I work as a security guard and at most sites, there isn’t a bathroom on site or a nearby place (like a gas station) with one to use. If there was one, you’d have to call dispatch and wait for a roving supervisor to come to the post and wait while you went to use the facilities. Problem is, the supervisor usually took…

My ex-wife worked in a place that provided a FUD- a female urination device- a fancy funnel so she could use the provided urinal that didn’t have any sort of privacy shield around it

It’s reality TV, everything is scripted.  I assume the corporate PR for each company basically goes over what they want to see in the episode and the producers write the script and deliver it to the poor peons working the counter at whatever franchise location is unlucky enough to be closest to where the CEO lives. 

And this guy’s solution was to form a task force to deal with it? He’s the damn CEO, he could change the timetables immediately if he wanted to! 

Yeah that's the only one I've seen but it was horrible. I couldn't believe what I was watching. That dude was such an asshole.

They did one at Bikini’s Bar and Grill where you can tell the show was expecting a Hooters thing where they’re shocked. Nope, the CEO fired a girl who just wanted to be allowed to wear a t-shirt and paid for someone’s boob job.

Musk and Zuck are two different beasts. Musk has a cult of personality, Zuck almost everyone wants to get rid of but he engineered the board so he's impossible to boot, and Facebook has done a great job of buying out (domestic) competition. So then we got stick with TikTok and it's Chinese overlords controlling our…

I remember the Hooters episode. A couple of things stand out: First, they actually showed the factory where they make the sauce for their wings. There’s a shot of a bunch of disgustingly viscous, day glow orange sauce being extruded out of a tube. I was shocked that they would actually allow them to show something…

A good version of the show would force the boss to live on the wages he gives his lowest employee for a year.

That’s what “primetime network TV” was supposed to convey.

Nobody worships Zuckerberg.  I've seen countless people just retch when his name comes up.  Musk though... yeah that's different.  There is a cult around him.

Boss probably hits a wider demo, so there’s that.

Never. Force the rich to live the lives of their lowest paid workers, nice and legal (after impeaching and firing all judges installed by fascist or oligarch presidents) and redistribute their wealth equally to their workers.

Interesting. Would this tax, perhaps, charge a larger percentage the more money one made? You know, progress through higher percentages?

Definitely. I think a wealth tax would be great to redistribute the wealth for better public services (healtb care, infrastructure, etc.) and to decrease the vast gap between the rich and poor. I mainly say my comment, because some people I know think CEOs are the only hardworking and innovative people in the world…

It’s an absolutely disgusting TV show. The episode they did on Hooters was REALLY something else, as the CEO was absolutely stunned to see one of the restaurant managers engage in sexist behavior towards his employees. The whole “I would have never expected something like this at a Hooters of all places,” completely…

Upon realizing the female garbage collectors are forced to pee in a can during their shifts thanks to a brutal timetable...

Thing is, if we forced them to use their money we could solve a lot of the world’s problems. Maybe some sort of tax?

Fox and Friends are just for certain old conservatives, Undercover Boss is primetime network TV and much less obviously toxic propaganda.

Great article! You kind of forget about Undercover Boss, because its reputation has kind of made it blend in to the background of the TV landscape. Which is unfortunate because it should really be called out on its bullshit. This is why you get disgusting CEO worship, like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, a whole cult wi…
