Boss gets praised for bringing business up to state regulations.
Lol yeah
Yeah adding vision is a state regulation 🙄so is an all-inclusive paid vacation.
@Stacey Menheart every reputable construction company will off dental and vision
@@joeposteraros and bathroom breaks
@harassed2002 yup.....usually as a minimum, it's 2 paid 10 minute breaks,(although 15 is usually the norm) and a half hour unpaid lunch, and go tk the bathroom whenever you have to go to the bathroom.....its not a prison ffs
Thats why I love this show. It shows just how disconnected CEOS and executives truly are from the low end staff.
Cause they don’t care as long as their pockets are stuffed they could care less
Yeah, but they don’t start out like that you know
How old is the times on undercover boss is that people have complained to the CEO of the company and for some reason sometimes the guys work underneath him or her don’t give her the message or him the message
Or maybe they do but the CEO is not realizing how bad it really is you know and how hard those people work their butts off
That’s why I like that they do that I wish the CEO of the grocery stores like Walmart or Costco even would go undercover and experience. What do employees have to go through every day and the fact that it’s probably hard for them to buy food because they jacking up the prices a little bit and a little bit until you have to pay five or six dollars extra do you know
Eventually, that’s not gonna be much of a discount because employees get discounts do you to buy their food well, their discount is not gonna be much of a discount anymore if they keep doing that.
Well, and not only that the customers to who love to shop at Costco and Walmart and those other grocery stores in Orillia and Barrie two as well, you know in Ontario in general
They’re jacking up the food price on everything since coronavirus and I don’t think that’s right because yes people are starting to go back to work and yes people are going back to making lots of money. But by the time they pay their mortgage and their gas bill, you know to fill up their vehicle and you know and the pay the Hydro MTV their cable your phone bill every month like nobody can afford to eat as well
So lots and lots and lots of people that make like $20 an hour go to the food bank because at the end of the month they don’t have money left they probably have only $100 or $200 well that’s not gonna feed them for a month you know Because of the food prices you spend over $200 in a day for food. So $200 is not gonna go anywhere much because once you buy your family food in the store, it probably cost you over $200 a week to get food
So yeah, that’s why I I am pissed at the CEOs of Walmart and Costco and the other grocery stores Zhars I can see I totally understand why that store is expensive because if you go in there it’s really fancy it’s a fancier store right so of course it’s gonna be more expensive to shop there because they have a deli counter. They have people that bake and cook as well, so yeah. But it’s not like Costco do you know even though Costco does have a restaurant and they do have chefs there that bake and cook as well it’s not any fancier in Orillia than any other Costco you know so I just don’t understand why they feel the need to cash in more money when people can’t afford to buy it in the first place
So yeah, that’s why I’m saying that you know it’s probably employees that have complained about the prices because the employees probably have a lot of frustrated customers that aren’t happy with the way the jacked some of the things up
Like there was a lady an older lady that was buying a big bag of chips all right that was the first thing she picked out was a huge big bag of chips because he probably didn’t have enough money to buy the healthier stuff so she probably just went to the back and got the chips and was going along to see what else she can afford to buy. There were a lot of people in the food section this time, but I can tell you most of them people had a lot more stuff for weeks ago you know the carts were full like overflowing pretty much because the prices were decent.
And then all the sudden boom they just jacked them up and so when they did that not too many people were in that food section and even the ones that work today you know
A lot of their carts weren’t overflowing like they used to be because they couldn’t afford that much stuff anymore. A lot of people were buying like very unhealthy things because the items that were not bad like the frozen fruits and vegetables do you know who are more expensive than you know
The the peas that are made in the chip forms do you know do you know them, crunchy chip peas you can buy, and they’re flavored. Yeah, those are both probably the healthiest thing to chips they can afford to buy.
Yeah, a lot of people are buying not very healthy things anymore because they’re fruit and they’re even there. Frozen stuff was pretty expensive depending on what you got but still it’s more expensive than it is in the grocery store
So a lot of people weren’t in that section at all. Like it’s stupid very very very stupid and I don’t understand that one bit.
