"The most important thing in the world is your customers. They pay good money, and so they deserve good service!" Incorrect because if you don't look after your staff, then you don't have any customers. Look after your staff and your staff will look after your customers.
This is disgusting. The only UB that I have seen that they didn’t even reward the workers. They were not given bonuses and the only incentive was to make the company & the bigwigs more money but not the employees. The workload has been doubled but their wages are not increased. Makes me angry.
An elevator should replace the stairs in the archive warehouse, if you'd accept a sugestion...even a small one just for the boxes(and then you'd go doen and push the button to call the lift). Minimum investment for maximum comfort( IF you care about your employees).
@@wescombeco The ramp creates velocity(speed). You don't want that... Its own weight will make it descend faster that u could hold it. N if u hold it, that creates a huge tension in your legs and back. An elevator shaft, industrial one. Or a slide like...the kids slide in the park ? Yeah...a small one just to make the things slide from one floor to another
I'm sure they didn't downsize their board of directors after the recession and didnt make any pay cuts around the table but did freeze employee pay and likely made a lot of people redundant.
I've been watching a ton of these Undercover Bosses for a while now. So far, this is the only one where the workers get absolutely nothing back from the company for their devotion and dedication to their jobs. I am totally appalled with the way they used some of their best staff. "We'll just throw them a few peanuts and they'll be grateful to us" HEAVEN FORBID the board would tighten their belts a little to help the front line workers who put it all on the line every day for a bunch of greedy money grubbing board members who just don't give a damn for anything but their own bottom dollar. And not wanting to seem to condescending or point fingers, Mr Undercover doesn't look like he's missed to many meals or done 1/1000 of the manual labour in a year that those front line workers do in a day. I found it inconceivable that that ass would bring up the hurtful parts of their lives that they told him about and then basically turn his back and dismiss them. I'd see that as a real slap in the face and would have very politely told them where to stuff it, (since I already worked my butt off to earn the "promotions") and walked away from a company that takes away from the workers to be sure their bottom dollar isn't affected. I absolutely can't believe they posted this one. Just my opinion.
I totally agree with you the part about the over time was shocking they should of gave it 2 them with back pay for all the extra hours they've put in already
This is the one of the few who actually gave the staff career upgrades and clear path to uplifting their position. I think that’s better then the companies who give away luxury vacation.
This actually was one of the better episodes, where the CEO actually tried to learn and rewarded the people with promotions (and thus continually more money), they otherwise would not have gotten. They were recognized for their worth and potential. You pissing at 'the board' without knowing the first thing about them, reveals you've got issues there. You got hurt somewhere, and I'm sorry for that. But you take it out on the wrong ones. These people are working hard to keep the company going, providing jobs! Recession time hits home hard. As a small company owner myself, it was the employees, who got the money. Whilst we were unable to shower for months and kept but one room warm, trying to keep the business alive.
How come? She provided all, that was needed. Let him try the carrying out in front of her. People seem to indeed have picked up bad habits behind her back. How is she to know those things? Her not showing up must have a legitimate reason. You just don't decide not to go, if you don't feel like it. Perhaps she was ill or a family member was buried that day.
Ive been watching several episodes of "Undercover Boss/Canada", and have even come across a few from "Undercover Boss/Australia", as well. It seems, across the board, that there were "rewarded" employees in every episode. Not to mention, more directly implemented financial assistance, where needed, in a more personally technical manner. Those movers could have at least used some special gloves, corner grips, etc., for their dangerous efforts. 😮 And, if you're a multi-million dollar company, invest in a cargo elevator/lift for the man treacherously wielding heavy boxes down flights of stairs!! Seems to me that the UK bosses should step up their game, & loosen the purse strings a bit more!!
I know this was a year ago I don't know if you still had this program on but I'm sure you can probably relay your message my message to them it starts with the people that they're hiring that are running these different buildings in different staffs and that's where the miscommunication comes from the people that are actually running these companies and not telling the CEOs on how they're running his companies
NOW WE KNOW WHY ALLL THE EMPLOYEES ARE UNHAPPY, THEY REALLY DONT CARE ABOUT THEM.... THIS EPISODE THE EMPLOYEE WERE EXPECIFICLY COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SALARY
Cant believe people are so lazy that they hire movers to pack up all their stuff before moving. At least pack your shit into boxes then get the movers to move the boxes and furniture
I used to work for a removal company years ago, a large house removal with full pack would have cost between £1500 - £3000 over 10 years ago, for a wage of £7.00 an hour. Plenty of international movers returning within the year as well, as it didn't work out for them.
One could say that about nearly everything couldn't they? Food, cleaning, laundry, repairs etc etc. I would rather work some extra hours on what I like and am good at, and pay for someone to do something that I don't have any interest in and that I would probably not be as good or efficient at. It doesn't have to be laziness, it can be a logical decision.
Can't believe all the shit people haul with them overseas. Old furniture (plain old, not antique), there's no sense. Pack just the most important stuff and replace the rest once you get where you're going.
Lovely show but the end was a bit shocking - they weren't given a red cent - not even a freaking holiday for the man with 6 grandchildren - for goodness sake. How do the Brits put up with no pay yet work harder? Was that being taken advantage of?
ha ing worked at both ends of the job world, i often felt that most bigger companies were top heavy. meaning admin. had plenty of time to sit around and think about some new form they could come op with to give themselves job security. when what would have been best would have been better communication.
a few of those people around that conference table couldnt have given a shit,their $ in their pockets were safe.get rid of a few of them.U dont need that many pencil pusher.that would save the company 4 or 5 hundered of thousand a yr..
Wow I'm going to call you to head office to give you another job title Meanwhile USA companies promote and give you cash Don't worry lads you go on TV and the boss gives you extra overtime hours ,😂 Meanwhile a waitress in America gets 20k and a promotion
How's it legal to stop paying employees overtime? This show is one of the biggest ripoffs of all time. They give a few employees that were in the show a little something. The rest of the workforce doesn't rip the benefits, but the company does. How is that fair? Remember, the company also gets money from the tv production company for going undercover. The employees get a lot of exposure good or bad. The show is great for the producers and the companies, not so much for the employees of any company featured in any of the countries where it is broadcast.
I've watched this, and read a few comments, and am glad that I wasn't the only one who thought this programme was very 'off'. It really was throwing peanuts to the people who are the actual business.....the board......what a joke....." we do listen ".....really
Because the thing is is the people that he lives in charge to run the companies they don't care on how the companies are being run they're getting paid a good chunk of money to keep these businesses going but they don't really care why don't the people that he leaves in charge of these companies all over the world or wherever you're at however it works put them undercover and see how they can perform their job better than they are it shouldn't take the CEO to go undercover to find out how his companies are being run he's leaving people in charge to do that those are the people that need to go into cover that would be a whole new show and you know damn well you're going to make money off it I'm in Iowa or the United States and I'm 57 years old on social security disability and I have a third grade education that's why I'm on disability and if I can figure this out maybe you should hire me to figure things out for you I don't come cheap though that's my opinion oh and I don't fly and I don't drive

