The irony that the boss went undercover to see if there was a way to increase production, but he wasn't even able to keep up with the current standard he set.
Thats not his job.. that's why he's paying his employees to do
That may be true yet this just proves that any new employees would face similar issues
@@jimmydeewilliams6489 Kinda think a boss should be able to do kinda what the employees do.
Thats not irony, that's hypocrisy!
@@martinkuliza simple common sense
"I'm going undercover to figure out how to increase efficiency"
Two hours later: fired for being inefficient. 🤣
WELL HAHA HE WASNT FIRED, NOR WAS HE INEFFICIENT, AS HE WAS UNTRAINED
HE DISCOVERED THAT THIS FACILITY NEEDS BETTER TRAINING....
DIDNT YOU WATCH THE WHOLE EPISODE?
He should quit his job...
@@UNABRIDGED_SCIENCE No I can't find the clips
@@UNABRIDGED_SCIENCE Take off the caps lock what is wrong with you? Try again.
…aaaand here’s another comment from someone who has no idea what a CEO is or does.
lol doing a box every 40 seconds - that's some soul killing work lol its amazing that that woman can be so cheery in the job she and the employees like her deserve a lot more than they get that's for sure
She's probably cheery because there are cameras but in reality she hates her job
@SoraXGirl true dat...hey wanna date?
@@istartedajoke1704 👍🏼
I did something similar some years ago. When you do repetitive work very fast, you almost get high, it's like meditation. Either that or it was the surrounding air that was saturated with solvents and other chemicals... uh... where was I?
Ah, yes: keep your fingers off my booze!
@@istartedajoke1704 Pathetic
Glad to see these bosses actually have to deal with the consequences of their decisions.
But they don't though.
"Ohh well, got fired from my fake job. Back to my multi million dollar mansion on the other side of the country."
@@monkeymode5652that choice has consequences too, just different ones.
not really , you wouldn't get fired from 3 hours off work and not hitting targets my company offer 6 weeks before you get fired but they have to see improvement , some people are not cut out for picking and packing lines , some are
@King Skyline I agree. I don't think he went into the job trying to exceed expectations. I think he made those failures on purpose to see if they'd find them or just let them go. I think the company should have given him a longer time frame to improve his speed on packing. There should have been a verbal warning, then a written warning, and then dismissal. But it's America, and I live in the UK. Also, warehouses have different rules to dismissal...I think!
What consequence? I’m sure this boss is absolutely thrilled by what he found. His line seems very efficient. His employees love their jobs and say it’s a good company to work for, and the supervisor cuts dead weight fast and doesn’t let poor performers slip through the cracks. I’m sure he was absolutely ecstatic later on the conference call with the board.
I worked at a factory. When you reached a goal, they would raise it. If you hurt yourself they made you think it was your fault because YOU were going too fast! Factory work is not for "the faint of heart!"
I worked in a plastic plant when I was 20, all most running the whole 12 hour shift, short handed every shift and they got mad if you would not work overtime to cover the next shift.
Wow you must have worked for UPS
I'd tell them to fuck off xD
That's like my plant. They want you to hurry and then they turn around and say don't rush.....
I tried factory work about 30 years ago when I was in my 20s. I lasted a week. Was on a production line.
I love how everyone is like the guy that fired Gary should be fired for not being understanding. When Gary is the one that set the impossible greedy standards in the first place isn’t that right gary
You are 100% correct.
Impossible greedy standards? Everyone else could do it. It isn't impossible for them.
"It's all about getting a little rythm, that's all it is. I love it here!"
I can tell you have never worked a job like this before nor any job where a manager is your "boss" Manager's make their own rules and their own standards.
And he was doing this to figure out how to do it faster, greedy bastards
The reason why I decided to try my hand at self employment is because I got sick and tired of workplace tyranny like this. I flat out wasn't being paid enough be treated the way they treated me. Its worked out very well for me and Im happier than I've ever been.
Just curious. Are you now unemployed? As in... self employeed to unemployment? what job did you take on after you left.
@@tomavery1178 Im actually in the process of securing a loan for my own brick and mortar business. Things are going better than I could've ever imagined!
@@MattyIcecubes hey im happy to hear that! I didnt mean to come off as rude if that sounded. But thats great! Have a nice night! (Genuine about that)
That boss really gave the dude 20 minutes to learn how to do it as fast as people who’ve been doing it for years
You just have to start it on one side and stretch it all the way out without it touching the top, and then force it down in one motion. The last time I moved, I got into the right rhythm pretty quick. Some workers will pick this stuff up super quick, under an hour. Other people will struggle all day. Those are the people who will continue to struggle no matter what, although not to the same degree.
He asked for improvements by the hour and the position was seasonal. Super important that they don't spend too much time on one employee. Also hilarious that if that's a problem, the guy getting fired is responsible for that culture.
The fact that he was fired after only one day is astounding. You can't expect a new person to be perfect, especially on their first day. Just says a lot about the company itself in my mind
The ones that don't get fired do just fine on their first day. There are plenty of good people out there who can do the job and then there are those who can't. The company weeds out the failures fast. That's just being smart. The ones who aren't fast enough need to find jobs where they can be slow.
@@garyh4458 Not everyone works fast straight away. I'm a bit of a slow learner (doesn't mean stupid btw). Once I get the hang of things, I become better than the ones who started out fast. So is it really smart? It's just impatient. I would never work for this place anyway. I can and am doing much better.
@@AML147 What's your point? You would be fired from this job in favor of someone who wants and can do the job. I also wouldn't take the job but there are plenty of people who will and can do the job just fine.
ITS NOT REAL DUDE. SHOW IS FAKE
@@garyh4458 My point was pretty obvious. It's stupid to be fired for one day of work. At least a week, unless there's no improvement whatsoever each day. I could see a 2nd day firing if there's no improvement from the 1st day.
