Undercover Boss - Beck Taxi S3 E4 (Canadian TV series) 

Maybe the have great perks, like profit sharing? 🤷‍♀️ just a thought...

Every mechanic spends money on their own tools its standard practice

Exactly 💯

And the driver who was given $10K towards a hybrid vehicle should have been to purchase whatever he wanted with the money

My deepest, deepest condolences to you and your family! May your father rest in peace!

Agreed 100%

Looked to me like The whole shop needed to be modernized

00000000

@@sheristewart3940 I thought that they were going to pay for advanced classes to keep up...

From a business perspective Brian is a single point of failure. If he ever goes, the tools go too! Be nice to Brian😁

Me neither my whit3 cars sooooodirty 🐳💨

@bryn mitchell same I was like get real lady 😂🤣

Even worse was when she said she didn't realize how hard mechanic work is lady get in the real world and take off the blinders and rose tinted glasses

REALLY? I hope you can find a support group in your neighborhood, you need help!!

I find it vastly more difficult to lift and line up the tire onto the studs when its just a foot or two off the ground...way easier to lift to my waist and bump it into place.

they are so fake

Because it isn't coming out of their pockets! I drove for ten years, 12 hrs a day. When the company gets basically a 70/30 split, you're not keeping drivers for too long.

Too bad, we do not get to see what her brother, her cousins, & all the rest of the family would have done for the business, as Gail Souter took the business for herself, & kicked them all out.

Why oh because they dont actually care. All this show was made to make them look good. I wasent fooled one bit.

Maybe because nobody thought of it? Maybe becsuse there's some silly regulation against it? They don't HAVE to be evil and uncaring because they're the owners.

@@wyntermackenzie4952Naw hes right I can completely tell by the way they talk these mfers are fake as fuck.

i personally think that is much less friendly to the customers, makes you feel like you're in the back of a cop car.

a lot of companies only care about profit

Omg I'm binge watching this too

Omg they arent compassionate at all. They dont give a fuck at all. They only wanted to be on tv. Come on how can you say that with a straight face. Tbey did it all for the wrong resons. 5k in tools is like a slap in the face.

@@fufnerkeywheel1329 and $10K towards a hybrid. He didn't get anything for himself

You need to watch the Mary Browns chicken episode. CEO buys a guy a house.

Some mechanics prefer their own. Why, I'm not sure 🤷‍♀️

check out the undercover boss episode from New York and Company

Of course! Majority of the companies don't give a flying F about their employees!

well employees are critical of the companies often. you old sour puss.

same here lol

me too :D

Kraft Punk me too!!!😂🤣😂🤣

2019----same

ya he was my favorite

They should stick to ladies chores

Shut the fuck up you fucking loser.

I always thought the bosses were a little cheap myself

"Socialism only works until you run out of other people's money." Margret Thatcher. Take those words to heart. People are always more generous when it's not thier own money being spent. Now, if I wanted to improve the business, while assisting those who showed such excellence, I would suggest an assistant for the mechanic, to help reduce his load, and do the simple tasks, who could also learn the trade. This would also allow for sick days, and free up the mechanic for the more complicated tasks that every mechanic must do. It would truly suck to have to stop work under a car, to run out and check fluids on several cars in the rain, a job any trainee could do.

And given the mechanic a couple of assistance. Too much work for one person.

but most of the drivers are not employees, they are self employed businesses paying commission to Beck.

Tony is the 💣bombman

I doubt he's the only mechanic on duty! lol!

Disgusting? Who the fuck are you to expect another person to give you their money. Go get a job and shut the fuck up, you fucking welfare class are fucking pathetic.

@@WhiteSupreme wow you sure are classy.

that's all taxi places non hold the costs, if u wanted to drive for green and white in my city you gotta pay 600 a week for the vechile. and even more for a van

also ur right, it would cost a lot but 10k plus what he will get for that impala he has now, a decent portion will be payed off and its not like hes getting the top of the line version of the car, u could tell he was driving a lt version of the impala. not the ss so its gonna be a lot cheaper then u think.

because they would be the only company doing that, which makes it feel in personal and that ur riding in a dangerous vechile where shady ass shit goes down so he has to protect himself from u. if no other companies are doing it, I cant imagine they wouldn't want to

😂🤣IKR

He can buy plenty of 10 mm wrenches and sockets....lol

That's the only moment I was waiting for..and it's frustrating 🤦🏻‍♀️😅

Y not give him 5000 as a bonus?

Y not give him 5000 as a bonus?

Wow! Someone didn't watch the full episode! Guy spends over $70k on equipment for the company... Receives $5,000 for new tools your telling me that what they did was correct? They stole this guys money he obviously has a mental disability given the fact that he spent over 70 grand on equipment for the company he's literally working for free at this point this is technically slavery "But we want to do something for you here's $5,000 to put back into the company" They take advantage of their employees with mental disability that's where i draw the line on them and don't tell me he doesn't just look at him and what sane person would donate 70k to their work and then proceed to work for free until they pay off the debt NOBODY!

Brokengamezone as I said in my comment everyone has a right to a opinion. Which I totally respect and FYI I did see the full eposide and if you heard and for what I understand this mechanic is doing a job for the taxi company. And yes for many years perhaps the owner says she can see that if it wasn't for the help she receives from the people that love thier jobs the taxis wouldn't be a sucess. So to my understanding this mechanic gives the company a service as a garage not of the company. So to me 5,000 is pretty good maybe not as much as he has spent but helps.

I saw that episode

The Canadian bosses are very conservative with how much they give away compared to the US bosses.

