Undercover Boss - Calgary Transit S4 E7 (Canadian TV series)

Calgary Transit boss Doug Morgan struggles to cope when he joins his staff to work in disguise, cleaning vomit off buses, work in fume-filled garages, and face dangerous public confrontations. At the end of it all, he makes a surprising gesture that has one worker in tears.

As a Calgarian, my favorite part of this is that NOTHING he said he wanted to do, has been implemented. New stations are terribly designed, half assed because "it can be modified/extended/fixed later". The motto of Calgary is "I know its not right, but it can be fixed later for some extra money"

[@stfu699]

There needs to be turn styles and more security at stations

Why didn't he shadow a driver? That is the front line of the transit. I have a relative that has worked for the Calgary Transit for 20 years and he has been spit at, and threatened so many times it's crazy. The supervisors don't give 2 shits and from this episode neither does the head boss apparently. He never even got on a bus to see what they go through.

I’d kill to see an ep of undercover boss at my workplace. Just spent a ridiculous amount on a superficial facelift to the store but the tills are literally falling apart as you use them, we are understaffed because even high school drop outs won’t work in these conditions. I could just imagine that ep. “My till froze, it’s been like this for 10min and I have a lineup of grumpy customers now what do I do!?!?!?!” “Well have you tried hitting the side like this? Alright, that’s not working let me undo the tape holding this panel from falling off. There’s your problem, the wires fell out. Let me skin this and add a bit more wine to the exposed wire and I’ll ram it up there again and meanwhile while it’s having a freak out trying to reboot let’s move people to this till. Here’s the op number and pw for someone who quit in a fit of rage and despair because you can’t use your own until the stupid machine fixes itself.” “Why not call for a repair tech?” Because our one repair guy that [Company] will allow us to hire will just do the exact same thing. We can’t repair our machines because they haven’t made parts for them in almost 20 years.” “Ahhhh. The tills on fire!” *gives up on this place* “I’ll get the marshmallows”

My mom worked at Spring Gardens Garage (the tire shop and the garage in the show) from 1970 until her retirement in 2002 (mom started with transit back in 1968), it looked the same as it did when mom worked there. It hasn’t changed unfortunately. Thankfully she had a desk job in the maintenance control office, but she still had to walk through the garage every single day. Spring Gardens also houses Transit headquarters, which really gets me going as all Doug had to do was get off his backside and see the conditions! This is why unions exist.
