This app sounds like it is made by the type of companies you would roast on this channel. What happened to you Josh? It's like you are parodying yourself now.
Josh TBH most daytime reality shows have just as weird a premise. Sadly, I could actually see this working as a TV show today. And like all such TV shows it's really about the panel and/or presenters while pretending it's about the contestants. This CEO is seriously obsessed with himself and is only interested in promoting himself using other people's "back stories"- look at the production value on this. In fairness the families played along but then they've been put in a bit of a fix - and all to massage this w****r's ego.
From my perspective, over the years I invest in tools like these for self-improvement especially forming good habits. Good habits that turn into greater financial independence, lifestyle stability, and highly improved quality of life.
"Hello slave of my mother/father. Your son/daughter will be staying back late for no other reason but to put more money into my pocket. I, the person you don't care about, will keep you company with fake smiles while wishing that the people you do care about will come home before dinner"
But seriously, this shines a light on the power imbalance in the Ametican workforce. Companies like this one think that not only is OK to pull this stunt, but they're proud of it. Meanwhile, if an employee just sets some boundaries on their time, or asks if they're getting paid for their overtime - well then, how DARE he!
I worked at a place where the ceo thought a salary was a way to buy friends and then power trip over them without respecting boundaries and privacy. It is truly a terrible employee experience, and a slippery slope back to indentured servitude (the kind with the evil subclauses that mean you never escape the contract)
@alf3071 It is more that those people who lack morals and ethics enough to STEAL and grift themselves to those positions. The saying "Cheaters never prosper" was written by a cheater trying to eliminate competition of those who try to achieve success honestly. That is the joke Billionaires tell each other. Every single robber barron one of them.
What are the damages exactly? This is definitely invasive and downright creepy, but unless some kind of suffering or pain was endured, I don’t see what the case would pursue in terms of damages? How would you quantify the losses?
If they contacted my mom, she'd tell them to kick rocks and never contact her again. Then she'd tell me and I'd immediately start looking for another job lol
Technically, it could be invasion of privacy or seem as intimidating behaviour/coercive control using personal details to access employees outside of the scope of employment, especially without the clear and expressed permission to do so from that employee. Be very careful. - 30 year business owner.
Not only is this creepy, not only is it beyond invasive, not only is it without consent and arguably illegal. This feels like *STALKING.* And the parents who *cooperated* in this. WTF? Borderline abusive. If my mother did this, I'd have permanently cut contact. Also, the business of exposing your personal stories (especially embarrassing ones) to co-workers in an apparent *ambush* during work hours is simply beyond the pale. They're all smiling and laughing because they quite literally can't leave, and can't cry. I'm certain that CEO didn't run this past an attorney. Or HR. Or, you know, any person over the age of twelve. And that business of running people around on a roof when they are afraid of heights? OMG. Can I just say, both their landlord and their insurance carrier are having heart palpitations if they know about this.
I can't imagine all the ways the CEO can use whatever information he finds against the worker. "Look, Bill, you're performance is down this quarter. Might that have something to do with what your Mom said about....."
My cro wanted to come to our houses and watch us work. He actually stayed over night and one of the reps houses. Beyond ridiculous. He is a mormon guy. He really wanted to see peoples overhead because if you have a big house payment then you will sell more. He was a creepy dude. He was always flirting with the woman reps too and sexualizing them. Not to mention making racists comments to black people on team meetings. Sadly, hes still at the company
You can understand the parents side since they see it as an opportunity to talk positively about their kid so that they could get a raise, albeit this is probably not going to happen like that I can't understand it from the CEO though..
Nobody answers the door to a stranger with a camera crew with a hug. The only "surprise" about all of this was someone thinking it was a good idea in the first place.
Of course, they had to get releases signed to use initial shots of them on their own property, plus a property release just to show the building. It's set up in advance. If my parents did this for money or free!!! even, they wouldn't meet their grandchildren.