So I just wish that whoever owns Costco in barrie or Orillia Sudberry, even you know it doesn’t matter who it is
I think if it’s a franchise and 17 or 18 people own different particles you know I think maybe 10 of them including the ones in barrie and Orillia should go on your cover and experience what it would be like to make a minimum wage and to do all the work they do every day and then see if they can afford to eat
Because I can certainly tell you the employees that work at Costco probably don’t have much of a discount because of how expensive the food is so their 10% or 20% off discount is probably more like eight or 9% off by the time they have to pay to feed their families or themselves even
So yeah, that’s why I like the show because I don’t think the boss really does care until he gets or she gets in and does the work and then find out how hard it is to actually do that job and then find out that they don’t get paid enough you know
Because a lot of them CEOs think you know it’s really not that big of a deal you know it doesn’t look that hard. It’s obviously not that I heard you were just complaining for the sake of it.
Well, it’s not until they getting to that position and oh my God those people that go undercover they’re really shocked of themselves and you can tell they sound very embarrassed of themselves. No, you can tell that they are really really ashamed of themselves, because
I like does CEOs that on Costco when they opened up that store, it probably wasn’t as hard for them you know, but then, as it gets bigger and bigger and bigger, you start to get a whole bunch of people, you know that you team up with to make your franchise bigger and then you stop doing the work as much and then you forget how hard it is to do it. So yeah it’s not that they get out there and it’s like why don’t really care you know he deserves to make minimum wage. I don’t care as long as the cash and you know.
Like no, they get to a point where they feel shamed and stupid that they let their employees feel hurt and feel down right because a lot of the people that get hired the CEO doesn’t realize that they’re cashing in on the peoples money including the customers money
And they don’t realize behind the scenes why they’re doing that job and they don’t realize the gravity of how important it is you know because a lot of them people are very hard on money. You know a lot of people come from countries that don’t have any training any background training and they just pick up on the job like that and they’re very good at it but
And then there’s some people that come off of drugs you know, drug addictions, and they’re trying to find their way in the world you know I need money to do that so yeah. They don’t realize that the work that they do for customers and for other employees to they don’t realize how important it is for them you know
It’s easier to say “do you know what I don’t give a fuck, as long as I got money to feed my family and to buy nice fancy vehicles and you know then, and it doesn’t matter what anybody else thinks”
Until they actually get into that position where it’s like“crap you know I can’t believe these employees. They work their butts off all day doing very, very very hard work, and you know this one employee man here she has a great attitude, knowing that her parents are not well and she has to work to provide for them you know “
Like they honestly feel like they’re a failure because because it seems like the CEOs of the company, love their family so much, and they forget that everybody else has families that need to be fed and looked after and provided for you know
A lot of elderly people to like young people in middle age people like they don’t realize that they are family members to that they need to provide for you know. They don’t realize that they’re trying to get their way in the world to end you know so it’s so easy just to be selfish until you actually get into that line of duty again and then it’s like damn what kind of CEO am I this isn’t what the company is represented at, you know this isn’t what Costco is supposed to be this is why I open Costco in the first place, you know
Sooooo I think they have that experience makes him realize that they have to do better at running their business you know, and making sure that the employees and the customers are happy.
I worked construction for 15 years, and can't count how many times there were no restrooms; which is illegal.
Same. I actually liked taking the trip to the bathroom cause it meant break time.
WOW
From landscaping to working as a general contractor sometimes there is no washroom. So you gotta pee in a bush or somewhere hidden. It sucks but thats life.
I pee on a lotta trees n truck tires n things
@@AdvEugyou saying you like hanging out in porta-shitters😂
Our ceo took 67,000,000 during covid 2019. And we can't even get a decent yearly raise 🙄
Really... That's just awful..🙏
Thanks...Yup corporate America
hey, your CEO worked hard for that raise!
