Its all set up. He knows he's on undercover boss. Else what would be the reason for the cameras everywhere?

[@littlekyle]

@@gb342002 The answer is stated in the opening of each show!!! A head up of the company, usually the CEO, will pretend to be an entry level worker with a once in a lifetime opportunity to try out all of the positions within a certain career path (whatever his/her company does - mail delivery, fast food, septic, road cleaning, etc.)... everybody training the boss knows they are on camera because they think they are a part of a show trying to discover which entry level job suits the "newbie" best. That is why they do not question the cameras and are not suspicious - also why nobody gets sued for filming without permission. At the end of the show, all of the people who trained the undercover boss meet up at the company's headquarters in order to give their personal opinion on whether or not they think he/she can do whatever job they trained the boss in. That is when they find out it was the CEO the entire time!!! It is both funny and nerve wracking because sometimes their cover is blown. It is always a bit exhilarating when a worker asks, "Am I on Undercover Boss?" Like - what do they do now? Anyways, I know youtube only has highlights from the show. That is why I thought I would explain the opening and how that all works. I hope you have a beautiful day!!! God created you with love and purpose. I pray He reveals Himself to you in mighty ways and that you have joy!!!

[@vinchinzo594]

They're all over the place. Stop buying into the narrative of "ceo = money hungry psychopath". It's a false narrative. It applies sometimes, let me explain. When you have that image in your head, what you're really imagining are Fortune 500 companies that have CEOs who had nothing to do with the founding of the company. Those CEOs are usually brought in after the company is already publicly traded on the stock market and the company itself has been sold. Now those companies sole function is to generate stock value for shareholders. This is where the greed and money-hunger comes in. The CEO of a small business is typically the founder of the business. Starting a business does not in any way, shape, or form indicate greed or psychopathy. These are the folks that literally built the world around you that you get to live in while criticizing them inside of an ignorant, baseless, fact-less echo chamber perpetuating this false narrative. It's something you heard, and are now regurgitating without ever having seriously thought about the issue. Don't be that guy.

[@gertpacu3926]

It's sad that some companies hire people that do not belong in that position. I was a Senior Team Lead at American Recovery and assisted in about 100 interviews just for customer service people. The 15 people that I went to bat for, which nobody else had high on their list all got hired and all were still employed by the company when I left (approx 4-6 years that I had input on hiring). I made a heck of a talent scout and you can tell by what people say whether or not they are good people. If they just come at me with normal answers that they got online to say before the interview I would check to see if they were nervous. You can tell all from sweat, stuttering, body language ect ect. Around a 1/3rd of the people I went to bat for were very nervous, and usually it means that they don't want to mess up because they REALLY WANT that job. The ones that sound like they do interviews every day and are too comfortable I take another look at their work history to see how long they are at each position.

@@TonyCook7 "Nobody is forcing them to work there" is one of the stupiest things someone can say, because there are millions of people who are happy to even have a job so they dont have to live on the streets.

[@JustMe-vk4fn]

@ 2:49 Take a look at the boss's face. Imagine the pleasure it brings one decent person to reward the hard work and knowledge and experience of *another* decent person by sharing. No good deed is ever wasted because it affects everyone involved. Not only the recipient. Do what you can when you can.

[@pcbacklash_3261]

I'm impressed by the energy and obvious commitment of this employee, but what really struck me was the way he was so encouraging to the 'new guy,' immediately treating him like a brother. A team player, and a committed father. A good choice for promotion!

99.99999% of the time, that type of gift from an employer only happens on TV. I seen a guy do our floor with a broken knee. Told me it's slowing him down and he's in lots of pain. Told me he had to keep working to pay his rent. Single dad with 2 kids. Come to find out he was fired for being to slow on the job. 😂

[@zeviono4562]

[@Elagentejefe]

You do realize that not all business owners are in a position to do things like this for their employees, right? Not saying I agree with an employer not taking an injury into account, but especially for a small business, time is money is not just a cliche. It's the gospel truth. Be angry at the situation all you like, it doesn't change the rule of economics, which governs us all.

