Employee Tells Undercover Boss He Wants to be CEO! 

Its too bad leftist policies kills these kinds of dreams and corporations more selfish.

It's usually bad for men to cry. It creates bad mental habits, but this dude earned it. That's sht wasn't for the cameras

@@randysavage1 It’s not bad for anyone to cry. Toxic masculinity is what creates your so called bad mental habits.

@@jasonh6464 A real social government wouldn't have pushed him into the hole he was in in the first place.

Thumps

I’m 40 and still waiting on that 🥹

we all need approval from our true father God we need his approval that's the only approval that truly matters.

@@Jesus_Christ_is_Lord_ Look at comment by Roger BeAR. Ask him what it means not to have have/get his physical father's blessing. I have seen first hand from adults and kids alike what it is never to have been on the end of a father saying "well done son". The damage that does to the individual. I am a Christian and as a lay preacher have given a sermon where I spoke about the effect of not ever having the father's blessing, their physical father. Sure God is our ultimate Father and He does give His blessing, but do not underestimate the damage it does when not received in the Earthly sense. If you are Bobby Ross, then I have read many of your articles in the Chronicle, which I subscribe too. I am a member in Australia.

Damn it. Who is cutting onions in my house!

@@Jesus_Christ_is_Lord_ couldn't have said it any better

Its great to have people who truely love the job! This man loves theme parks so this is his passion. I do have to say, not all jobs are really a passion. I work IT and I like it and all, but its still demanding on me mentally and I wouldnt call it my dream job. It pays the bills and its not physically demanding. But I do believe I have a good wrok ethic and am a valued employee. I have been working at this place for about 4 years, and many people have been hired and sacked. Yet I have never had to fear that. Even when we had to downscale. You make your own value. Be worth employing I believe.

It’s a seems that he was blessed with a good temperament that allowed him to recognize his passion. Clearly he’s inspired by the place and has a passion about it and that is what drives him. Work ethic is not what drives people people you can drive them with a whip and a stick just like a mule skinner might. But you cannot work ethic people into this type of inspiration or passion. It comes from within. If he were in another situation, if he were washing dishes, somewhere in some dank kitchen, and being treated poorly, I can guarantee you he would not have the same passion for his job. It’s clear that the owner of this company is good hearted, and that trickles down. So does a sense of entitlement to workers who give their offer very little. And those are the places that have a lot of turnover, and those are the places that sour people and make them want to open their own business where they can feel good about their day and where they will treat their employees better than they were treated. This owner is so smart as well because he is going to have somebody. He knows he can depend on as he gets older that he can start handing things off to. Mutual dignity and respect goes along way.

Well he is only a sales manager now and never advanced hardly at all after working at that park for 12 years. So in short, corporate politics destroys dreams again

@user-oj7uc8tw9r or that's is where he wants to be now....

Which only makes him more qualified to be in top leadership.

This kid set it up like a pro, he knew what was going on..

@@wayneguy6043 "if you wouldn't mind looking at them" gave it away

He understood the assignment.

Yeah, this is nice and wholesome and all but that kid knew something was up. Either the show is staged af or he figured out pretty quickly he was on undercover boss. Maybe the cameras gave it away.

He still did have the designs on hand

100%

He played the game really well

yeah thats true, but also the boss just happened to be put with him on the job, meaning he was always that person before hand and people thought he deserved to be rewarded,

Yeah this episode was unfortunately fake in a lot of ways

YEP. I have only seen three or four of these but they seem to be about 75% fake 25% real events and interactions. That's not really a bad thing. It's Reality TV afterall. VERY FEW shows are real. Dats the biz.... Forgot to ad the "feel goods" are usually real and that CEO is DA MAN! Good chance he is talking to his successor. LOL

"It’s refreshing to see a young man with a real work ethic and drive to contribute." What world are you living it? Go and touch grass, this isn't uncommon at all.

You also sound like a baby.

What the hell is goig on with you? "I cried like a baby". What the crap?

​@@knightofcydonia1192 why would that make it not feel refreshing to see it?

@@PathFind13 Because more and more people are getting all up in their nostalgia goggles and claiming things like "people don't do X anymore" or "people aren't Y anymore". Implying that the past was somehow so much better than the present we take for granted.

I threw myself into my work, and got nothing but criticism from people who didn't even understand what I did and why its important. It honestly threw me into depression and I eventually quit because it was either that or killing myself, like that's how bad the job was. They attempted to hire someone in company to do my job, but they all declined to do it even with significant raises because they saw how they treated me in that job. They had to hire 3 outside hires to replace me. So this video makes me cry that a work environment could be like that and being rewarded for passion.

@@Godtickles work is never worth more than your life, always remember that. I hope you find peace & satisfaction somewhere you can truly be appreciated 💪

Yes, he wil probably open his own park..