Most likely he didn't. For tax reasons there's a lot of rich people that give themselves a Salary of 80K per month. Most their money comes in other forms. You want a raise and that's fine sure but really it does nothing for you. Let's imagine if every company gave out a 1 dollar raise to every employee. You'd actually have less money cause ALL those companies would raise prices to pay for that raise. Inflation is inherent to the system and that's the real problem
He knew that was boss and took his chance
Haha I kinda think so too 🤣
At least he did get vision for benefits and hopefully portapottys and water at all jobs. Vacations nice too but I feel like he coupdve done something more i guess lol
You don't say! With a camera crew following them around? These are all fake reality tv
@@yiannos7129 you obviously haven’t watched the show. They tell the employees they are doing a show about the industry and how to get hired in general
I like how he provides one free holiday to a single employee.... Like that will fix being away from home 90% of the time for other employees.... Sure it was nice he did this for this one guy. He could have also adjusted time scheduling so his employees were home alittle more then 10% of the time... It would kill off an on going issue.... This guy after that single holiday will go back to 90% of the time being away from home for god knows how many years...
There's no indication this is true. This is just for this employee.
Bro it’s a traveling employee
CEO-Screw them other bastards, you are getting a all paid vacation. They other guys who do the same work and have families. Theyre getting nothing. Now some lucky guy gonna have to fill your spot. But you get a all paid vacation. Gotta make me look good. After that. Gtfo of my life heee heee heeee. 😂😂
He's a hard-working man who deserves praise for the kind of work he does outside in the hot sun without cold water, who can't spend any quality with his family because of the workload he has to do, and with the CEO pretending to be an employee can learn what his employees go through daily, and appreciate them. You can't find good employees who would consider doing a job as this man does nowadays, for they're far and few between.
True, and the same goes for anyone that's never worked a job on the front lines. I think every person who works at the corporate level must work the low level jobs as part of their training to understand a different perspective.
Dude probably makes $35 an hour so I bet there is lines to do that job. 😂
Who needs a family when you have money?
Because people have learned it's just not worth it.
Dont drink cold water on hot days while your still. Working its really stupid
Good on this boss for taking care of what's been stated as lacking, hopefully he makes efforts to find other ways to improve conditions. It's just sad that this is what it took for him to address certain obvious things.
I think the problem is, when people do complain, the complaint usually doesn’t make it past like the first level of corporate, and then guys like the boss here, don’t hear about it.
@@nutterbutterpop8193 exactly. It becomes a situation where people stop even bringing up what's wrong cause middle management doesn't want to deal with it even if upper management would see it as reasonable. Most middle management just wants to work their 9-5 without worrying about things
Screw them other bastards, you are getting a all paid vacation. They other guys who do the same work and have families. Theyre getting nothing. Now some lucky guy gonna have to fill your spot. But you get a all paid vacation. Gotta make me look good. After that. Gtfo of my life heee heee heeee.
Both men seem like great gentlemen
(that's because the cameras were on)
We need more hard working blue collar people like this gentleman.
Nice one Boss, like my father he listened to his employees and that stayed loyal until he passed.
That brought tears of joy to my eyes. I wish more bosses were that considerate and compassionate. Happy, healthy and respected employees do better work.
No the boss is incompetent
I don't think he deserves praise for doing the bare minimum.
@Torrie Lindeblad you should really pull your head from the sand... and put away your entitlement while you're at it
@LMAO keep with that attitude and you'll find yourself alone and miserable
@@theoriginalkyttyn7724 I did not attack you personally. And I don't appreciate when you do it to me. However I am open to you pointing out my entitlement. For your information I live on $700 a month. That being said I realize just being white gives me a leg up. So if you can tell me how I am entitled without calling me names are being unkind I will definitely listen.
blackberry...
WOW...the boss is so nice and accommodating, going above and beyond, while the camera is on.
