Anyone on DiS fallen prey to Cobra/Appco/similar companies (pyramid marketing thingy)?
I did, and I feel really ashamed that I didn't suss it sooner, I thought I was smart! Basically, for those who don't know, they advertise vague positions which always turn out to be direct sales on commission. They hook/retain people with tales of promotions and money, and the working atmosphere is very forced. I'm able to say the "moving up the ladder" part never appealed but I spent too long thinking it was honest work for a bit. But, of course, the customers are being massively scammed; I did charity sales, of which most profit went to people above me.
Anyone else got similar experience?
