The fact he didn't even bother to meet or acknowledge the new employee who came in for the day says everything.
his face after he was asked really tells the story too
Yep. Absolutely. Even in the crappiest jobs I've worked, the boss has tried to at least introduce themselves to me when I start. A whole WEEK with nothing? What the hell.
Was thinking the exact same thing.
@Tracy Askew, just look at the expression on his face when the CEO is talking to him and his answer "Sure." Idk if he is just scared out of his head or if he's thinking how he looks, "Man this is such a waste of my time..." Then he just "bobble-heads" when asked "Can I count on you to get that done?"
That's how cats are at Amazon.
I could tell that Kevin needed to be fired. Not leadership material. You need to care for your team so they care for the company. Kevin seems like he's got a stick shoved way up there.
He didn't even meet the new hire, he obviously doesn't care about the people that work there.
I work for a pretty big corporation, around 30k people, and I've met every manager up to the ceo.
If you want people to be passionate about their work and help the business succeed the first thing you have to do is connect with them as a person and help them succeed.
If it's not a stick, he had something else that rhymes with stick up there.

@@SilverBackCeasar7414 Head doesn't rhyme with stick :D :D
His problem is he is completely lazy.
He should have been fired, point blank. It's completely illegal to take any hours or minutes worked away from employees.
Not in all cases
Under the FLSA, may I dock an employee’s pay as a disciplinary penalty?
May 25, 2022
Although it is discouraged by many experts, employers may in some circumstances dock pay to penalize an employee for violating a written policy.
While an employer cannot refuse to pay a nonexempt worker for hours that the employee has worked, the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) does not prohibit employers from reducing a nonexempt worker's hourly wage rate as a disciplinary action as long as the reduction does not drop the employee's pay below minimum wage. However, many state wage payment laws require an employer to provide advance notice of wage reductions and employers may need to apply a reduction in pay to future hours worked rather than retroactively.
I think it's fucked up but depending on the employee and the state and other factors, it can be done legally. But if you think an employer is acting improperly, pursue it with the labor board or an employment lawyer. We need to stop letting companies get away with skirting the law v
@@batkat0 exactly since he said that taking 2 minutes off for every minute they’re late isn’t their policy if I’m right you could sue him for doing so unless you’re really late every shift or something because I’m sure if you did sue and win you’d probably only get enough money from it to pay for your legal fees and the money back for the time you had docked but I’m no lawyer so idk and like you said they can pay you less per hour in some cases as a penalty but I’m pretty sure that’s not what he was doing he was probably just writing down how many minutes they were late and taking it off their time cards before it goes to their payroll department which technically like you said means they weren’t paid for all the time they worked and i could definitely see someone winning in court especially if you took videos or something if you clocking in everyday since those time card machines show that the same for when you clock out so they could add up all your time and see you didn’t get paid for ____ minutes or total hours you worked but like I’m said I’m not a lawyer maybe you could win a ton of money for emotional damage or something saying you need every penny for every hour you work to scrape by and it’s affected your mental health and wellbeing when you shouldn’t of been having to worry as much or at all if you worked docked all these hours over time if your late 10 minutes everyday that’s almost an hour every week say you make $10 an hour over 52 weeks that adds up to a few hundred and if this has been happening and you’ve worked their for 20 years that’s thousands of dollars
@K Bat this policy doesn't apply here. What he is doing is deducting time they actually worked from their time cards, i.e. not paying them for time worked which is blatantly illegal.
@Kdbattista thats not docking pay, that's getting a reduction in pay as a result of disciplinary action.
Kevin is the type of supervisor that everyone quits because of
He resembles mine except mine is just an A-hole to whoever he chooses and has favoritism with others. I just don’t acknowledge him when he complains about anything either
I’ve had at least 3 different verbally abusive managers in my life. But the worst trauma I got was when I became (like an idiot) a calling sales person for a company my dad worked for. After I quit I had trauma about calling people on my phone.
A few years later I took a job at a portrait place thinking I could rise in the ranks and become one of their photographers! .. They put me in costumer service. And this place basically scammed their costumers at all times. I now have full PTSD about talking on the phone. Only the absolute need to use it or a loved one calling will get me to talk on the phone. *shiver*
And there’s many Kevin’s out there. Many, many.
He’s not so super. More like, visor. Just visor.
Yep, similar situation at my previous place of employment, amongst other things.
Kevin is not going to change nothing. He has an attitude that needs a fixing. Being fired will help with that.
The "sure, sure." While his boss is still talking is insane to me.
Fired isn't the word I was looking for.
It usually doesn't. It just makes them bitter.
I was terminated from a company after helping earn them 3 insurance awards for safety and got their workers compensation down almost 500k in 4 years. They let me and my assistant go to do better for the safety of the employees. Within 6 months of us being booted they had two fatalities and two major amputations and made front page news. At least this guy is making positive changes for the employees.