There needs to be more Bosses like this ❤Felt emotional at the end 👍🏾
Amen ✝️❣️🇺🇲💯🕺🥇
The very fact you praise him for doing the very basics, which are even provided in the Romanian hinterlands is so ludicrous, yet so Murican.
He is a wonderful employee very respectful and smiling the whole time and I know that’s very hard work his boss is awesome for what he’s going to do for the company and for this man I pray that your wife and you enjoy this vacation and many blessings more by the way where do you find a good good husband like this God bless😂❤ thank ❤❤❤❤
Wow! That’s amazing to have a wonderful boss. If all boss can be just like him, people will appreciate their boss and job. I did get a little emotion for this man and his wife.
Yeah, having a place to go shit is absolutely amazing. And only a hero could solve that.
Screw them other bastards, you are getting a all paid vacation. They other guys who do the same work and have families. Theyre getting nothing. Now some lucky guy gonna have to fill your spot. But you get a all paid vacation. Gotta make me look good. After that. Gtfo of my life heee heee heeee.
The boss knowing damn well hes to supply potable water and a bathroom, its law in michigan to provide both as a employer 😂
It is law pretty much everywhere but it was stated he was the new CEO and didnt have a chance to see how the sites were and corrected it.
@@rodneyhorsley8601 oh got you lol
Bathroom might be a law but not water
Glad he took care of a great employee that employee deserves way more for his work ethic but atleast hes gonna get some family time :)
Been in the "Trades" over 45 years and learned LONG AGO to bring a cooler with something to eat,to drink and EVEN TP because SO VERY MANY OUTFITS do the same thing as far as no water on the job and NO Port-a-Johns. The job is hard enough without having to deal with that sort of thing.
I wish more companies/ leaders cared that much about their employees to make those changes. It made me cry when he was given a vacation for him and his wife. My boss would never. GOD BLESS THIS COMPANY and This Wonderful employee❤
You gotta do something that separates you from your peers for that kind of treatment. I'm a niche construction guy and have built enough of a reputation based on my talents to have pretty much all the guys that employee me bend over backward to give me what I want.
Melvin had no idea what was up, with a camera man in his face🤣
What BS lol
People are extremely naive
Screw them other bastards, you are getting a all paid vacation. They other guys who do the same work and have families. Theyre getting nothing. Now some lucky guy gonna have to fill your spot. But you get a all paid vacation. So you enjoy that vacation and when you return. Enjoy the other pissed off dudes who do the same work. Last thing bud. Don't talk me after the camera is off. 😂😂
I would work with Melvin. He seems like such a nice gentleman.
Dude sure seems like he knows his way around a dozer
My favourite undercover boss employee. What a lad.
Boss man you made that employee happy but I could see in him that there is more you can do for him as he has done many hard working years for you already ....
Good hard working man, seems to have a really good heart, I hope he gets nothing but the best the world has to offer to him.
This one was heart warming.
A vision plan costs $10-20 retail. Employees generally pay the premium. So adding a vision plan to benefits is not a big deal unless the company is participating ie paying the premium or part of it.
Real Tittle: Boss knew what their employees didn't have and wanted to make a video of being undercover instead.
Funny how CEOs are clueless about employees need
How it undercover when they both have mics and the employee is completely aware of cameras just pointing at the boss
All ceo need to check on all employees
So you give him water, and a portajohn (which should just be a no brainer) but send him on a vaca to make up for it all? Kinda feel like it was a loss lol.
Cheap bosses. Away from home 90 percent of the time and he gets nothing.
The worker deserves a paid vacation because he's been a good employee working without essentials
Yeah how bout some real mf time off!!!
I'm guessing you didn't hear the part when he said he was the NEW CEO. He didn't know about any of that.
Don't blame him, blame the foreman.
"Be CareFA" love him
I always tear up when I see so many Americans toiling under bad conditions. They have to work!!
Mexicans would do the job for 1/8th the rate. Stop being dramatic.
@@thisguy73 Your talking about Mexicans working for less. Stop being a arrogant fool.
