated events due to administrative errors by
our banks. This has impacted only several hundred of the 61,000 checks issued for December overrides and
commissions. If you have questions or concerns regarding this situation, please contact Customer Service
at 1.800.ARBONNE.
Likewise, some of you have reported that you received a copy of the “Notice of Commencement” by certifi ed
mail, even though we had indicated that this Notice would be sent to Independent Consultants only by
e–mail. In fact, only a handful of Independent Consultants received the certifi ed letter, and that is because
they were entered in our accounting systems as vendors because of prior payments they may have received
outside of our normal commission check process (i.e., travel reimbursements).
In the interest of maintaining transparency, and preparing you to handle any future questions, you should
know that a second e–mail will be sent to all Independent Consultants and Preferred Clients in a few weeks.
Like the fi rst letter, this notice is required by law. It will announce that the court has approved our debt–
reduction plan, provide a deadline for the claims process, and report that we have offi cially emerged from
Chapter 11. We currently expect this to occur in early March—hopefully before NTC.
Speaking of NTC, it is scheduled for March 18–20 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. We have many exciting
speakers and events lined up for this 30th anniversary extravaganza. I expect we will have a lot to celebrate
and I certainly hope to see you there!
In summary, I am pleased with our progress and am looking forward to putting the legal process behind us
within a few weeks. With that process soon to be in our rear–view mirror, we then can turn our full attention
to the road ahead…and to the many promising opportunities ahead for Arbonne.
Thanks for your continued support.
Sincerely,
Thanks Rebecca because Im not looking for anyone to feel sorry for me. Im way beyond that at this point. I just dont want anyone else to make my mistakes. And YES I HAD A CHOICE……My mentor and leader was Cecilia Stoll! I had many phone calls with her and was in her living room for many trainings many times. To hear “if you believe……”. I have no one else to blame,but myself for getting sucked in to the Arbonne Cult!!! I own up to that.
Trust me I wish I had not been so influenced but at the time the pressure was high. And at that time it was what everyone was being told to do. Bottom line is….things have been going down hill for 3-4 years. Nothing was done until the downfall started affecting the NVP’s paycheck. Tom Barrett said it best when he said STOP acting like you make more money than you do, and be honest with your downline…
Arbonne is wrong in the things they have done and telling the NVP’s to deny and then sugar coat……Those top NVP’s who have encouraged those below to “buy in” to get to the next level because that AM is right behind you and you dont want to get passed….I know of many who ran specials that cost them well over $10,000 out of their own pockets to move up to RVP! And then get the pat on the back of job well done and by they way….I promoted up too!! Yea for the both of us!
GREED GREED GREED GREED…….It caught up to many NVP’s and it caught up to Arbonne the company.
NOT all NVP’s fall in to this category,but many many of them do!
Arbonne is wrong & desperate right now! Trimming the fat is going to cost them in the long run. I am & will be telling everyone in my salon and that long list of about 800 wholesale clients I still have listed on my roster sheet from Christmas will be getting a letter explaining what Arbonne did to me. And I know there are MANY others out there like me and I just dont think this was a smart move on their part.
Arbonne needs to own up to you “REAP WHAT YOU SEW”
Arbonne WAS a great thing and I loved Petter and Candice and those days of the genuine Arbonne
Why is the Arbonne motto “Fake it Till You Make it”, which is really means “Lie till you Cry” is an ethical statement?
I was recruited with inflated number from 2 years before. I spent a fortune, and “believed” all the way to the poor house. I promoted to Area and helped 3 DM’s promote – to not have them count for my DM bonus anymore. I actually earned more as a DM than an Area. CRAZY
Ethics – Everyone in my upline was faking it. Faking incomes and how successful they really were. I never knew this until I left. – UNETHICAL. I think anyone should be able to recruit anyone at anytime. That way, companies would keep consultants not only happy but profitable. Then they wouldn’t have to worry about them leaving.
I am new — I signed on a few days before the bankruptcy announcement. How am I supposed to sign on new prospects with this looming? And how long will I have to wait before I feel comfortable enough with Arbonne’s financial situation to ask anyone else to join me in this venture? I am not too optimistic right now.
Well, how do you feel about that elevator speech that ARbonne is putting on the site for consultants to use? Have you not talked to your sponsor? What does your sponsor say and how are they viewing it?
Quite frankly, I have shown a few people since the bankruptcy announcement and no one wants to join. However, on the flip side they are thank ful that I have told them the truth. They are all educated and are not dumb about what is going on with companies. I had one of my consultants sign someone on and we had no idea about this when it happened. To the new consultants horror, she saw the Restructuring part on the IC page. Her husband had told her to enjoy the discount but not venture until he see full disclosure as the months go by.
You should be communicating this to your sponsor. They should help you.
Wow — didn’t think I would be coming back here, but it is a heated and interesting discussion. This business is different from others that have filed Chapter 11 in that the success of the company is contingent on one thing and one thing only….TRUST.
