As a former corporate employee I have no love for NuSkin, but as just a small point of fact, the bulk of the sales comes from the Asia Pacific region, not China specifically. Chinese growth has helped fueled the stock price rise in recent years but of the major countries in the region, China is among the newest and is (well, was - been gone for a while) dwarfed by the more established markets (

I was listening to the Planet Money podcast on my way to work this morning and they had a very interesting segment about 2 million dollar donations to a Romney supporting Super PAC that came from Provo. Nobody recognized the company names, their offices did not exist and further digging found that they traced back to Steve Lund, former CEO of NuSkin and current 70. Shocking that a Pyramid sch

COB is an Oracle shop, but it's not standard Oracle 11g (Grid), they run Oracle 11c (Celestial). I can only imagine the licensing fees for that extra feature.

I have been openly non/ex-mormon for pretty much the entirety of my post high school life ( 18 years ) and lived in various cities in Utah County. I spent 3 years at a manufacturing facility during college with no problems. Right out of college, I was hired on at NuSkin - heavily LDS company - and worked for 7.5 years with no hint of discrimination regarding my exmo status. In fact, I rose

Clara and Craig are still plugged in at the top of the pyramid and getting very large commission checks every month. However Clara hasn't been 'active' in the business in years and Craig, as I recall is only semi involved. It's been a few years since I worked there.

Very likely, the Mower's founded and owned Neways, one of the sleaziest of the Utah MLM's and that's saying a lot. They were one of the first MLM's to gain market share in Russia - thanks to the cooperation of the Russian Mafia. http://www.deseretnews.com/article/645201376/Neways-founders-sent-to-prison-for-tax-evasion.html But they're big Republican contributors, LDS and rich, so they mu

In one eye-opening semester I : Sold LSD and weed to other students ( great supplemental income, and no shortage of customers ). Took several co-eds to the local hot springs for skinny dipping and subsequent activities.

I work in an amazingly liberal ( not necc politically ) office and we really need another 1 or 2 Oracle DBA's. Great benefits and salary ( 100k+ ), minimal travel or OT, 9/9 schedule if you want it.