And pay tax so it be sent to other countries and make millionaire and those in power richer and not used for we the people
Man I had tears in my eyes looking at this
Amazes me that the head boss has to come down and play act to see what’s going on. Why not just visit your people constantly ask them the right questions and then you wouldn’t have to do this for a show.
That guy is awesome ❤
I don't know the employee's name, but what a friendly, friendly guy. Plus he has a good attitude. And I think that came through to his boss. Him and his wife NEED a nice vacation. Hard to find dedicated employees like that these days. Plus, the boss seems to be a pretty decent guy too, and thoughtful of his employees.
He had zero clue about how to do the job and was so clueless about what goes on that he didn't know his workers weren't even provided basic human needs like water and a place to use the restroom at job sites that the workers had to travel to, not even to mention the real threat of having to work with hostile animals. Yeah, great guy.
@@FuzzBucket69 Well, that is largely true, but when he found out about the work conditions, he rectified the situation. It seemed to me like he would be a pretty decent fellow to work for.
Wow..gave your guys water somewhere to shit and vision insurance. Lets roll out the red carpet >.>
A job is always good when your boss thinks of his employees and not just himself great people deserve great bosses.
We're so desensitized to how badly the average worker is treated, that we praise a CEO for showing basic humanity...smh
That's the kind of boss I would work for any day
It's bad that other large companies dont follow this video's lead. Large companies tend to loose track of field operations. Then they just loose good employees.
I agree. Way too many companies lose touch when the employees are their most valuable asset. Btw it's lose* not loose
He's working hard and I can't even get my employees to come to work.
Take away their porterjohn
Do you pay fair wages? Some jobs are not worth the extra hours
Pay better. Good ain't cheap, and cheap ain't good.
You are probably a bad boss.
@@pcbassoon3892 tbh with today's generation, you could be a good boss and they still won't work
Very good boss
Undercover boss clips always reminds me of the key and peele sketch.
How does the boss not know? It’s so weird this show like praises bosses for doing things that should have been done when they started 😂
Why doesn’t the ceo explain how he let the company get to such low standards
You should watch again. There's a bit where they mention he's new to the company and doing this to get a good idea of how things are in the field
That's awesome.
It always fucks w/ me the way they standing their "training" someone while someone w/ a camera watches them tell their life stories and noones like "wassup with the camera man?"
I’d hire Melvin in a millisecond.
They should be proud to have him.
O finally something good
Great CEO
was the portable toilet in the background one of the one's they don't have?
Beautiful heart 💘
Literally seen them drinking a bottle of water in front of a porta jon
He said that there weren't porta john's in *every* location.
Dark side phill finally got a job
Thats a good old blue collar guy with a work ethic..im a white collar worker but i respect and appr3ciate folks like this...dont get the respect theyee deserved for the back breaking stuff they do
love to see if in a year the changes actually happened and isnt usual corporate bs
Reminds me how the 7-11 executive swore he'd put in a system so food wasn't all thrown out but donated to local shelters and food banks, it never happened.
I was supposed to start a job for a tree cutting service when the boss told me I need to bring a cooler or something for water so I could have water to drink because they don’t have water to drink. Needless to say I didn’t show up because someone who doesn’t take care of their employees does not deserve employees
love these types of ending but would love to see a follow up like a year from then?
Wow vision insurance, vacation, Porto potties all thing’s he should have.
No vision coverage?
Thats the cheapest medical coverage for a company 🙄 its like $15 a MONTH for a company
Fucking and?
He had to add the water and bathrooms after this lol
I would bring my own water if I worked in that kind of work, but I would not be happy if there were no bathrooms.
Here is your paid vacation…Don’t tell any of the other employees they may get mad.
So many companies can learn from this.
When I got promoted to local manager for a nationwide service company, my regional boss told me, "Dude, go buy your guys a few cases of water and keep the fridge stocked."
Take care of your people and they'll take care of you!