As someone who works at an amazon fulfillment warehouse, even we let our new people have a grace people of at least a month to be consistently hitting rate, my crew personally never expects anyone to be hitting rate their first day at all
Amazon management is garbage
@@dustinstone2766 being there 6 months, that was a breeze bro i would constantly miss the amount i had to do per hour, i would mess up and scan the wrong barcode so many time, and they never once fired or suspended me. if you fuck up on *amazon* of all places you're deadass not suited for any work 💀
@@ethan-es3cw you're lucky because they got me for their own issues and trainers said I was good
Amazons the worst
Fedex gives you 15 days. First day is absurd
Disgusting how unnaturally fast and hard they make us work for a job that barely pays the rent, never mind food, insurance, clothes, car insurance etc. we wage slaves need to let these corporations know who runs them.
Alot of things are outdated the minute wage was never supposed to be a standard of living it was never meant to to actually pay all those things it's impossible. It's more so meant for younger folks who earn throw away money until they can get to a better job that can pay for most of those things but still not all from there you move up to an even better job that can pay for all of those things and have some left over.
@@TuffleG Stop licking corporate boots.
@@TuffleG No you are dead wrong and it's outrageous when people try to push that lie. Minimum wage legislation emerged at the end of the nineteenth century from the desire to end sweated labor which had developed in the wake of industrialization. Sweatshops employed large numbers of women and young workers, paying them what were considered nonliving wages that did not allow workers to afford the necessaries of life. Besides substandard wages, sweating was also associated with long work hours and unsanitary and unsafe work conditions.
@@TuffleG Except you're wrong
FDR literally and explicitly said the opposite...
God damn...
There will never be a living wage until inflation is ended.
This is exactly how it felt working for Amazon as a temp. Almost every shift some stranger was walking up to me with a sheet of paper nitpicking at my pace and I was only 2 weeks into working there. After 3 months I left. It just felt ridiculous. I’ll never work these type of jobs again
Same here. I used to work for Shasta beverage company as a temp. They had me in the lines putting the different type of sodas in one tray that they can be shipped. I got bullied on my first day because I wasn’t going fast enough and I understand that I had to go fast and reach the numbers I was trying to keep up with everyone who has been longer then me. From each passing day it got harder and harder for me to work with the other temp’s because they think that they are the bosses and real employees of the company. I only accepted the job because I needed money and they were paying me good. Like i said I was getting tired of working with them with the constant bullying and hostile work environment from the assistant managers everyday. When I complained to him about the bullying they didn’t even fire the people but just had us sit in in a room together and talk about the problems that we had. Then one day when we tempts had to poor out the bad and expired soda we had to take off the bottle caps and poor them down the drain. But my hands was starting to get hurt and when I took off my gloves . Then I had blisters and they were some blood from twisting the bottle caps. Then I tried to take a short break from twisting because I was dealing with some pain in my hand and then guys said to me “aren’t you gonna help or just stand there” so when he said they I got mad in my head and then I showed the guy next to me my hands on why I stopped for a bit because of my hands and the guys understand why I couldn’t. So they let it slide unlike the other guy. Then fast forward on my last day the same temp guy who had a fit with me with the soda bottles me and him were put right next to each other on the line to put the sodas in the trays. So the guy he was complaining that I was trying to make it hard for me to put his spas in the trays but I didn’t see an issue because I was putting my case of soda that was much easier for me to be faster but he didn’t like that. I tried to explain to me “so what that is your problem not mine” then he got pissed off and I can tell he was a hot head. On the last straw he got me so mad that I decided to punch him with the soda cans and luckily there was a barrier between me and him and the soda exploded right in his face 😂 haha. Right there I got calmed and I had a feeling it was my last day. So one of the temps from a different temp agency who also bullied me tried to calm both of us down. Then we talked to the lead and then the lead talked to one of the assistant managers and then the assistant manager came out to talk to me without hearing my side and told me to go but I tried to explain to the manager but this is my last opportunity for this agency and if you could only hear my side of the story on what has been going on, but nope he wanted me out and then I said some bad words to him and then the manager wanted to fight me because I said to him “fuck you colonizer” because I was frustrated at this point that he didn’t want to hear my side like all of my formal bosses in the temps agencies. So I know what I had to do and not fight him and then I ran up to the stairs and to get my bag and run as fast as I can to get out of there that I can get to my car and drive back home. My lesson was from this is to never apply for a temp agency ever again because people are cruel to me and not cruel to others when I’m trying to make a living and make
Some money.
The job was an 8 hour shift Monday-Friday 1pm-9:30pm but my shift they wanted us to stay over time because we weren’t hitting the numbers of pallets that we are supposed to hit by the end of the shift. Some days I didn’t stay over time because I didn’t want to be around them.
@@SSJoe13 why'd you call him a coloniser you racist jerk.
I worked at Amazon in the UK for two weeks. I left because the supervisor spoke to me like dog shit over a toilet break. It's not OK to have every aspect of your work micro managed and a sure way to lose quality employees (not that people who stay in such places aren't quality themselves).
@@Paul_Ward Next time document that & report it. Then piss yourself on the workroom floor & sue.
No new person should be expected to be as fast as a seasoned professional packer.
that is why when u see a-hole like that get their butt kick on the street i usually just smile , (learn how to fight ,lol)
Yep, figured there would be some sort of training period to at least do the job properly then build speed.
@@leebest1a470 Guess the Manager doesn't believe in that or that standard was set for him. He missed out on some good employees because of it. Now the undercover boss knows how hard the job is, his expectations are not realistic. If he can't keep up how can he expect others too.
He wasn’t expected to do 150 an hour though. He was expected to show gradual improvement over an entire day of work, which he failed to do.
@@nws6146 If you can walk into a job and start the boxing process and be letter perefect ... Great. However to expect someone to do 150 perfectly an hour their 1st day is not realistic. It looked like he was told before lunch he was fired.
This just shows how bad employees are being treated by our employers all across the country...
AKA why most people hate their jobs..
What is even worse , years ago if you did a good job you would get promoted .Today they give you more work to do .
I totally agree ! Some companies lose potentially great employees because they expect too much in a short time frame and then wonder why they can't get or keep employees .