Facts!

Sure! ❤

The shareholders boot him out and let him take his place 🤣🤣🤣

He won't. Someone who stays in basically the same job for six years doesn't have the qualities to be a CEO

it basically impossible for them to get him to fake those emotions he showed at the end.

@@rylanbrownlee8614 Right. The show is filmed from end to beginning. 😅

Yeah, it's a sad truth that every show on television is staged, scripted and edited in some way to get the outcome they want. Those did look like genuine emotions at the end so I'm also going to assume this is mostly true as well.

Exactly

@@TheTruthKiwi Lived in Branson where SDC is my whole life, another Herschend property was my first job few years after this was filmed in 2011, can't tell you how much was rigged, but the creation of the scholarship fund after this was 100% real

I work with him at a car dealership now.

@@jongilbert363 what happened to him. Thought he has a passion for the park industry

​@@jongilbert363 what happened with him and the theme park?

200%%%%%

Yeah lmfao

🤣

Its like the SNL skit when "no one" knew Darth Vader was undercover

When this was being filmed none of the show had been aired so there is no way he would have known lol

🙏🙏

Unfortunately he was found dead

@@wileecoyote5749, this is extremely say. Why, how? I don’t believe it.

Kid? He’s going bald though?

What?

@aola wili his appreciation was genuine

Right!!!! now I got sunscreen in my eyes 😢

Me too.

I would argue the opposite. This guy's dad was my woodshop teacher in high school and had the exact same passion and heart. 15 years later, I still hold him as one of my greatest mentors.

When you have an idea that you want to put down and you don't have a $10,000 PC rig, let alone the training or time to do the CAD work, you as an engineer make do.

The great irony is that Joel Manby then went on to become the CEO of SeaWorld for a few years, run it into the ground, have several rounds of layoffs then leave with $21 million in stock options. Thanks Joel!

Chicken and the egg scenario. Could be the result that so many employers over the years have given zero fucks for their employees. Unions formed for a reason

@@al73r hard to say, think social media has something to do with it as well, because seeing these influencers, streamers, etc having so much by doing so little sets something off in a lot of people.

Can tell you've never worked for cooperate. You think companies give 2 fucks about you as an employee? You're replaceable. Expendable. 8 hours later they've replaced you.

The reason there are RU-vidrs and influencers is directly related to the poor treatment. People are getting and lack of dignity and respect at most jobs. This young man was motivated by love of his family, at a sense of duty towards them, and a love for that particular place and a passion for that type of industry. It was a confluence of things. Human beings need a sense of purpose, and they also require dignity and respect. To say that people these days don’t wanna work is total BS. People want to live. They don’t wanna live to work then just be discarded when the bottom line for shareholders isn’t being met. Then you toss out the BS work ethic line. That’s just the carrot and stick. When you take somebody who has a good attitude and is excited about going to a job and then finds out within days or weeks that all of the excitement and enthusiasm has now been dampened by poor treatment and disrespect. This is what you get employees that don’t wanna come back.

Maybe! But it's a happy outcome :)

My thoughts exactly.. nobody randomly starts showing design plans for new rides an explaining he wants to run the place etc to a nobody whos on a trial that might never even come back for a second day... but oh well it worked out how they both wanted lol

@@RoniTosun its all soppy bull and all staged and nons of it worth watching

​@Martyn channel I worked at a bar that was on bar rescue, I can confirm, something that can't be staged (like actual health code violations) is real. The drama though? All staged

It’s a tv show people. There is a script!

Makin’ lemonade if you ask me

It isn't scripted.. Employees are literally told a new employee would be joining them for a documentary (hence the camera crew) .. They aren't told its for Undercover Boss til they are brought in to the boss' office..

Seems awfully suspicious

I mean anytime a guy comes on and says he has a camera crew just hanging around for a documentary, you would have to be stupid not to think it could be an undercover boss. Just on the chance it was, you would act completely on your game and you would blow steam up the companys ass and plead your hardship case, so they would know what to give you.

He knows the CEO so we'll, of course he would spot him.... Also, the film crew following him around? That just screams "this is the undercover boss show"

I worked for this same company. I worked on the boat not the park. After you are hired there are classes you take on the history of the company, you are given a book written about the founders and current people in charge and are expected to know this information. It’s a fantastic company. So, yes he should have known without hesitation who the current CEO is otherwise he’s not doing his job properly! The Herschend family are a fantastic group of people to work for. Maybe you should look them up. Too many people just assume things these days! 🤦🏼‍♀️

@@tammieneeley7848 Yeah exactly, thats why he would have known it was an undercover boss show.

Yes, the owner should only make a pittance salary and everybody paid equally to enjoy a luxurious life

❤❤❤❤❤❤

😂😂😂

It doesn’t matter. Of course he knew. He showed designs 😂