I love reading through the comments and seeing people who have obviously not listened to the vid make comments. He states he is new and is trying to fix the previous owners mistakes yet so many comments assume he has always been the owner.
Solid boss, I’ve seen ALOT worse.
The black berry killed me 😂🙌🏽
What man doesn't bring his own water when working outside. That was the first thing I learned
theres no way these people dont know they are on this show with the cameras and the way they just spill every company secret right away to a brand new random goofball XD
How often does a new hire show up at the jobsite with a camera crew and no one questions what is going on ? I NEVER had a camera crew in Orientation or come along on a test ride in the cab when I road-tested new hires. There would be questions asked....
Ceo decided to go up to standards of water and bathroom and we are supposed to think he's the good guy here..?
Oh wow, a whole vacation!! The man needs money..
i fk wit uncle MEL
He could've threw him a few dollars
They hired Kenny Powers to go undercover
Not surprising that a company in Texas (a right to work state) doesn't even provide water or a place to go to the bathroom. The governor took away water breaks for the state employees fixing roads, etc.
It sounds like only that one employee gets a single paid vacation with expenses included. The rest of the changes were sweeping, benefitting all of the employees. The new boss failed to address perhaps the most difficult and most important pain point of that job, being away from your family. 90% of the time? That is crazy and a single vacation for one man (and his wife) does nothing to fix it.
I wish he’d come to my job , I work in a all inclusive resort and we get to use the bathroom in a non ventilated box that always smells like urine and crap as well but the director gets his own private bathroom as far as the water goes we get to not grab any although they bottle water bottles from a cenote which means they pay little next to nothing to bottle it up.
Sure he “didn’t know” they all know exactly what is going on.
As a guy who lives in the northeast i keep forgetting that we have alligators in this country, worst thing I've dealt with is a bear
I work in law enforcement. We don't get breaks. Like at all. It's considered legal.
That boss is a hero. If I left the vacation to my wife, she would either say Norway, Australia, or Europe, so be careful on that.
Repeat after me:
Europe. Is. Not. A. Country.
(and Norway is in Europe...)
The boss knows the working conditions and only deals with a problem when it becomes a legal matter.
If a boss doesn't know the working conditions, then they should not be in management at all.
At which point they make changes that come as close to breaking the law as possible and a year or so later said changes are reverted until another complaint occurs
Its against OSHA regulations to NOT HAVE porta johns at job sites
Where am I going to go play on my phone for 5 hours a day without a bathroom. This is the first true company violation
Stupid that a work place can’t provide a bathroom or water for it’s employees
Not gonna make more money. But we got you on vacation.
One year later and things will be back to exactly how they were. Like I said these shows a few people will get some free stuff a few people be punished and the overall average worker gets absolutely nothing
He’s the new CEO wasnt his fault
Why would they be back to the way they were if he's the new boss people didn't make it that way in the first place
They make changes after the show.... people are happy they think the world's improving then they remove the changes because people have moved on to the next thing.
It costs money to have a portapotty at a work site you have to pay to have them emptied and filled with necessities
No company is willing to tolerate that forever. They give out benefits for a TV show and placate us as viewers but it's not long until they take it all away even if workers bring that to our attention we've already forgotten it because Justin Bieber is getting a sex change or another more interesting story arises
@@harassed-ou2zb well I'm no expert but don't work sites have to provide sanitary places on site for bathroom breaks
Uncle ruckus real
If that's the case, he should fire himself.
Dude i litterally seen a porta john in the backround and the dude brought him water... Misleading title??
👏👏👏👏❤️❤️
AC PORTA POTTY
I wpuld refuse that vacation offer and quit the job right in his face.
Melvin has a nice accent, i wonder where he is from.
A place without essentials, apparently.
My mother was from S. Carolina and she said,"I tell you" also😊😊😊
In real life he is from Jamaica
Most bosses give there employees money he gives him something he can write off on his taxes he didn’t care about his employees he cared what they thought of the job