If my son's employer paid me a visit, I would certainly ask some hard questions. If an employer opens that Pandora's Box, don't complain about the outcome. Imagine if the employee's parents were workplace litigation attorneys. Is this an invitation for helicopter parents of adult children to start showing up at some of their meetings and putting in their two cents worth?
Yeah. It brought me flashbacks of P. E. I hated being forced to do sports at school. I'd quit that job and find a real one that respects their employees.
So glad you didn’t show his book. Anyways, naw that’s weird. Not even giving their employees the choice to keep home life and work life separate is sickening. I can also see how that action could be construed as harassment
I didn't even consider this. What did they do exactly? Prowl through their employees emergency contacts to get the information without having to ask them? If so, that's just gross. We're way beyond red flags with this one.
@@CrabtreeJK this stuff falls right in there with harassment and stalking laws. I've seen enough people get sued for doxxing to know this stuff isn't cool.
@@CowToes I am not saying that this is not insane harassment....only that when you purchase land, you make a public record that anyone can access. This CEO should have a law suite filed against him.
@@agirlfrommars3441 ha so true. I also had an abusive mother who i cut off all contact with. I can't even imagine the horror of if my boss had done this.
Imagine you’re secretly working your butt off so you can afford to escape an abusive controlling household, your employer shows up to “meet the family”, your parents passive aggressively go out of their way to make you look bad and you get fired…. Then you get in trouble at home.
seriously youtube needs a lot more content covering peer-reviewed, statistical studies of 'how well generative AI can make recommendations and decisions in comparison to a human executive'. a quick web search suggests that in 2022 a ceo takes 200-350x more money out of a business for compensation than a typical worker. so swapping out one ceo with a bot could put a lot of money back in your budget... plus genAI probably wouldn't try to sneak around behind your back and meet and film your family, and then hang giant posters of you in public so sketchy people have a much easier time tracking you down...
I would have quit that job immediately and my parents probably would have cursed them out. That is not ok. And that basketball challenge... what happens if that basketball goes off the roof and falls on someone's head at speed? That could give someone a serious head injury from high up enough. This CEO is a psychopath.
I had more before, but it all simply boils down to this. Sue them. What they did was in the borderline realm of what is legal or not, in not just America but Canada as well. And if no lawyer will take up the case, force it to happen instead.
and the poor parents don't want their child to lose their job in this economy, so they say yes even when the want to say no. that is not free and informed consent
This is so disrespectful. It's degrading because it strongly resembles a school child-parent conference, but unlike school meetings where kids are present I am not, I'm an adult, indicating how the firm views me. Additionally, I would sue on grounds of privacy, as there are pictures of me from infancy to adulthood in my parents' home, violating the terms and agreement regarding image sharing without consent. I would also sue for emotional distress.Violating my rights under state and federal law can never be superseded by your selfish agenda, regardless of how well-intentioned or, to be honest, delusional the CEO is about company culture. Consequences will follow.
I'm 60 years old. My dad is now 98 years old, a retired dairy farmer who often doesn't know who I am. I'd pay my boss to go talk to my dad. They'd learn more about cows than they ever thought was knowable, but would get a blank stare if my name was mentioned.
As much as the things Blue Compass is doing can be considered positive on the surface, I wonder how genuine it really is once the camera is turned off. I mean, serious red flag that the company went to parents without consent. And like Joshua said, the roof wasn't safe for shooting basketballs from. We need to be careful about not falling for corporate companies' cheap tricks to make us think they're good, because they treat us like family...until the bottom line's in trouble.
That is weird. My parents probably wouldn't care for it. If they wanted to speak to my boss, they'd visit him at the office. They don't like people showing up to their house unannounced, though.
Beyond nuts! I am so sick of "company culture". I'd really like to see a company that says: "Our culture is to have you work reasonable hours for reasonable pay and benefits and you go home at the end of your shift and forget about work."
I'd make it mandatory to forget about work, not to bring work home, etc, after the shift ends. Why stress out your work force? What these ass-clowns are doing is elevating employee stress, not alleviating it.
