Top ten signs you are involved with Cydcor, Granton Marketing, Innovage, or The Smart Circle:

#10: You've been employed by your company for four months . . . and the company has changed it's name three times

# 9: You tell relatives and new acquaintances you are working on an 'advertising campaign' . . . but you really sell stuff door-to-door

# 8: You produce over $200 worth of sales . . . but only get about $70 of that for yourself because the pyramid gods yank the rest before it gets to your check.

# 7: Your 'management training' involves buying lunch for interviews that you'll never see again out of your own pocket . . . and you're not actually a manager, or doing any management training.

# 6: You look down on '9 to 5 schmucks' . . . who have secretaries that make more than you and your boss combined.

# 5: You espouse the principles & theories of the most successful people on Earth . . . who would be absolutely repulsed by the business you're in.