The comp plan, the products, the business building system… all important components, don’t add up cumulatively to the power of trusting the leaders and the parent company. I feel like I’m dealing with an irresponsible teenager who maxed out the credit card. I still love my child (and my ARbonne business). I know that people make mistakes (and so do companies), but gosh darn it I am waiting for some ownership and contrition. This would give me some peace of mind that the mistakes are recognized and won’t be repeated.
And yes, I know we determine our own success, but how on earth can an honest consultant, whose success is contingent upon sharing this opportunity be successful when trust has been betrayed and not owned up to?
Arbonne has a new CEO, new owners, new products coming out, a new comp plan, the best legal and financial consultants money can buy, the big PR firm…but none of it matters if they can’t restore the one critical component to success…TRUST… They have one thing right in terms of their tag line for the National Training Conference and that is their consultants need to BELIEVE.. But how to restore the belief, to restore the good faith…? I have an idea — How about telling the truth?
I have stated before and I stand by this…I BELIEVE that the best thing that Arbonne can do right now is to clarify in writing the mistakes that have been made. Rita should stand on the stage at NTC with humility, grace and integrity and set the record straight about the misrepresentations, lack of responsible communication to their sales force and recklessness that are now so apparent yet continue to be ignored in lieu of more hype. The buck stops there. If they don’t want to be blamed, they need to stop blaming external circumstances (the economy and blah blah blah) for the mess that has been created by their ignorance (ignoring).
I have been telling my upline and my team for years that the business model that was being allowed to continue was unsustainable and corrupt…that it robbed the poor to feed the rich…not exactly the Arbonne Spirit the company says that they ascribe to. No one would listen until it negatively effected the bottom line and the pockets of the higher ups. It was allowed to continue for WAY TOO LONG and now we are left to clean up a terrible reputation.
Again, yes, I know we are our business. My reputation in this business is flawless. I have always done right by my clients and by my team. Yet my business suffers (as so many others do who have built the right way) because of the backlash caused by negligence and greed. I am constantly running into someone who knows someone who has been burned by Arbonne…pretty difficult to sell the business. I want to be able to say, yes you are right. They have addressed all of that, owned it and I TRUST THIS COMPANY implicity now. But how can I??
The reason consultants are called “Arbots” and blind sheep is because that is how they have been treated. Please Arbonne give us the respect we deserve and lay down the cards for all of us to see. Even those posting “Arbonne Rocks” must admit that this would be a relief.
And the truth shall set them Free…
AM,
I loved reading what your wrote. Know this for certain: THEY WILL NOT, SHE WILL NOT EVER ADMIT TO WHAT THEY HAVE DONE. The Arbonne arrogance won’t allow it.
PRIDE, PRIDE, PRIDE! We can cry for honesty endlessly but it just won’t come. The company that was, as Rita put it, blessed and favored is now dark and dismal. The big, black cloud of failure now hangs over it’s head.
Thank you Keep it Real…I don’t want to be called a brown noser
but I have enjoyed your insights as well. I try to keep an open mind and an open heart.
I’m just waiting and hoping for their insides to match their outsides — but how long is a person to wait?
In the meantime, I will continue to share the products and will be working on a backup plan. I fear that what you say may be accurate. Pride comes before the fall…
AM, you sound like you are making a good decision in your approach. I agree with your comments too. It’s that line, With great power comes great responsibility. It is time for them to speak the truth and put their big girl panties on! They can’t sugar coat it any more. Yes, it’s nice that they have done these trips and incentives, but like your story with a teenager and a credit card- now the credit card statement has come in the mail. Party is over. Time to set the record straight.
I just pasted what someone else sent me. This is from the ; to arbonne or not to arbonne
site
This would be sad if it happened

Is it just a rumor….You watch, I predict that Rita Davenport will be leaving Arbonne….What on earth is going on? This is from the same source that told me about Stuart mcmillan’s departure.

My wife has heard this rumor as well. I hope not but we’ll see.
Just wondering : What Did Rita Know? and What Does Rita Really Do?
Rita needs to leave…all upper management needs to leave. Someone needs to be accountable. Now they have another woman figure in a high position. No need for another spokesperson. Im sure she wont lose her paycheck.
Time for her to retire anyways. Arbonne will be sold to a large company who will change everything and take it to
a whole new level.
I have deleted several comments that directly attack Rita’s looks. Please stop it. You want to suggest that she has mismanaged Arbonne and should be fired, knock yourself out. But stop the schoolyard name calling.
Thanks
I have met her and she is incredible. However, she wasn’t in charge of what was going on in the financial department.
She is a woman of Gold and if she had it her way she would say everything but there are all the lawyers and the CEO that still control what she can say. This must be crushing her. She is a very unique person with a heart of gold.
It is especially rewarding to see you continuing to practice what you preach in a simple and unequivocal way. Thanks for your willingness to spend your time in the lab testing what really works and then freely sharing the results with the rest of us.
