Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
O2D They put these bosses in terrible wigs and no person would ever be able to spend 1 minute around these idiots without mentioning or staring at the wig. The bosses rarely have a clue what their company actually does and all but one person who works for them has a hard luck story. There's always one employee that gets fired and the rest get 20k. This is a classic CBS crapfest.
owen9825 It's curious to see the interplay between the high-flying bosses and the enthusiastic junior employees. Often the bosses are unfit to do the jobs and often they are just going about the motions, not even pretending to be worried that their menial job is on the line.I don't know whether to blame the show or the culture of North America, but I find it distasteful when the bosses reveal themselves and give out gifts at the end. Having a CEO tell you that you did a really good job should feel special; that's all that really needs to happen. Instead, they want to out-do Oprah and give employees holidays, cars etc. I once even saw one of these bosses give a worker 2 promotions. How does one keep morale in the rest of the team when they know that just because the boss stumbled across this guy, he got promoted from under them to above them?The problems revealed are often along the lines of "yeah, this has been a problem for a while, but management doesn't care". Going undercover shouldn't really be necessary for that kind of problem.
Zelly Kurtlen Instead of picking a few at the end of show to advertise what a great boss they are? These are usually minimum wage jobs. The workers are treated poorly, while the CEO's profit enormously from the workers under-paid labor and shoddy working conditions. Is the public so mal-informed as to think any of these bosses truly give a blank about anyone but themselves? One shudders to see this show has garnered "awards.' Sad, sick commentary on a society with such enormous income inequality. An inequality that has never been seen in our history. I wonder how these workers support their families. How do they the send their kids to college? How to they survive from week to week?
Stephen Schaffer During these tough times it's nice to see a show that is made in an effort to put the masses at ease. For many years I personal have said that most boss figures in companies have lost touch with what really goes on with front line business. This show is now putting those leaders to the test and it proves that many are not qualified to work in their own companies. It was a very touching episode, and the boss for the premier was very likable...however about 50% of the show seemed staged. I would have felt better if there had been some more honest interaction. On a final note... I do feel that this show has some very good qualities and I actually feel that the boss from the pilot was quite sincere about making changes for the better in policy for his front line workers.