But the biggest issue I have noticed is companies won't hire enough people to do the jobs .
That's why I hated Urban Outfitters. The job was similar to this company. I was overworked and underpaid. My company made us work 7 days a week, 70 hours. Never gave us days off and violated their contract
@@Jay-vr9ir Yep the more you do, the more they expect you to do the next time without being compensated.
@@batcavebob7983 Exactly! I use to work at the airport years ago in a big city. I was asked in the winter to start coming in at 0400 to standby incase any planes needed to be deiced. I was trained to deice planes, so I had no problem with this. I was told I needed to be standing by in our office at 0400 until 0900 so I could quickly deice any plane that we were responsible for deicing. Alot of mornings I just sit around, no planes needed it. Apparently they took great issue with this, so I was told one morning I would have to go fuel our vehicles all over the airport that took mogas. I was offered no compensation, just told, I had to do this now as well as be on standby to deice. I quit. I would have done it gladly if I would have been paid more. If you want more work, pay me!
A lot more bosses should have to do this . They see a bottom line not what really goes into it .
This makes me feel way better about my job at a pharmaceutical plant. My trainer(s) were super patient with me and broke down everything to where I could understand it easily. I wasn't pressured to reach a certain standard, and was able to get where I am now because of that. And instead of immediately dismissing someone because of their performance issues, I try to work with them and find solutions to problems they might be facing. If even after all that and they still struggle, I suggest to try a different trainer with a different approach to see what works.
THIS SHOW IS NOT REAL DUDE
And?
Sounds like you work for a good company. This company though...?
@UNABRIDGED_SCIENCE if you don't think this happens you're out of your mind lmao
@@midnightdagger21 wdym “and” idiot
My man said he got fired from his own business 😭 this just shows how much higher ups really underestimate those under them
THIS SHOW IS NOT REAL DUDE
HEW DIDNT GET FIRED
DIDNT YOU WATCH THE EPISODE? THEY HIRED NEW TRAINERS TO TRAIN PEOPLE CAUSE THEY WERENT
TRAINING EMPLOYEES
They matched his ass up with the best packer and then took the opportunity to fire the CEO. Bravo.
Looks to me like the owner was exaggerating his ineptitude. (It’s amazing how the lady packs with such speed and dexterity. She is good at training because she’s emphatic. Her attitude and reverence for the company makes her such an asset.)👍🏼
You can tell he's never done manual labor before
Never performed an honest day's work in his life. Orders people around do to shit for him fulltime
This goes to show how terrible these people’s standards are. As if someone is gonna become as good as someone who has been working this job for years. Of course greed blinds you and robs you of any understanding or compassion.
wat u mean 'these people'
@@CowsR4me he means these kinds of people
They didn’t expect him to be as good as her…. She can pack 150 an hour. They expected gradual improvement from him. Also…. He made the standards and even wanted to increase the efficency even more.
She said she can pack far more than the standard was and they didn't expect him to hit it right away. That being said the owner probably never worked in similar job or it was very long ago so he didn't have the required starting base to get on the level as fast enough. That doesn't mean the standards are set high, they are just set for people who are skilled and experienced in similar work already. He was simply fired because they didn't see any potential in him.
@@Sharakad No, its how workers are treated by an out of touch management team.
To fire someone on their first day, and in front of others is flat out disrespectful.
Yet he’s the one that set the standards for how they work lol
Companies don't respect people
Well HE SET those standards. As a supervisor I can say people are usually taken in the office and door closed when being fired.
To be fair, they were in such a mad rush to hit those standards that they barely had time for first time hellos, let alone a long private explanatory firing.
So true . And humiliating ! The manager should have asked him if he could stay and extra 30 minutes after work and have him pack 10 boxes slowly while he watched .
If he can get it right slow , he can get it right a bit faster the next day . An explanation WHY the company is so picky about the way things are packed would have helped too . The newbie definitely looked motivated but perplexed by the speed of action . Fired on the first day sucks
This shit happens all the time. Not even in an industrial setting. I was written up for not finishing stocking at Walmart even though the unloading crew dumped 3 extra pallets in my aisle to stock. I was written up for simply commenting, "What?!" when I was in the Electronics department stocking and they dumped 2 extra pallets in my aisle and told me to pick up the pace. Well, actually the write up might have been for the follow up when I was threatened with a write up I just said, "Wow." Yo! Off to the office! You're being written up! Tried working unloading crew and had these high school kids in there. One pulled a switchblade on me and joked about cutting my arm because he thought it was fucking hilarious. After he had his laugh, I report it and management didn't do jack shit. Next time I worked with the kid and he did it again, I told him go ahead and try it. We'll see which one of us bleeds from our mouth and nose while kissing the floor. I'm normally a non-violent person, but when you're working with people that are psychotic and a company that you can't ever win a lawsuit against, then you have to toughen up and be prepared to defend yourself.
Any company that would allow that to go on, shouldn’t be in business. Being threatened at knife point is something that needs to be dealt with immediately. I’m sorry you had to be put in that position. Our society has gone crazy. Just my opinion.
He didn't even get to the part where he could ask them before an emotional story, he was just fighting for survival. Which is arguably more interesting.
I’m glad to hear the employee training him doesn’t just do packages all day, despite her high count. The repetitive motions could lead to injury or chronic conditions. What a great employee!
Boy do I got something to tell ya. She's still going to be moving her body like that regardless of what she is doing in that building
My God, I could never imagine having some supervisor come up to me and tell me i'm not doing enough units per hour, and that I need to pick up the pace. I feel bad for people that work these types of positions, I really do.
What about the company where they assemble parts for the so beautiful dress like (academy award in Hollywood) the employees get $ 2.00 per hour and the manager sell that dress
$35 000.oo per dress in Hollywood ?
If the needle goes through their skin like one of the fingers the manager give them the day off and the next day they have to be back at work , reminder
$2.00 per hour ?
How rude can a manager be towards his employees 🙄?