Holy hell, when you mentioned safety equipment on the roof, I was like "come on, can't be that bad, been to a couple rooftop events, the normal rails are more than fine". I wasn't expecting a barren cement roof. Hell to effin NO. I don't do heights, normally, even with rails I never lean or support myself on them and stay a good distance from the edges. But a barren cement roof without anything? I wouldn't be caught dead in that thing.
The worst part about all of this is that they said that they "kept this all a secret." So did they gaslight/bribe/blackmail their parents or something? The parents are just gong to keep this visit "Secret?" What kind of parents would even accept this bs(The kind that doesn't actually care about hteir children, but how they look to the world[narcissists])?
For a job as a police officer I had a background investigator talk to my parents, neighbors, in laws even my wife’s 90 year old grandmother about me. It was crazy
3 days visiting employees' parents. So who was running the company for those 3 days? Or maybe a CEO isn't as indispensable on a day-to-day basis as they'd have us believe. Hey, maybe CEO should be a part-time position with no benefits like other jobs that aren't needed every day at the company...
Creepy. What about the employee that wants to leave their childhood behind, grow up, become self reliant and build their own career? Involuntary hot air balloon parents.
In a few years his company will be out of business, his books will be pulped or remaindered, and all that "corporate culture" he developed will have vanished like a fart in the wind.
I strongly dislike CEOs like this. We are not obsessed with your business like you are, it’s not our whole life. Family is our family, work is not our family.
This "initiative" (if you want to call it that) reeks of the abusive narrative parent-boss dynamics that sociopathic management have at some companies towards their employees.
I'm curious if Jeff actually made that shot. slowing it down, the basketball goes out of frame and I wouldn't be surprised if someone was down there lined up to take the shot once the ball hit the ground
If my boss ever visited my parents without consent they'd get found in the vague shape of a pretzel at the bottom of a dumpster behind a burning office building.
If my boss went and decided to visit my parents I would actively refuse and if they still visited them I would call the police and report them for trespassing under the Canadian Criminal Code. Like this is a blatant violation of privacy
Narcissist CEO: we care about our employees Also narcissist CEO: we’re going to find your parents and secretly meet with them cOmPAnY cULtUrE! Hurr durr 🙄
Yea it's pretty creepy and unnecessary unless you're giving them a huge bonus. no need to invade their personal space. why didn't you invite them on company grounds? would that be weird as opposed to showing up at their doorstep. Sounds more like a way to gather blackmail and learn how to manipulate your employees better. is it trying to get on a parent's good side so now you can say "not only am I disappointed in you, but if I have to let you go your parents will be upset that you let me down." Overall just a very weird thing to do.
I would have been outright horrified if I'd be keeping my job or not if I found out a CEO visited my family. My family is certainly one that would not hesitate to point out something negative or embarrassing enough that would affect my employment.
If an employee fall of the edge of the roof while trying to get the $250 bonus, does the CEO go visit the employee’s parents to announce the bad news to them?
Interesting how they all have both parents with nice homes that look in general to be living comfortable lives and nobody has a mom living in a dirty one room apartments with clutter all over the place and 6 cats.
Yeah, crazy how no parents are estranged, or in jail, or alcoholics, or have mental issues, or are a caregiver for an elderly parent or person with disabilities, they all just happened to have great lives and clean homes, almost like it was staged
I remember that a company told their supervisors to follow me around after work hours and observe me and then the boss afterwards made speeches disagreeing with everything I did after work hours. Basically these bosses are overpaid with no purpose for their existence, nothing to do, and then decide to bother people.
My previous boss told me, "Hey, I need to stay at your place for a week next month while I'm in town." Yes, this really happened. We're good friends though and he has an open invite. He has since before we worked together and since.
I think the reason why CEOs are so obsessed with "family" at the work place is because they treat their own actual families like a corporation just as their own family did before. Which is probably why so many of them are psychopaths. It's generational trauma of constantly needing to "live up to" the family's "legacy".
wow this video made me really appreciate my WFH job, i would die if my boss visited my parents, i would also probably die jumping off the building...not because of my balance but because i hated working for that company.
