Press Release: MensNiche Hits All Time Low! - GoFuckYourself.com

Sounds like the highschool kids over there put their heads together and sent out a memo. Congrats, idiots:

Quote:

To affiliates,

URL: http://mensniche.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1520

We would like to announce a brand new affiliate manager Ben Lloyd (ICQ 341-743-085) who brings a diverse range of skills to an exhilarating role. Ben has spent years travelling around the world which makes him perfect for a role which requires working with affiliates from over 80 different countries. With experience from Playboy and Siemens, Ben is going to make a huge impact in the amount you earn!

Why the change?

Over the last 6 months our ?MensNiche forum? has uncharacteristically been rather negative and the reason is now clear.

Scott Trimble simply was not doing the job he was paid for; we would therefore like to announce the departure of Scott Trimble from MensNiche.

Although we taught Scott what he knows about affiliate marketing, provided him with a wage which was the highest in the company and three times more than the industry standard, flew him around the world to Florida, Las Vegas, UK and Romania and treated him with the utmost respect he seemed intent on trying to mess with a company that had made him what he was.

Over a period of 6 months:

- Scott neglected affiliate work and new designs to start up his own work on the side.

- Scott referred a designer to an affiliate and then provided sensitive sales information to that designer so the price could be ?bumped up accordingly? and ?kickbacks given?.

- Scott Insulted members of staff and families of those who gave him the chance in this industry.

At MensNiche we are a family but sometimes people mistake our youth and idealistic views as a weakness, we feel this is our strength. Someone like that does not deserve to be part of something special that YOU created.

As per usual we knew what was going on and already sourced an amazing replacement, someone who is 110% dedicated to making MensNiche the best affiliate program on the net, someone who has travelled the world and is ready to make you more money.

Ben Lloyd is your official new affiliate manager with MensNiche and its time to do things differently. It is imperative you make contact with Ben in any of the following ways:

we haven't done business with mensniche, and i don't know any of them at all. i've seen their sites, but that wasn't a good way for them to make their "first impression" on us.

I'm sure they find your opinion very valuable.

xenigo · 12-11-2005, 06:51 AM

I don't know what his nick is, but I think it's pretty pathetic that a company would write THIS up as a memo / press release. I mean, I'd think it would be funny as a joke... but I just got this in my inbox.

Not only is MensNiche not going to be able to find employees, but I don't think affiliates would want to work with asshats like these either.

Dirty F · 12-11-2005, 06:52 AM

Just another sales rep who gets fired. Same shit different day.

All these so called press releases and announcements when someone hires a sales rep or fires one is getting boring.

When Intel fires their CEO... they don't send a bad-mouthing news memo to Associated Press, CNET, and ZDNet to publish. They just say he 'resigned', and they're replacing him.

The last thing they would ever do is air their dirty laundry, because guess what? It makes the company look bad.

Basic Business 101.

And then IBM doesn't send out another press release saying "Intel hits all time low with their press release, they sound like highschool kids."

I think people can figure out for themselves what is and isn't professional.

Making this thread doesn't make you a better business person than them.

And then NichePay reps don't come in and comment on the press release of the press release. Or do they...

It was their choice to send out this memo. I have free reign to do whatever the hell I want with it, including bashing them for it.

Protected by 1st Amendment

They're not my company, and by sending something like this out... they've proven they don't care what people think about them. They're idiots, Stuart. The fact that I've never done such a thing actually does make me a better business person.

at us? And who are you anyway?

The fact is, a company can hang itself... beating it while it's already put itself down isn't required. It just makes the person beating it look as bad as the company itself.

You are apparently lacking business sense.

This isn't just kind of wrong, it's very wrong. Far outside the realm of professional. My raising attention to the unprofessionalism of these guys is just reporting. Nothing more.

What your saying would mean Associated Press would look bad for telling a story. No difference here.

A professional doesn't just sit around and ignore the actions of others. They observe. They question. They learn, and absorb... and talk.

And yes, I call myself professional.

I heard this idiom , however , Mensniche = good people.
Let's say they acted one time what you call unprofessional , ok so what ?
like where the point ? where you diggin ? you want all their affiliates to boycot them or what ?

Vlad · 12-11-2005, 08:04 AM

very unprofessional to send that out
to your affiliates. I smell a lawsuit for libel, slandar etc. etc.

did you pay all your affiliates already? I only heared bad things about your program... you are the last to call anyone unprofessional.....

candyflip · 12-11-2005, 09:08 AM

It is illegal to talk about a former employee like that here in the US.

They're lucky they're not here.

I believe the whole point of what they are saying is that the AP would have taken an approach more akin to: "The team over at MensNiche just got together and sent out the following memo the all of it's affiliates, which I/we feel to be very unprofessional"

and not: "Sounds like the highschool kids over there put their heads together and sent out a memo. Congrats, idiots:"

There have been some interesting emails going out from a bunch of companies lately. I think Gremlins are to blame.

They should also get rid of everybody who thought it was a good idea to send something like that out.