Fast food
I did this for 8 years they don’t come up to you once your trained and doing it and I can literally text listen to music and still make over production this man was an idiot
@@erickrodriguez6108 oh God yes
Used to work at dairy queen illegally as a cook at the age of 15 (have to be 16) and worked damn near full time while attending school. Within my 2nd week being their my coworkers would either call in sick or use the restroom constantly leaving me to do all the orders during rush hours. What's stupid was that I wasn't taught how make and prepare the hamburgers since they wanted to teach me later when I'm comfortable doing the simpler stuff like cooking fries and chicken strip.
So I'm getting all these orders and I had to teach myself how to cook them and make them useing a old ass paper guide while being the only cook (for some stupid ass reason our boss only allowed 2 cooks per shift) and then my manager had the audacity to tell me to hurry up the hell up while my coworkers sometimes forget to take the food from the window to the people in drive even after I yelled "DRIVE" 3 times
I later quite after my grades where starting to fall and I was tired as hell since my coworkers kept calling in to the point where sometimes I don't get a day off and even after I told my manager I needed to study for finals he said I can study when I get home even though I get home at 12 at night because I have to ride my bike 3 miles to get home.
I didn't put a 2 week notice in because I had enough and I was exhausted and he said if I quite to not use him as a reference and I said gladly.
@@xtrithx4389 I feel you, same thing at Wendy’s man it sucks
Whenever "learning" a new welding process, I'd always say, "I've never done it, but I can learn how the job needs it to be done." They love that stuff.
The best employees are always going to be the ones that are willing to learn.
He can’t do half the standard that HE set and he wants them to increase production 🤣🤣
I have worked in a place like this. Fast pace on the 1st day. Not giving them a chance to build up there speed and to grow. And when the company says why there are no workers is because you probably lost a good worker that didn't mature too it and are now at another job making it the best of it.
I wish they showed where 'Gary' later revealed himself as being THEIR Boss.
I tried to find that answer too.
Me too!!!!
Thanks, you saved me the time I would have wasted to see that part.
the boss fired the butt head for being unreasonable, next
there is no part 2 to this?
I'm glad he got to see what is already in place. Now he won't be demanding higher productivity, at least from his workers. His manager, has got that place running like a well oiled machine.
and the cameraman is solely there just waiting until the CEO gets fired
The fact she can use a tape gun like that is amazing! I have never used one that doesn't screw up on me every other strip.
She's good, but the video is clearly sped up.
@@alexh8613 I can move faster than she can and I work for the RV industry. I bet you can too, but yes this video is sped up.
its really not that hard--ex shipping/receiving
It's all about the angle you pull at and the type of tape you use. I've used tape guns that are really annoying because of the type of tape or a dull blade, but what she did was normal for a seasoned warehouse employee.
Good guy with a tape gun
how hard it is to get in this company shows how greedy he is, the fact that he got fired shows that his standards are unhuman. while he got in with the idea of pushing the limits even more up
I run a company but I have no idea about accounting, product engineering etc. If I did those jobs, I would get fired hence I hire. Doesn’t make standards inhumane. Makes you a woke idiot
@@Sam-os1lt Exactly. The boss probably never worked in such field and might actually be unsuitable as a person to do such job but that doesn't mean there aren't other people who are suitable and could keep up. I mean the lady even said that she likes it there so it probably isn't that bad and inhuman there...
@@Sam-os1lt Warehouse jobs kill people because of the high stress and fast pace. You're ridiculous for comparing a job where you sit in your ass all day to a job where you're on your feet all day and getting treated like shit and severy underpaid.
@@Sam-os1lt Careful because as a company owner you should be aware of how overworked logistics staff typically are. If you cant learn these things to a standard that makes you aware of the issue then you shouldnt own a company
@@joshy420 absolutely untrue. No one can decide who can or cannot, should or should not own/run a company. I do agree with you that one should have a basic idea to a set standard without a doubt, and regarding logistics workers, they are definitely overworked. But the way Sam said, he doens't know about accounting/product eng etc. Can't be the jack of all trades and at standard for all of them.
amazing how none of the workers get suspicious about the camera following the new guy ;)
"How are you"
Ignores question lol
This company no longer exists. He’s probably doing doordash now
“want to find a way to increase production”
*cant even keep up with the routine you created now*
So many companies lose good employees because they won’t allow them to train, learn the job correctly and develops speed.
You better fire anyone who can’t get the production done immediately.
All true, but in this case the new employee is in a “competition” with other perspective business people for a cash prize. So the supervisor was asked to hold the undercover boss to a standard for “the competition”
THIS SHOW IS NOT REAL DUDE
@@UNABRIDGED_SCIENCE I know it’s scripted but my statement still stands. Companies will pressure new employees to run production on their first day. They just lose a potentially good employee just for the companies own ego.
@Larry Dicus of course, it's scripted! No sensible business owner of a huge company (correct me if I am wrong!) No one would just partake in a television show like this without the comfort of a script!
The failures on the parcels, I think, were intentional. I believe he was testing his own staff. I think he was trying to see if the company would find his errors. The boxes looked symmetrical, so labelling on the bottom didn't seem to be any different...well, not to me! I just think out of common courtesy, the time frame in the dismissal was unfair.
You have admire people like that lady.
I worked at the Walmart distribution center for 3 years as an order filler. If you were to follow the proper steps and technique as presented in the training video it was impossible to meet production. In order to reach production you had to be unsafe and cut corners or cheat. They knew this too. But if you got caught doing this they would reprimand you. It’s stupid.
Walmart dc got rid of me because I injured myself on my day off and had dr notes stating I needed to be out of work several days . . . My injury happened at my house. . . 🤡
Why don’t people file complaints with the department of labor? Or their state’s labor board? Something? They can’t retaliate against you for complaints into unsafe working conditions, and if they do, you got a great lawsuit on your hands.
