Undercover Boss Starts Scholarship Fund In Honor Of Hardworking Brothers 

Yes, they were fun to worked with them. To me they were done wrong.

Let's just hope its not wasted tears, how many of these boss's end up doing this just for publicity, without the tv show nearby they could be drastically different towards their "peons".

Agreed. I believe in the American dream. I'm not even at my peak , but I'm doing pretty well. The sky is the limit. All we have to do, is literally go and get it!.

Work in corporate of a power delivery company and have nothing but love and respect for you guys. You are why we make money.

I worked with these two. What happened not soon after wasn't great. They were fired. Now Mastec was good to me. I stayed a few years more. Then had to retire because I couldn't do the work no more, 2011. Not soon after this they lost Centurylink contract (in 2010). This was filmed between 2005 and 2009. They got fired not to long after this was aired.

Both end of the cables that was being terminated where floating on a pad with no transformer; isolated from any potential source.

Sorry to hear that. Thanks for sharing

Then why you watching the show that's the whole point just saying 🤷

@@rosiesalinas978 i’m watching it just to annoy you

I mean they can but let it be televised and hopefully more bosses see it and get inspired to be better.

@@skylarjaxx2399 fat chance

@Skylar Jaxx inspire them to be generous when everyone is watching

Do you know why they were fired

@@GoodEveningWeAreBLAST yes, what I was told they did something that was according to safety protocol. Mastec was about safety first. Working around electric, cable tv, and phone lines, it was about safety. I drove cable trucks with heavy equipment. We would inspect our trucks in the morning then go through another inspection, before we left the yard. Then, the same, in the evening, before we get off of work. Safety man would come by our job and inspect our job site and truck, about twice a month. Make sure we had signs and cones out right. Our equipment had to be clean of dirt or trash. Or we would have 3 days off, without pay. I worked one time until 3 am and left my truck and backhoe at the wash area. So, I could go home and get a shower and sleep and be back by 7 am. Then, wash it and leave to go out again. The safety man came around 6 am, from Tampa. Saw my backhoe was dirty, set there. I came in and had to wash it and then had 3 days off without pay. He didn't want to hear that I worked all day before, then worked most of the night, working on cut telephone cable. What we were told they did something around electric lines, that wasn't safe. Believe it had to do with wearing electrical gloves around power box. Which is a big no no. We already had one guy got electrocuted and was disabled the rest of his life and another that died, within two months. Thing is, they do for a few, but the rest they don't do for. One thing about this program, they do for people on the show, but never for the rest of the workers. That was the owner and I never seen him. The whole time, when they bought Burnup&Sims (which we worked for) until I left. These two brothers wasn't with the company very long. I wouldn't work in the electric division of the company. I stayed in the phone line division. People wasn't trained at first. I wasn't trained. I would run pipe up to the electric box and stop. I would not touch it. I wasn't trained enough. Many of us wasn't.

SO DO YOU THINK THEY WERE FIRED, BECAUSE OWNER DIDN'T WANT TO HOLD UP HIS PROMISE TO THEM. AFTER THE SHOW ENDED. HOW SOON AFTER SHOW, THAT THEY WERE FIRED ? CAPS BAD EYESIGHT

Benda. I believe they was fired not to long after. I left in 2010, to Sanford, Florida to work for them there. I believe it was within six months, if not sooner. I know I didn't like it and many of other didn't like, neither. They was good people. Fun to be around. We would joke around with each other. Me being a preacher, they gave me a lots of respect. In that company's yard, it was a very great place to work. We knew each other. Even the local bosses. I believe Mr. Mas. came one day in a helicopter, landed at a company near by. He addressed us in one of our Tuesday morning safety meeting. That was the only time we seen him. We did here that Mr Mas or his father was supposed to be leader of Cuba. They lived in Miami.

Yeah, just fuck with their employment history on a whim because your "a good guy." There's a reason you will never be boss of anyone.

@@smolpener7430 There's a reason no one invites you to parties.

😂😂😂

Yes. They were fired not long after this. The yard manager had talked to me, about me being on the program. He was pushing me to be on the show. I real didn't want to be on it. I've already been in the local news and papers, doing my job. I didn't want the national tv. Plus, I was doing radio broadcasting at night and week ends, for a local radio.

@@azryahlorenz9647 Wow, that's crazy! I think you made the right choice

Bcos that's what he chose! These brothers are Hispanic, so he's setting up a tradition to keep helping other hispanic kids who otherwise wouldn't have the chance. There's lots of help out there for everyone else too

The rest of us that worked with them and been there longer, got nothing. I worked with these two and they deserved it. The rest of us got nothing. Yet, they got fired not soon after.

Agreed, I'm not hating on the gesture and the benevolent act. It may help someone's life which is good. It is however racist (bigoted as Hispanic is not a race technically)to exclude people solely by race clarification. To illustrate , if a pale boss had said to 2 pale employees. "I'm giving you 25k to give to any white kid" that would scream racism in most everyone's world. What's the difference? Are Hispanics viewed so poorly by some that this doesn't even cross their minds to be racist by excluding others based on race?

Exactly

@@masterq2.033 Yea, but all white kids are born rich and don't need help.

No it's not! There's plenty of scholarships, grants, etc for everyone in every niche quit bitching about something that is t an issue

@@masterq2.033 you overlook the fact that we, as white ppl have a leg up in every area of life, just by the fact of being born white! He's helping these kids because they remind him of his family's imigrant story! So he wants to keep that going. There are plenty more scholarships for white ppl trust me