Seeing someone’s family and going into their house behind their back, sounds like something the villain would do in the third act of a psychological thriller. Genuinely creepy and unsettling.
as soon as my son or daughter arrived home I would offer to help them financially while they look for another job. I would tell them they need to quit and find other employment. That is weird and invasion of privacy to visit your family. Its even worse if this was planned and the employee and parents agreed to this.
I would say "Did you bring gifts? Ha ha." under the theory: Is it ever really a joke? They have more resources, unless the parents also happen to be CEOs, so bring gifts!!!
This is messed up on so many levels, it's insane. Firstly, the CEO assumes that everyone has a great relationship with their parents, and abusive or problematic parents just don't exist. Secondly, people should not be forced to share very personal details of their life, especially to someone who is in a position of power over them. I believe this is a huge privacy violation and I'd run away as fast as I could from that company

3 days visiting employees' parents. So who was running the company for those 3 days? Or maybe a CEO isn't as indispensable on a day-to-day basis as they'd have us believe. Hey, maybe CEO should be a part-time position with no benefits like other jobs that aren't needed every day at the company...
Not just 1 CEO, 2 CEOs driving 500 miles, 3 days, at the company's expense. Insane.
Imagine if a serious complaint had come in while this fool was cosying up to the parents of his employees. Bet that would go down like a lead balloon.
If an employee did that exact same thing to another employee they would be fired for stocking or harassment.
Creepy. What about the employee that wants to leave their childhood behind, grow up, become self reliant and build their own career? Involuntary hot air balloon parents.
In a few years his company will be out of business, his books will be pulped or remaindered, and all that "corporate culture" he developed will have vanished like a fart in the wind.
Don't worry, he'll make out with a million dollar payout though!

Frankly , if I was the parent , I would've held the CEO against their will and asked them to improve my child pay 100% 😂😂😂
I strongly dislike CEOs like this. We are not obsessed with your business like you are, it’s not our whole life. Family is our family, work is not our family.
The roof top stuff was just dumb and demonstrates that the CEO is low IQ and the company is probably a long term train wreck.
They should give an award for "most awkward photo your mom showed us thinking it was cute." Don't tell them what it was, just give them the award.
This is a very good way for the company to select for only a very particular type of employee.. No non-weirdos will apply now
That dis right out the gate with the fake advertising plug was cold bro 💀 You’re only getting stronger.
They had the jingly-jangly music on the video that makes it all okay.
What if your parents don’t want to meet with the CEO. It’s not like he’s paying them for their time.
This CEO is asking for a lawsuit and a black eye.
Its all fun and culture until one of the employees starts visiting the boss's wife 🤣
The basketball stunt is straight out of The Office. Can you imagine what their liability provider would say if they saw this video?
I bet the CEO has hidden cameras in the employee's bathrooms. That's how much he doesn't respect their privacy.
250.00 is not a substantial bonus, 250k is a substantial bonus. 😊
My parents would have some four-letter words with a few CEOs I have worked for.
This "initiative" (if you want to call it that) reeks of the abusive narrative parent-boss dynamics that sociopathic management have at some companies towards their employees.
Visit the parents ... It's so they can continue to treat their employees as children.
I'm curious if Jeff actually made that shot. slowing it down, the basketball goes out of frame and I wouldn't be surprised if someone was down there lined up to take the shot once the ball hit the ground
I would quit, this would be creepy
If my boss ever visited my parents without consent they'd get found in the vague shape of a pretzel at the bottom of a dumpster behind a burning office building.
If my boss went and decided to visit my parents I would actively refuse and if they still visited them I would call the police and report them for trespassing under the Canadian Criminal Code. Like this is a blatant violation of privacy
more and more dystopian
Narcissist CEO: we care about our employees
Also narcissist CEO: we’re going to find your parents and secretly meet with them
cOmPAnY cULtUrE! Hurr durr 🙄
Yea it's pretty creepy and unnecessary unless you're giving them a huge bonus. no need to invade their personal space. why didn't you invite them on company grounds? would that be weird as opposed to showing up at their doorstep. Sounds more like a way to gather blackmail and learn how to manipulate your employees better. is it trying to get on a parent's good side so now you can say "not only am I disappointed in you, but if I have to let you go your parents will be upset that you let me down." Overall just a very weird thing to do.