@@JJGeneral1 yeah, that never works. The labor board has never followed up with any of my complaints. Also, they can, will and do retaliate, they just find ways to do it that doesn’t connect to the filed complaint. Trust me man, if I could have sued Walmart I would. I don’t want to sound like a dick either but unless you are a minority or woman there is no way in hell your winning a lawsuit.
Typical
@@JJGeneral1 I tried to file a complaint with the "Better Business Bureau", because I was a stocker at Walmart. I worked night shift, and had to drive an hour to get to work. As a night shift stocker in the grocery aisle, we (the night shift stockers) were told that we couldn't leave work until until EVERYTHING that we had in recieving was stocked and put away. If we worked an hour, two hours or even more overtime that night they would make us ALL come into work the next night a hour, two hours, etc late so we couldn't make any over time. This went on for about Five months, towards the last part of the year (Christmas) I tried to put in a complaint through the Better Business bureau (it may have been the labor board-not sure) but they wanted to charge me money for it. So I never went through with it and I ended up quitting. Best thing I ever did!
I despise warehouse work but have much respect for those that do it.. meeting unrealistic quotas whilst still being treated like dog shit.. it's a thankless job, but I thank all the devoted, hardworking warehouse/ production workers for dealing with all that and keeping our economy and country moving!
Really? If they don’t ,Iike it, they can find another job.
@@dcg590 somebody has do it. Plus most of us warehouse workers do it because 1 it pays more and 2 we hate working with the public
@@deadinthenight lmao I love working graveyard shift in production, I get paid really good and never deal with anybody except 3 other coworkers
THIS SHOW IS NOT REAL DUDE
I've been lucky! When the warehouse needed help they just pulled someone from production. No stress. Just do your best. Any help was help. I got good at packing. Not great, but good. I could make things fit that others couldn't. Physics/geometry in the real world? Yes.
as soon as the supervisor ignored him asking how he was doing i knew he’d be terrible😢
Damn I was hoping he’d reveal himself as the boss and get their reactions.
Hmm call me crazy but wouldn’t it be beneficial to pack some boxes off the line to get a feel for it
Either got it or you don’t. It’s a God given gift LOL
You are right, getting fired that easily should not be allowed. Something to think about in my businesses!
@@jasbak5701 😂😂🤣🤣, dude, I lost it with your response man. Its crazy how some places are like that.
Why would you pack boxes off the line? What just pack the same box over and over again instead of accomplishing SOMETHING at least? I'm not sure I agree with the manager dismissing him so quickly, but there are people we can tell from the start are just always gonna be useless.
@Samuel Deter I have more patience on the productivity side than I do on the quality side. I have little patience when it comes to egregious safety violations. I’ve let people go on the first day for trying to operate equipment that’s been locked out/tagged out. For quality, I won’t consider writing someone up until at least their fourth day and same with productivity, except after two weeks. I expect them to be up to speed in about four weeks and, if productivity is their only issue and I see them making an effort, I try to find them a spot in another department as opposed to firing that person. However, if that person is in their third department due to productivity issues, I inform them that this isn’t the job for them. Yes, they’re fired, but I will provide a positive reference in that case and won’t contest an unemployment claim if he/she was there long enough

I agree, people need more time to develop the skill rather than trying to prove they have it in the short time they got. This is very typical of management in distribution/ warehousing industry. Management lacks patience and interpersonal skills severely.
That's why I got the hell out of Urban Outfitters. I was in their Distribution Center and they treated us like crap. I got sick a few times and had to leave work early. They sent me home then they wrote me up. They didn't care about their employees health and safety
You're both absolutely right. People have no patience at all. He should definitely fire that worthless boss
So true. Management barely acknowledges that people need restroom breaks. I hope this opened Gary's eye a bit.
@@cynthiacole6140 one day I had an upset stomach at work. I told my Assistant Lead that I wasn't feeling good. When I got back, my Head Lead was constantly bullying and harassing me. He said if you have a stomach issue go to the doctor. I walked away fed up with him, then he got mad and threatened to take me to the Managers office to have me fired. I was ready to go with him and tell the Manager that I was done working for this idiot. But I didn't. Eventually he relocated to another Department and got himself fired when he was looking for a fight
We don't know what would the manager face if he couldn't make his team meet the standards. He would probably get fired on the spot as well that's why he has to be hard on the newcomers. The whole system must be changed
Funny the greed from the top though, he says he was there seeing if there was a way to improve production and then seen new workers had little chance keeping up with the pace they were demanding
I used to train for a certain major packaging company and I tell you the speed that woman was working would not have even met our quotas but we also didn't expect someone to be fast on their first day, first week or even the first month. You have to develop skills like that. We also knew that our production quotas were high so we installed machinery to help the workers with this completely automatable task. Gave the workers far more time to work on things that were more important. The thing was workers still had to train how to do it manually because breakdowns arise and other circumstances. Quotas were not demanded in those cases. A good company works around the issues and provides their employees the tools to succeed instead of getting rid of people without giving them a chance.
she genuinely seemed heartbroken when he came over to fire him :( like her eyes seemed so sad
I'd say that's a little premature after letting a guy go after a few hours probably could have given him at least 72 hours to show that he could do it
You want to give the guy a full week and another day and a half out of the next week to figure this stuff out? A few hours and he already messed up and was only producing less than half the expected minimum.
You know that the lady training him was having to make up the difference, and it was likely that she was the one who said "no way, I wont cover for this guy indefinitely"....and she is so valuable that you either cut the new guy lose to keep the one who can kick butt, or you make your awesome worker do more work and deal with more stress for the sake of compensating for incompetent new hires, and that is a great way to lose your experienced and talented workers.
@@tommywolfe2706 Tammy we have to be compassionate we have to give people the benefit of the doubt the woman that's training him didn't get shit canned after 2 hours or 4 hours people sometimes have things they have to work through how do you know that this guy didn't have a wife and baby at home and they were behind on rent have a little bit of compassion see how it plays out if you have to wait another week that's just a week the world will not end in the week
@@outlawjoseywales9782 Yes, compassion. That is why you let the guy go straight away, because if he has a family at home, its better for him to find a job he can do instead of dragging it out a week or two before letting him go.