He only works with one other person, so for him, it's totally applicable.

What strikes me about those on the UK Undercover Boss, is the humility and graciousness of the people, no matter what kind of jobs they hold.
Hi June nice to meet you,hoping we can talk more if you don’t mind.
Great they got more things to do
What? They must have been so disappointed not getting the lavish prizes to support them in moving their life forward!
Benefiting yourself
Ironic that Pauline didn't show up when they wanted a chat about clear lines of communication lol.
I hope that she was let go. After pinging those braces!

@@c.t5136 What did she do to you, that you would write something This unkind? Nothing. You are just being mean to someone anonymously.
Not a thing offered to amazing employees, run people run..
That document storage warehouse is a death trap. I didn’t see any fire protection in there at all on top of a lack of material lifts.

Well, shouldn't they've been provided mandatory as PPE equipment ?
As per the Health and Safety 1974 the company should provide all the relevant PPE.

Comparing to the USA version this show is very cheap!
Its the original before the USA version thought it was more interesting to just hand out stacks of cash.
Exactly! Cheap boss…

The one thing I've learned about the uk they some cheap mfs. Even at the end it was still only about the bottom line for the company

Call me spoiled or un educated about Canada.

Oh my word...took the words right out of my mouth!!! The gifts he gave them will benefit him in the end 😅 cheap
Note: not Canada but Uk
Yeh canadian boss are cheao
Note: not Canada but Uk
Very cheap Boss
