ah yes undercover boss: where people suddenly can't tell they are on a set with lighting and cameras while they introduce the "100% not-weird new employee" to the job
Undercover boss is cool but what if they did the reverse where an employee just became the boss and everyone went along with it. Would be such a good show
Imagine the training-in portion of that. "So uh, I guess none of us really know what the last guy did, he was only really here for 2 or 3 hours a day."
You see I know this is a parody, but at one of the retail jobs I had worked at had a couple days where the district manager would come in to "work" with us. In actuality she was just there to nitpick everyone for every single thing, going so far as to criticize employees for drinking water. The work she did was little if anything, and even when she did attempt to help, it was so poorly done that it ended up hurting our workflow. Big middle finger to you, unnamed district manager ;)
That's too bad the DM was like that. The company I work for our DM works her ass off when she has to come to our store to help. The owner stops by occasionally and I've been running a shift and been short staffed and he hops on the line to help us out during rush. That's one reason why I still work there.
@@ambermarie7531 I used to work at Taco Bell while I was in college, and my experience was similar to yours. When the district manager came in, she worked the store like her life depended on it!
that sucks at my current retail store im in, we would often have the DM visit and immediately start working along with different departments seeing how they move along.
That happens at my job too! The owners of the stores in the area come in like once a week to stand behind us and yell things while “helping” around the store
@@Kano_Productions He used to bring me in his office once a month just to scream at me and tell me I wasn't good enough. I was making the firm thousands of dollars every month and winning 96% of my cases. The whole time I was there I only lost twice. I left for a better job and when I told him about it he cut me off as I was telling him I would give him the customary two weeks so the firm could transition to tell me I could get my things and leave right now if I wanted. I left that day and never looked back. He's so delusional he recently sent me happy holidays text messages in a transparent attempt to get me back to the firm. Yeah that is never gonna happen.
This makes me appreciate Gus from Breaking Bad. Yeah he's a murderous drug dealer. But he also works alongside his employees in his fast food establishment. It sends a good message of humility and equality, good for him.
@@dangerousdays2052 Yeah, good point. But that's one of the only times he was shitty to his non criminal employees. I can't even think of another time.
Before I worked at McDonald’s (for almost 3 years), a friend I knew got fired. The GM wanted the uniform back (his shirt) and my bud did exactly that. He took off the shirt and walked out.
I actually had a job who made me leave my boots after they fired me (they closed my my whole shift). I had been wearing those boots for four months 50+ hours a week in a foundry and were covered in paint. So they were way past the point where someone else would just use them without having serious questions.
One of the things that bothered me most about this show is that the CEOs act like they own the companies and actually employ all the people there - they both work for the same company as employees lol
@@soundrogue4472 Even if they legally have 100% ownership, they still don't pay the employees - the company does. The employees don't work for the owner they work for the company, an owner can easily be replaced but the workforce of a company can't
@@rawrdino7046 Most of the time no, they're another employee that can be fired by the board. They generally own shares in the company, but that type of ownership doesn't mean you can go into a storefront and tell the employees what to do
I've discovered this channel by chance and I am honestly surprised this channel isn't as well known as it should be. The content and comedy is pure gold
Long time fan of the TV network WWG3. First time writer. Just wanna say how much I love the programming on this network they bring such great programming like cupcake interns, and home life makeovers, and who can forget the hit "intro/extro/floppo?" The hit show about an introvert thrown into the crazy world of an average extrovert, who himself is thrown into the mundane Xbox riddled world of introvert Land.
Goddammit, anxiously awaiting the next vid. You guys are honestly one of the best channels on RU-vid. It's been a long time since I've laughed so hard. I literally went back and binged all of your stuff on repeat. Keep up the great work gents. You're all truly hilarious
What about doing this, but nesting dolls. As in, "Undercover CEO, on undercover Boss!" Think about it, the boss goes undercover, then reveals who he is and tries to fire someone, just for that person to actually be an undercover CEO, who reveals who they are, etc
Brandon telling that story about his dog was a stupid thing to do, I guess that just shows how much of an idiot Craig is, he even forgot to leave his shoes behind. Can't believe how poorly the boss was treated.
The fact that the CEO can't even properly operate the front door is 1000% accurate as to the level of actual job comprehension and basic labor skill on the real show. They're always useless as wage workers, and would never survive if they didn't have a salary... 😂😂😂