It stinks, but some people just arent cut out for work like that and you cant give everyone the benefit of the doubt.
This guy might be nice, the next guy could be the most unreliable, lazy and incompetent person....and someone who would take advantage of a bleeding heart like you......and then you would be the one faced with the prospect of losing your job as well.
Back in 1989 I started a company I was 19 years old I hired 10 people to start it now I'm at 47 one of my best workers could not grasp the loading dock I simply worked with him until he could do it now he's been with me for over 30 years and sometimes you can't just get rid of somebody cuz you feel like they're not going to be able to excel it's called benefit of the doubt
@@tommywolfe2706 I respect your opinion Tommy
that is unacceptable to fire somebody on their first few hours .. I’ve worked in packing/shipping, and now as a foreman in a production shop, the first thing I’ve always told my new hires take your time to learn the skill and perfect it then we will work on speed.. Id rather have an employee that isn’t at a pace to injure themselves, that perfected the skill, than to set a quota that not only could injure the employee or costs the company money for screwups.. I also found that instead of saying job or station , whatever, that calling each thing a skill makes people want to set a personal best goal
Exactly, more important he didn't make the label mistakes and the boxes were fully secure. I'd expect 30 an hour day 1 and put it up by 10 a day.
These things are always so unbelievable. Zero chance they don’t know this is undercover boss by now. Camera crew and all.
Especially some of the "disguises" they wear. Ridiculous.
I feel this one I was put in a line with a dude that has been there for 40 years and they wanted me to do as many as that person was with NO EXPERIENCE and then they let me go because I wasn’t going fast enough the need to realize that it takes time for someone to get a moment down and learn the process
The lady who was training him was very good and understanding. She said “don’t panic, take a deep breath”. She should be the manager. The guy who fired him should not be a manager, he should either be fired or demoted to a packer. Then we will see how many boxes he will do in an hour. How do you expect perfection on your first day…🤷🏽♀️😳
It's not that hard of a job. If you can't get a easy job to work out how do expect to advance.
Tie your balls with your bootstraps or however gen x people say it.
@sparkyguitar Difficult skill, no. Quota required on day one...that's asking a bit much. The turnover rate must be extreme. The turnover would push people away from wanting to work there. I can't imagine the pay would be good either. High turnover, pay not good, and stressful. Not to mention, a manager telling you that you aren't doing well every hour. "It's not that hard of a job". You are funny.

Happened to me at UPS. I was unloading extremely fast to the point even faster than vets. Then my manager told me I had to move even faster - - like seriously? I’m already one of the performers plus I already work at FedEx at the time during peak so clearly I’m a professional. One day my shift manager got bad upset because I was “late” but I was already 10 minutes early doing stretches and clocked in on time (He was late). I expressed multiple times that I need a badge so I can prove I clocked on time like you said and I even stick after shifts to help him. Just because your life sucks, don’t make mine suck.
3:42 I’ve been there…
And my stomach literally fell in reaction to those words lol
AND I HAVE A DAMN JOB LOL
I wonder if he felt bad after he realized he couldn’t do the job correctly like her . But she did amazing the way she was packing everything so fast !
He’s learned a valuable lesson basically. Fire everybody and install robots.
How can they fire a guy like that on his first day? He's clearly trying his best and it takes time to get the hang of something new.
Some people learn faster than others, but the boss does see now how he was working his employees like a dog.
when people arent performing well then the manager is getting scolded and then Dm is getting yelled at and then the regional manager is getting scolded. Its a whole chain effect. Best to cut them off to save your own job

I have trained dozens of people in the retail/ rental business and I always made sure they had a good grip on basic knowledge of the job before I put them on a register and then I either had another employee stand with them or I did. I got a part time job at Michael's. I was put with an employee who after ten minutes and 3 customers later decided to go on break. She told me to watch another employee who said to me I just started so I'm not telling you nothing. After another 10 minutes the supervisor asked me if I was ready to be on a register yet and I told her no so she sent me back to the art department to learn go backs with my original trainer. The next day they gave me a basket of go backs from what they call the floral dept ( wilton, wedding ,seasonal etc) but no scanner to tell you location. So if employees at some of the major chains look like they don't know what they are doing most likely it's not their fault.
They don't want to waste their money on training new employees do you want them to pick up the job so quickly if not they just get rid of them. Unfortunately this is how it goes everywhere because profit is the most important thing nothing else.
Would like to see how the undercover boss reacted and what he said when he told them he's the owner. Missus with the mad skills should get a bonus from him
Having someone watch you do something is not the same as Training that person to perform a task.
This is giving me horrible flashbacks to when I would do this kind of work and frequently have a supervisor approach me to tell me that I need to pick up the pace. That always made me so incredibly anxious, and it didn’t help that I would have so much trouble staying in these jobs due to being ‘too slow’.
It's ridiculous to expect expert performance the first day on the job... the guy that fired him should be fired. Completely unreasonable expectations.
Entertainment made for TV.
Maybe. Maybe not. I worked at a factory making fishing lures and they were almost as unreasonable.
There expectation from the owner he's just doing his job and holding up the standards. Keep in mind this boss want to increase production speed when he can't even meet his own standards. Everyone in his company deserved a raise after that.
Exactly 💯
Maybe he's doing his job that the owner of the company requires. He might be a great owner,,,, but that doesn't mean he's a great boxer! That's why you have the right people in the right places to get things done.
Bro thank you for the video
I worked in a builders, a small works department, and he always said that he wouldn't expect the men to do things that he couldn't do. I always respected him, he was a fair boss.
I need to find the whole show to see Gary's reaction when he finds out that the guy he fired is the real boss.
Not sure if it’s down to company policy or that particular supervisor; but either way it’s an absolute disgrace! They expect someone who’s basically new to that line of work to be a perfect 10 in just a few hours.

yeah that's so stupid, no company should have type of expectation, especially your first day of course you are going to be nervous and not know how to do things to the best of your abilities, everybody needs time to improve with anything.