I would have been outright horrified if I'd be keeping my job or not if I found out a CEO visited my family. My family is certainly one that would not hesitate to point out something negative or embarrassing enough that would affect my employment.
Let me catch any "boss" of mine visiting my family while im on the clock.. gonna be flying off that roof, better use that money to buy yourself wings
If a CEO ever visited my family under any circumstances without letting me know first, and I find out, I'm putting in my two seconds.
If an employee fall of the edge of the roof while trying to get the $250 bonus, does the CEO go visit the employee’s parents to announce the bad news to them?
Companies basically treat OSHA citations and standards like parking violations. With complete disregard
Interesting how they all have both parents with nice homes that look in general to be living comfortable lives and nobody has a mom living in a dirty one room apartments with clutter all over the place and 6 cats.
Yeah, crazy how no parents are estranged, or in jail, or alcoholics, or have mental issues, or are a caregiver for an elderly parent or person with disabilities, they all just happened to have great lives and clean homes, almost like it was staged
Don't worry, if one of more parents aren't up to snuff, that employee will probably be let go (since their parents don't fit the company culture).
First thing I'd do is call a lawyer. Second thing I'd do is quit.
I remember that a company told their supervisors to follow me around after work hours and observe me and then the boss afterwards made speeches disagreeing with everything I did after work hours. Basically these bosses are overpaid with no purpose for their existence, nothing to do, and then decide to bother people.
Parents: "Oh, so YOU'RE the tyrannical boss my son keeps complaining about."
My previous boss told me, "Hey, I need to stay at your place for a week next month while I'm in town." Yes, this really happened. We're good friends though and he has an open invite. He has since before we worked together and since.
This is bizarre AND really creepy.
The roof sounds like an exhilarating place to try out my newest team-building exercise that I like to call "Jump To Conclusions!"
I think the reason why CEOs are so obsessed with "family" at the work place is because they treat their own actual families like a corporation just as their own family did before.
Which is probably why so many of them are psychopaths. It's generational trauma of constantly needing to "live up to" the family's "legacy".
An employer of mine does this and I'm visiting their parents, alright...
wow this video made me really appreciate my WFH job, i would die if my boss visited my parents, i would also probably die jumping off the building...not because of my balance but because i hated working for that company.
Holy crap. I’m hoping my company doesn’t see this. They’d probably think it’s a good idea. 🤦🏻♀️
Proof that CEOs have way too much free time
If a company did that, nothing that would embarrass my child would be on the table.
Bro, an overstepping of boundaries like this is how CEO's get punched out in the street
Why are Ceo's trying to act like capitalism cares about humanity
Seeing someone’s family and going into their house behind their back, sounds like something the villain would do in the third act of a psychological thriller. Genuinely creepy and unsettling.
as soon as my son or daughter arrived home I would offer to help them financially while they look for another job. I would tell them they need to quit and find other employment. That is weird and invasion of privacy to visit your family. Its even worse if this was planned and the employee and parents agreed to this.
Dam. I have never met my CEO, he is like a mythical figure.
I have never once given an employer my parents' contact information. So, are they stalking the parents online? I'm so confused. 😂
I mean it can be pretty easy to find if you know what you're doing.
I would say "Did you bring gifts? Ha ha." under the theory: Is it ever really a joke? They have more resources, unless the parents also happen to be CEOs, so bring gifts!!!
This is disturbing and yet there's people at my company who think this would be cute.
This is messed up on so many levels, it's insane. Firstly, the CEO assumes that everyone has a great relationship with their parents, and abusive or problematic parents just don't exist.
Secondly, people should not be forced to share very personal details of their life, especially to someone who is in a position of power over them. I believe this is a huge privacy violation and I'd run away as fast as I could from that company
what the ceo thinks:
"i am important and u better think so too :)"
