Undercover.

23 Sep

Summary: In the television show Undercover Boss the wealthy undercover owner of a company does not realize all the small things that go into his or her business. They do not realize the people that work for him and how much work they put into their jobs. In one particular episode it was the owner of Hooters. He went and worked as a store manager, in the factory and as a waiter. He learned all the ins and outs of his company from the front line of a waiter all the way to the factory where the wings and sauce are shipped all over the world.

Analysis: In all of these episodes it start by telling some statistics of the company and how they have made millions of dollars. It then shows the man or women that will be featured in the episode. But after these two short clips is pans to the person in their large luxurious home where they have everything they need. They never show them cutting the grass or working in a low-income job. In each episode the owner meets three people that are struggling in their life. The owner then realize how much he has and how little attention he pays to all of his staff. I feel as if it is really showing how the low-income jobs really help people even though the money is not great. This is how most of the people in the work would are surviving. Although they are not very powerful in their positions they are still happy to be there. But on the contrary specifically in the Hooters episode the store manager of one store was abusing the girls who worked there. He made them each beans off a plate with no hands in order to leave work early. The under cover boss was appalled and wanted to stop him right away but couldn’t. I think this show really shows how larger companies are run.

Conclusion: Undercover boss shows how little the upper class of a company really knows about their companies.