Not surprised at all. These suits can't burst a grape but will run you into the ground.
I worked at an Amazon fulfillment Center, packing, in Petersburg, VA. (2016). I forty-seven years old, but somewhat in shape. I had never worked that hard in my life. It was brutal!!
Well, that's a company I'll never apply for. I already know I couldn't be that fast after such a short time.
I like how he wanted to see if he can increase production and can’t keep up
I spent 37 years in management. The guy that fired him is a butt and if I was his boss I would fire him. It takes a while to get the hang of these things. You got to be patient and work with people. I had a 160 women work for me one time. It was one of my better jobs but there was never a dull moment. I took care of them and they worked hard for me.
Just curious but why would you fire him? It's more than likely that the standards that the supervisor used have been established by hire ups including the undercover boss. If the supervisor works in this manner one would think HR would be aware of the turn over rate. If this supervisor works likes this independently then it's a company and cultural failure if one, he's never been spoken to or 2, he's been spoken to and has been allowed to continue in this manner. This failure falls on the undercover boss, the uper management team and company wide training needs to be established.
You don't have to work with people that show you they don't have potential. IF, you are trusted enough by management to hire and fire. You didn't have that trust or you were not really concerned with company success and profits.
If you had 160 women, you knew only a few
And they reported their likes and dislikes to you, so you worked for them to keep things moving along.
This is just because you said you would fire the man looking out for the best interest of your company and the quality of the people in your care-- the crew, your crew. You didn't babysit all those people yourself.
No that's how employees get treated, day in and day out. Boss is incompetent.
The shift supervisor is only following what his boss expects (company policy) if he doesn’t do his job then he gets fired that’s called a no win situation
160 women? No men? Was that some sort of illegal sweat shop?
This is why I hated my job at Urban Outfitters. I was working in a warehouse like this, the boss overworked us and underpaid us. Never gave us days off and wanted us to be perfect. The managers punished us for making errors. How could we be perfect if we're working 70+ hours a week and not getting days off that we deserve! This is why I've never gone back to a warehouse job!
Simple. Alot of bosses just see you as a resource that can be replaced easily. Plenty of people after jobs.
They work you hard, complain about everything, rarely listen. Once you are gone you are forgotten. Onto next worker.
But not all bosses are aholes.
@@stevendriver661 what you just said is true. That's exactly what Urban Outfitters was. I also felt like the CEO was just trying to make more money off us. Like you said the leaders didn't care that the workers hated the company nor complain about being overworked
Go to a factory under a union, corporations hate them because it's a group of worker getting together and saying they won't sign a contract to work for the company unless they take the shit that has harmed the workers seriously and so they've taught us to blindly hate them but they're like democracy in a contract, your peers have had happenings under corporations and have gotten together to stop it from being a reality. They know that and love the power not having you negotiate your contract gives them, so any place under a union will be up front about what days you will work, how overtime is handled, what rate you're guaranteed for overtime, how many days of sick leave you get without being fired, and even the days you get off in a given year due to what holidays your union recognizes as a whole. You can't be removed meaninglessly and any change to your employment is guaranteed by the union, meaning you can't just be laid off, an agreement must be met. Factories and warehouses aren't the problem, it's the toads running them that hate you being able to complain and get away with it. They're used to replacing a squeaky wheel, being held accountable and required to fix the wheel rather than just move on has made many unionized workplaces legitimate havens for earning both monetary and social credit.
@@bluemeiko my old company made overtime and weekends mandatory. So we were stuck using our personal days on a weekend
@@parkerbeard6170 Any under the USW (United Steel Workers) aren't allowed to terminate unless you've missed 8 days after the established probationary period (45-60 days typically), can't fire for drug offences unless a rehabilitation center has been paid up to 15,000 on a first offense to correct the issue, and they can't work the entire weekend (so no Sunday work at all) or more than three Saturdays in a row, meaning you can't have months of no full weekends, just three weeks of six days. Also, those extra hours are at a set and discussed rate, can't be applied with less than 48 hours of heads-up, and don't have to count against your attendance or terminable absence record if you contact HR regarding your availability. We're even about to be discussing another contract for the USW here soon, so there may be even more addressed grievances and better working conditions than even what we're tasting now thanks to them... But seriously, don't let the suits get you twisted about unions. They're your peers as a group talking about issues you have too. The only reason that would be bad is if you're doing something wrong and don't want to be held accountable, they know it and anyone with a nose can smell the bullshit they put out to pretend it isn't. Kings acted like this too and we deposed them, now we've made fake castles for them and jerked them off until there's no money to go around and they're not sure we deserve any... If you're done with it, most of us are too. Fuck corporations, but fuck greed more than anything. Be a community if not a union and really put and end to this, don't let them convince you that your skill isn't worth putting forth or isn't valuable, it is and they're ignorant for dealing with it this way.
The fact he asked if he was fast enough when it was painful obvious how much slower he was then her.
pov: manager promotes himself to CEO
It amazes me that the owner can't do the job he requires of his employee. I then wonder what his performance is like as the CEO. I also wonder if this company is still in business.
eBay acquired it for $2.4 billion in 2011, so I’m assuming he got a nice payday.
LMAO! You are funny lady!
I never understood why people are always so surprised by this. Being a CEO is it’s own job with its own skill set. I wouldn’t expect a CEO to know how to do every job everyone at the company needs to do. That’s not the skill set they have.
I would expect him to know how hard the jobs are though. That’s what made undercover boss successful a show. CEOs underestimating their workers.
