ABOUT THE TV..CHECK THIS OUT..
I was watching this show last night called "UNDERCOVER BOSS" on CBS and I was enlightened about how inspirational it was. They take bosses of big corporations and they go undercover and become entry level workers for a week and they go to sites in different areas. The episode yesterday was about the COO of Waste Management and he was able to meet the very people that keep his business going and how people are affected by the different protocols that he has put into place and he also got to see the things that managers did that he was not awhere of. Through doing this he was able to see how hard the job was and one of the jobs he was let go (fired) by one of the guys because he just didnt "cut it" and this guy who did the job had been dealing with dialasis for 19 years and he could do more than him. But anywho to make a long story short he was inspired by all the people that he worked with and he was able to change things, he promoted people, he also gave the man dealing with dialasis time off to talk to people and he also became a mentor for those dealing with health issues in the company, he created a position for one of the guys to come and tal to people about making this hard "nasty" job fun and exciting. It really made me see that the tv isn't so bad but at the same time we still have a ways to go but this really made me smile and I wanted to share it with you guys..thank you.I hope it enlightens you too..

I saw the commercials for that it looked good, I can say working 3 summers working for waist management and other dumpster companies as a privet contractor. That a lot of the older guys embrace the dirty hard work and wouldn’t want to do anything else. The people that have been doing the dirty jobs for a long time look down there noses at people that can't or don't want to do that kind of work.
ReplyDeleteThis show sounds really good to watch, and it is good to see that t.v. has something worth watching on. I will check out this show next time I get a chance.
ReplyDeleteI saw this show. It was pretty enlightening. Encouraged to know that a CEO would really care to find out what's going on at the "ground" or "person" level of his company. The next one is a CEO of Hooters I think. That one should be pretty, "revealing"...no pun intended...well...maybe pun intended.
ReplyDeleteyeah i saw the show too and im sure it was crazy for the ceo to see what was going on under the hood of the company, because he runs it but he never takes the time to look at what theyre doing or how theyre treated or what theyre opinions are.
ReplyDeleteThis is funny because CEO's are so overwhelmed with running the company and dealing with competitors that they completely forget about what they are fighting for.