[@bobmoore303]

Of course this stuff is on TV cause it makes great ratings, and I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of that gift money was fronted by the network. However I know local small business owners that have done similar things on a smaller scale for some of their employees. So it does happen, you just don't hear about it.

[@shannonhughes4787]

Those tears he shed were not of joy or sorrow, those were tears he’s held onto for years but was unable to release them because he had to be strong for his family, in that moment he was given a space where another man recognized his strength and awarded him for it … us men do not get such moments more than a few times in our lives where our struggles are seen and recognized most of the time we are ignored this is a truly great thing to have caught on film and shared

[@ResponsiblePledge]

This show gets me every single time, every time. I was raised in a family where the men took showers at the end of the day, not necessarily to start the day off. We were poor, we were proud, we knew hard work, but we also knew that hard work could pay off other's debts unless we were mindful. Kudos to good employees and great employers

[@steveanderson461]

It just takes one decent person to give a person this kind of break/earned break and it really will change his life and his kids lives. I only wish there were more people like the Boss /owner that would do this for people that work that hard and cant get ahead of it. Respect and dignity right there man.

[@wandereringshadow8658]

The fact that the CEO actually seems to be making an active effort to understand the job and work it is honestly refreshing. Granted, most seem to "try", but this dude actually seems like he has a genuine desire to try and understand what his employes go through.

It's staged. Real life employers are motivated to pay less than what their workers are worth because that's how revenue is generated. If a company normally operated like the one in the video, it would go out of business in a hurry.

wish we had more bosses like this. i had my CEOs "right hand man" stop by my shop last week. we had been going through changes in our shop. long story short, he stopped by my department and we discussed the pros and cons of the changes. and on friday i was fired... for giving my opinion... gotta love the average work experience...

Sorry man. 😔

[@akirafan28]

I'm sorry! 😔

[@Tmb1112]

Maybe- and don’t think I’m attacking you- you didn’t understand the real purpose of that conversation. The way you describe it that “we had been going through changes in our shop,” then the boss’s Number 2 shows up and you “discussed the pros and cons of the changes,” sounds a lot like you misunderstood what was happening. Changes were being made. It wasn’t a discussion they wanted. They came to tell you how things were changing and what the benefits were, and that turned into an apparent discussion of pros and cons, which means you were disagreeing with the direction they planned to take the company in. Or it was the other way and you were carrying out changes that they saw cons in but you argued for the pros. Either way, it sounds a lot like they sent the boss’s right hand man over to make sure you were on board, and you “gave your opinion.” Sorry, but when you’re not in charge sometimes that’s not what they’re looking for. They want an employee, not a business partner. Every employee’s opinion on how the business should be run isn’t that important. If they get let go over it, it probably wasn’t the first time an “opinion” was being shared that your bosses were not happy with. Sometimes, just saying, you have to do what your boss asks without talking back to them.

[@jayjonah2762]

@@Tmb1112 he asked for our opinions on the changes. and the reality of it was he wanted us to keep between 800-1000 of our products packaged and ready to ship. they are not small products, a pallet would hold 22-30 of them and you can't stack the pallets. the storage area we were given to store those products would only hold about 15 pallets, and was shared with another department. that was the only CON I had mentioned. I wasn't arguing with anything, the only thing I stated was we needed more storage space to keep the number on hand that was desired. And if you're a boss, and you don't want to actually know peoples opinions, then don't ask. I love the company that I had been working for, it was fantastic. The bigger company that bought it was your typical corporate crap everyone has to put up with. Owner promised everyone raises, no one got them, promised stock incentive, never given out, straight up lying to employees. Even made the claim "if you work here for more than ten years I'll make you a millionaire". It is what it is and I'm happier now that I don't have to deal with it. And to the point you were making, yes I know, most bosses just want "yes" men that don't ever question them.