@@Harryacorn2 you’re right a CEO has its own skill set. Sitting in meetings, setting overly high expectations, cutting costs that shouldn’t be cut, and receiving 100 or more times the average salary of the normal worker. CEOs are useless and I can guarantee if a company went a year without one, no one would notice
And woman can't perform at anything not even the kitchen anymore. Dude sold for over 2bil while you watch this stupid game TV show he is profiting off of. Hilarious
If the CEO wanted to increase the production then he needs to set up a proper training officer who will explain how to do it quickly, just showing someone couple of times isnt nearly enough. New worker needs to work side by side by someone who knows and can verbally explain how its done and why you do certain moves. I started on making boxes in meat factory and first day I did like 10 boxes while the guy showing me did 3 times as many. 1 week later I was doing more than he did but wouldnt be if he didnt show me, there are tip[s and tricks about every job. 6 month later I was working on a band saw and learning knife work. Nothing is more efficient than real time lesson.
It's taping a box.... lol.
You are right, but the problem here is that the managers have a very tight agenda because of the ridiculous demands of the greedy owners. So the managers don"t have enough time to invest on people who don't show potential.
The owners won't be comprehensive if the factory is short of workers or if it has a lot of newbies, the production fee will remain the same, even if the employees have to stay late to meet the production goal.
I worked in a similar company, trust me, your comment is not wrong but in the real world most company owners don't think the same as you do, they couldn't care less.
True
@@jonathansturgisjs even the most dumbest tasts require some sort of hand eye strength agility and enurence. The fact that this is a entry level job position and this man couldn't even hit 50% of the goal gives me a good idea about how this company is ran. Most company's set a number tell you when you hit the number you can go home only to raise the number and you end up living in the place. Want a good job were they treat employees good? Don't go for a company that makes billions each year in revenue. Smaller company's that only make millions a year normally pay employees way better and treat them better because there business model doesn't include taking as much money for profits as they can for all there shareholders. From my experience that's what I've seen atleast
@@dabndangle even after all that, it's still just folding a box.
I was a supervisor at a warehouse. I would mess with the workers numbers so it looked like they were just below hitting the standard. For 1, the standard was ridiculous high, and 2 if they hit it, they would just raise it a couple months down the line.

Would make sense to have a training center to build of their speed and confidence before putting on line to actually work

@Martin Kuliza yes, management should expect high productivity. But any “leader” who expects employees to meet a production rate that the “leader” cannot meet him/herself is a hypocrite and isn’t a leader. Not saying management should be spending all their time doing the grunt work either. I’m just saying that true leaders are capable of doing exactly what they expect their subordinates to do
@@nicholasselke5214
Mate, Listen i understand your point ok, but sadly it's incorrect and i'm sorry to say it , but it is
Look,
Let's address a few things
"But any “leader” who expects employees to meet a production rate that the “leader” cannot meet him/herself is a hypocrite and isn’t a leader."
NO THIS IS NOT CORRECT
Being a hypocrite doesn't mean you are not a leader, it's just means you're a hypocritical leader, but a leader nonetheless
now this point
" I’m just saying that true leaders are capable of doing exactly what they expect their subordinates to do"
NO , NOT TRUE EITHER
Leaders Lead, and as such they do not necessarily have to have the skills to do everything that the employee's can do
I can give you hundreds of examples and stories of people that started companies who were very good leaders and were very successful but didn't know how to do all the thing the employees could do
THE PROBLEM IS THIS
and let's be fucking real about this , ok
Most people are employee's and as such they get the shit end of the stick (i know, i've been one)
Employers don't have to push employees as hard as they do, but they do it because an employee's function in a company is to make money
NOW, HERE'S THE ISSUE
Obviously an employee is going to take this personally and have a problem with it (this is understandable)
Employee's also have a pre conceived idea of what an employer SHOULD BE
things like
An employer should be able to do everything the employee can do
An Employer should be able to do it better
An employer should be a REAL LEADER (of which we don't even have the definition) etc etc
Reality in business is...
YOU MAKE MONEY THROUGH LEVERAGE
Leverage of Time
Leverage of Money
LEVERAGE MEANS........ (as one example) Hiring those that can do things exceptionally well that YOU CAN'T DO YOURSELF
but your job as a business owner is TO MANAGE THEM AND THEIR PERFORMANCE
to say an employer should know everything an employee knows or can do completely defeats the purpose of leverage and the ability to amplify income
if that were the case business would be very limited
I understand your point, but that's not the case mate
NOW THE POINT IS THIS
The o.p. made the statement (Sarcastically) that the company set a standard they themselves couldn't achieve
Obviously he's an employee
Obviously he's hurt
Obviously He's venting frustration and opinion
I GET ALL THAT
My point is, IT'S INCORRECT
now you see , if i disagree on a forum full of employee's i'm going to get ridiculed, As has happened.
I'm not the bad guy, I'm just pointing out a mistake
THIS IS CALLED FALSE LOGIC
it's when something logically sounds like it's correct but it's not in actual fact.
Employee's are such because they think a certain way
Business owners are what they are because they think another way
and how you think defines the comment you will type up
I'm not arguing, I'm just showing you guys your mistake
The question is, WILL YOU UNDERSTAND IT
I mean let me ask you....
CAN YOU SEE THE HURT IN THE O.P.'S COMMENT OR NOT ?
Can you see how his comment stems from a feeling of "something is unfair here" ?

I worked for UPS in a non-union position for 3 years back in the 70s. Rank and file employees soon learn they can never meet expectations, no matter how proficient they are. Managers are purposely trained to tell their subordinates they aren't performing up to par in order to drive them to constantly push harder and harder and it's never enough. Finally had enough of it; told them what I thought on the way out, vowed I'd never again work for someone else - and haven't. By the way - UPS hasn't changed although the drivers (who are union) don't get as much heat as the nonunion folks.
I worked in a UPS warehouse & unloaded trucks. They wanted us to unload 3 trailers a day. This was during a 5 hour shift. One day after I finished my 3 trailers. I had to use the bathroom. The supervisor tells me that he needs me to unload another trailer. I tell him that I'm going to use the bathroom first. He tells me to unload the trailer first. Some back & forth arguing starts. Then he tells me "If you go to the bathroom. I'm going to send you home.". I told him to kiss my ass. I used the bathroom & left. I went back only to pick up my check. The station manager was there with my union rep trying to convince me to come back. I already had another job. So I politely declined.