You know, I have the opposite reaction. I've watched a couple of the US shows, and I can't stand the gratuitous displays of generosity. As someone who has lived hand-to-mouth and on/below the poverty line much of my life, who's been on the receiving end of some wonderful generosity from wealthy people in my community, I can say that 1,000-10,000 is a godsend, and will make a massive difference in the life of a struggling employee. If you make the gift any larger than that, it's like winning the lottery -- and the vast majority of lottery winners are back to the same income or even below just a year after they win. That much money can mess with someone's life: they aren't used to dealing with that kind of money. It also removes a lot of the satisfaction people have of accomplishing something themselves. Rich people have to be very, very careful when they give money, to make sure that their money will not harm the recipients, and to show respect for the dignity of the people whom they're giving to. For instance, giving people a sum to kickstart retirement or kids' college could be a real incentive for them to do more with it, but saying "I'll pay for all your kids' colleges" (as I've seen in the US show) removes not only the incentive for those people to take action themselves, but also removes the confidence that one is able to provide for one's kids. I can't stand the attitudes of the US shows, as if throwing massive amounts of money around is going to help people: it's all about what makes good TV instead of about what actually helps the individuals. It's disrespectful, and the attention-seeking of it takes away a lot of the true joy of the generosity, both in giving and receiving. I really believe in the Canadian and UK versions that the carefully given money will work wonders in their employee's lives. In the US versions, which seem to be more about showing off and doing something shocking than about really looking at the needs of the employees, I think it's more likely that the employees won't know what to do with that much money, or will be left feeling a bit empty, like all the satisfaction got taken out of what should've been a nice gift. It will also breed serious amounts of discontent among other employees, who will wonder why they're working so hard if their boss can throw money around that way, and make them wonder why only one of them got singled out randomly for a new house, when there might have been 25 of them for whom 10,000 would have been a life changer.

all city driving companies have bad apples bro and mess the company and good drivers reputations

R A it seems like you don't know or care about the real definition of Autism, makes me disappointed to see that.

You've just described every single person whether in a work setting or not. There are some good and some bad.

For the safety

The tite specifically says CANADA. They have their own flag. IF this had been filmed in USA, the guy would've probably gotten 100,000 dollars or more. Plus a paid vacation.

😂 Same here.

hope uber fucks them right up !

i dunno, uber isnt in my city,(winnipeg, mb, canada) something to do with our bylaws. we also have had "saferides" (rideshares) here way b4 uber was a thing. a bunch of our local indigenous women felt like we were being unfairly targeted and sexually harassed by a local taxi drivers in a particular part of the city, ontop of the murdered and missing indigenous women crisis here in canada, So in response we started a grassroots version online in fb groups called saferides which were for women and children only to begin with early on. then it grew to other groups which accepted men and so forth. once it caught on ppl started complaining about stupid things like why not men, and stuff like how do we know if theyre a safe driver etc. basically it was all these snowflake complainers that brought our underground saferide movement to the attention of the government, then our city ended up creating lame bylaws such as you need to change ur license, pay a fee, agree to drive during specific hours etc. totally ruined why we started it to begin with. and this was way b4 uber was even a thing yet and never did come to my city bc they dont want to fallow our bylaws, which i totally understand why. so it was all you permit patty's and bbq betty's that ruined rideshare for my city.

If it is like in Europe, it mostly means the drivers have to make more hours, due to Uber taking 30% of each fare, where before you pocketed that yourself. Also, peak times are rare, slow times are plenty. On peak times, customers complain a lot, on slow times, they have no respect for you or your car, since they can give you a bad rating and help you out of a job in no time, also, they can order a dozen other Ubers in no-time. It is killing the fun for drivers, but is also driving the professionals out of the business.

so?

to be 1000 percent honest with you, that's very common that mechanics buy there own tools for the shop there working at, its very very common for them to buy there own tools, now somplaces give there mechanics like 500 a year to spend on tools and only tools but mostly its up to the mechanic, but then again that's why lots of shops are 90 plus a hour in labor

$10,000.00 for new tools and $5,000.00 for him to spend on whatever wanted.. I’m sure he very happy with that..jmo

@@soulsreaper7145 ya when the matco or snap on tool truck comes around tempting the guys usually they drool 🤤500 isn't enough and she should of gave him more of a budget too compared to what he has spent and does for them IMO

@@payableondeath9091 I think the one thing that the Canadian UB did not do well is talk about the specific changes the company was going to make based on the feedback. I really like the show, but they just give board room highlights instead of the action plans. So, maybe that's part of the larger scale changes they are making as a company and it just didn't make it to the show because they're more interested in the life stories than the final business changes.

yeah i was kinda thinking like, why is he even having to pay for the tools the company is using on their own cars a daily basis? thats fucked up. is the garage not ownned by the taxi company? or is he the owner of the garage and subcontracted by the taxi company to work on only there cars? and the cars themselves..what is this owner operator thing? does that mean the drivers own their cars? so if they retire or something theyre stuck with these orange n green cars? it sounds like the business is held together by the employees themselves. making the employees pay for everything while theyre just collecting their fees for using the name & taking their calls basically

Carpenter's have to have their own tools why wouldn't a mechanic?

you know nothing about how mechanics lol they buy their own tools, even if you're working for another company

Yes it is kind of pointless, heres a car but it just dont run but there ya go, your welcome

There is TONS of Jobs when you have to supply ALL TOOL'S. PLUS TONS of Jobs now when if you are a Chef you have you supply your OWN KNIFES, AND OTHER THINGS. OH and other Jobs when you Deliver Food it's YOUR CAR AND YOUR GAS.

maybeso maybenot lmao! you too?

Anyone I've known who's worked in a trade (including myself and my husband) has always had their own tools.

They should at least gave him 50,000$

@@velvet6105 Really? You work in a trade, paid hourly rate, and still supply your own tools. Not working for yourself.

No they're not. You should read what Gail Souter did to her own family (regarding Beck Taxi)!!!
