      you must be jocking since that show has like 10 seasons and has also different countries versions, like undercover boss canada, UK and they have at least like 3 seasons each. not sure if they ever get to make a latin american version or whent beyond pilot level but there is tons. i would like you to do one that is not horrible but its really good and nice. the CEO realizes his company is going bad because he spanded it beyond what his dad wanted to (it was a small local brand son wanted to make it the next walmart) and apparently stop growing the thing and did give meaninful prices to the people involved in the episode. they even steal on the store he visits and he makes sure to get a brand new security system and security guard in place, as well to make sure put in place a new official rule that if your store is beeing stealed, you go to the back to a secure room and let the robbers and local police enforcement to deal with it, not the employees not even the security guard. is undercover boss (USA) season 7 episode 03 you can find it on daily motion and i have a remastered version if you like.

      @@kylemendoza8860 Odds are a large business like this is structured as a C Corp and pays a tax rate of 21%. Every dollar spent is a tax deduction of 21 cents so they’re still losing 79 cents. I didn’t mention that wages also pay additional payroll taxes which ends up being about 11% of the wages for a high turnover company like this.
      My real opinion is that a lot of business owners don’t value their employees. They treat wages like any other expense and will do everything they can to make it as low as possible. Many even enjoy negotiating a lower pay to make them feel like smart entrepreneurs. You can try to fight it, but odds are they have leverage since it’s a lot easier to find a replacement than to find a new job. In the meantime they can force the work on the other employees and may make the additional workload the new standard!

Pretended his employees still had their benefits (medical insurance, etc) when they didn’t, and didn’t pay them for weeks. He resigned, they never got their money, and he’s probably not going to face any consequences for it. Do you know how many CEOs do this? More than you think.

No, not for the majority, they game the system, they use their money to take advantage of loopholes to make more money by taking advantage of our ultra capitalist society and we who live under its profit driven nature. Do you know why billion dollar companies pay little to no taxes? Because they have enough money and power to take advantage of the system, and their employees.

Because they have enough money to start a new company, buy one or several other options, and you know how they are helped to facilitate this? They use their employees! They take their money back, or however much they may need to start over from the employees! Or they save money by firing a percentage. You know Red Box, the dvd rental company, owned by the Chicken Soup Soul grifters? They recently went under and that CEO fucked those employees hard, lied and said they had benefits (medical, etc) when they didn’t and lead them on for weeks making them think they were going to get paid. Then he resigns and made off with their money they were owed, and many are fucked because they had major medical procedures they thought were covered. Guess what? That CEO will probably never face consequences because our capitalist society is designed to protect the wealthy. Why do you think wealthy people, billion dollar companies pay little to no taxes? Loopholes in our system, designed to benefit the wealthy, and these CEOs take full advantage of it, as well as take advantage of the working class so they stay above them. Fuck your sympathy for CEOs, they will do everything they can to stay above us and fuck us over to do it. Speaking of Covid, do you know how many CEOs committed fraud with the PPP loans? So many that the government has stopped pursuing them! All those company owners that frauded the government out of TRILLIONS of dollars are going to get away with it, because our society allows this to happen and the government is complicit. I’m telling you, CEOs, the majority of them, are going to fuck everyone and get theirs before they ever become working class, they’ll do anything to keep that from happening rather than work like a regular person.

Like maybe if you work at Microsoft and Bill Gates comes in wearing a crappy wig, that’s a thing.
    But when the lady who works the front desk of a Days Inn or whatever goes “oh I think this dude with gray hair and a clean shaven face is our CEO because I saw him on the cover of the corporate magazine that was in the break room one time, even though he normally has black hair and a beard,” I call BS

You might as well have bought him a document to name a star after him for all the difference its gonna make in his life. fuck right off with that one, I'd be so done. You would not catch me at that job tomorrow.
    Edit: to those of you talking about the tax right off I'd get. Tax write offs can reduce your owed tax to zero, but cannot add to your refund. how much do you think the manager at hooters owes in taxes? willing to bet it aint much, so that's still a dogwater thing to do. a tax write off is not a gift either, you gain nothing. that guy sucks.

I worked minimum wage and got constant abuse. So many times, the girls would toss tin plates in the dish pits, like LITERALLY toss them making a bunch of racket. One time, after that happened, I took the same plates, followed the girl who threw them, and banged them together over her head like an alarm clock. When she turned around shocked, I said "Oh, I'm sorry, did that hurt your ears?! Because I figured you love that sound!!" Thankfully, she and the others got the message. I could go on and on with other BS I dealt with, but this comment is long enough.

      To be fair it happens to men to. If you have a sub par sports team it's called putting out an inferior product. Let's not act like women don't sexualize themselves all the time for profit. Singers, strippers, only fans, waitresses , etc. it sounds bad when it's said out loud but the girls working there know exactly what they are doing lol it's not like they are like "wait what? You mean some men come here to look at us in our skimpy uniforms? I didn't know that " 😂😂 we are adults here let's not play dumb

    So hold up? At 2:10, the Ceo said Hooters was founded so that "six guys can grab a beer and not get thrown out."
    So, how drunk and rude do you have to be? To where the ONLY way you can grab a beer and not get tossed out is to start a restaurant?
    Like, holy cow, I've grabbed many of the occasional beers at many a bar since I was 21, and I'm a pretty big dude. NOT getting kicked out of bars is pretty easy to pull off.
    Especially if you don't act like a jack-ass and treat the staff and other customers like crap.
    Like that's a whole level of extra creepiness to Hooters right there. I feel extra sorry for the women servers there :(

    That 1993 plane crash was heavily understated. That plane crash killed Alan Kulwicki, the 1992 Nascar champion. It is regarded as one of the most unfortunate crashes because it only had those people on it because Alan shocked the world by winning the title the previous fall. Heavily recommend watching documentaries on him and his death

      As a kid (when i was still a girlie, abt 10-12) my dad would take me there and they were often really nice ladies and my dad never flirted with them like a creep, but i remember feeling gross about the actual idea once it occured to me what the gimmick was. But at the same time, after a few minutes of sitting there and talking to them, i found myself completely entranced and smitten almost. It was like entering a gray zone or something.
      Then once we left and i came down, i felt like a gross objectifier 🤢 it's devious work (i still like women tho so IDK maybe it helped figure that out at least)

      I am as Christian as the next guy, value modesty and all that. But I'm not so sure if the women at hooters have it that bad. Hooters waitresses get tipped extremely high relative to other restaurants, and the waitresses are in high demand for catering.
      A young woman can waitress at hooters two nights a week, and make the same about as an Applebees waiter who works 5 full shifts a week.
      There is a huge pay gap between male waiters and hooters waitresses. Time for the old ladies to tip the guys more. Equality!

I would love to see you do this type of video for the episode at the timeshare Diamond where the "boss" paid off houses and college funds, revealed his identity when a worker was messing up, getting told that he wasnt fit for the job...etc it is one of the best episodes on the show. I believe its a fan favorite, so much that they had him come back for another episode when he bought out another company. Theres also some really good episodes with people being fired on the spot for their behavior, that was actually less grotesque than Jimbos actions. Overalll great video!