Omg that's awful!
Oh wow, that’s sad.
That's freaking sad 😢
This is not exactly the same, but within 2 weeks of my firing from 7-11, because I was tricked, while on Workman's comp, they were robbed. It was cop central, when I worked there...🤨
Something very similar happened to me. My company was good to me so I was good to them. I moved up through the company and caught the attention of our contractors. They offered me a spot that was a huge promotion. When I took it, the company gave my work truck to my replacement. Not even 26 months later, that truck got a flat tire.
Craziest shit ever.
That's actually illegal to dock pay like that. She could sue big time and report that
Not back then
Wasnt pay getting docked, it was time you have for lunch
It's not illegal to do something like docking pay 1:1 for time missed working, or even rounding up 8 minutes of tardiness to 15 minutes (close to 1:2 pay dock ratio).
_Probably_ even legal to just have an outright 1:2 rule (if that is the rule; we don't know that, she just said it), since for small amounts of time under 15 minutes it's still what's considered "reasonable", and usually "reasonable discretion" is what the employment laws include.
Where are you specifically getting the claim that it's illegal from? maybe in your specific state or country perhaps?
The US Federal Government logs time in 15 minute intervals. If you’re one minute late, you’re 15 minutes late. If you’re one minute early, you’re on time.
-Former Fed Manager
@@MsHojatno way. Even if this is present in state laws, companies would probably rather not make themselves liable. Do you have sources for this? To which state or states do you refer?
Uh you can see by the look on his face that he didn't like it. Teasing and bullying employees is his bread and butter that keeps him alive. That's the kind of employees no boss wants to have in his business, he's destroying the business.
Edit: Wow 1k likes, thank you!
Yeah, he didn't like it because he's not saying WHY he has to have a time clock policy like that. There's usually a reason for everything.
Apparently the boss was too much of a wuss to fire him.
@@wilsixone and it's not legal
The devil works hard to torture folks but vindictive middle management works harder.
@@Serai3 Maybe on camera, but i hope he fired him later.
The fact he wasn’t fired or at least disciplined is astonishing
I actually appreciate that the president gave him a second chance to fix things. But I also do think that some discipline is in order. Kevin probably feels relieved that he didn't lose his job, so someone needs to keep an eye on him at least.
@@Some_Electric_Boi there’s limits though. That’s insane.
He never answered him did he ?
It might be a 2 strike company policy towards management firings, the barely perceptible nod of acknowledgment tells me he knows his days are numbered
You don’t know what happened afterward by watching this short clip
It’s hard to tell from a short clip, but Kevin’s response to the boss asking if he could count on him was weak.
Probably TV drama
Kevin doesn't have the experience to maint that job. That's why he impliments shitty rules. Kevin overstepped his position by implementing that 2 minutes for every minute rule as this is against employment laws, which would tarnish the ceo. Not Kevin.
Don't be like Kevin. Don't lie on your cv.
I know the 30 minute lunch in most industries is important but if they take 31, 32 or a couple minutes longer they shouldn't be penalized
@@cliffcorson4000 or they could come bacl 1 or 2 minutes early. Why should yhe company suffer because you are lazy? Don't like it then leave.
@@hankhill4542 If all takd lunch at same time it's not always possible
Also the "manager" was violation company policy and also never left his office
He's the one to be fired or need to go
The fact that he didn’t fire him there proves he’s just as bad as a manager. It’s not just lunch it’s constantly watching them
Well, you're not all wrong but you do have to remember there's a nuance to discipline. The COO decided to respond and not react. That's quality leadership right there. Take notice of his body language towards Kevin. Take note of the words he chose to use with Kevin. He's warning Kevin without actually coming right out and saying "Listen dickhead, I saw some shit I didn't like and that's all gonna change chop chop, you feel me?"
Now that he has sent that message, it's pretty much a guarantee that he WILL be following up on Kevin and his behaviors after this to check up on him and if he gets out of line again despite being "warned", then there will be more formal consequences.
That COO handled the situation remarkably well.
@@BigDaddyJinx I agree with you to a certain point, but that COO went to the p*ssy school of management which is good for use in office environments, not blue collar industrial labor. I've worked those jobs, and the managers there are hired because they ARE a**holes so they can rule the floor and be hated jerks. You cannot change blue collar managers, they will always revert back to their default setting. Also, the fact that he's constantly watching the cameras instead of doing more productive work himself and walking the floor occasionally would be enough for me to realize that he has no interest in his caring for his own people and operation.
“Can I count on you to get that done?”
…. “You’re not the boss of me.”
That would be a “NO”. He doesn’t give a f**k. Demote him.
@@FemaleDallasTexasmore like replace him or he'll continue to make the company and employees miserable.
@@FemaleDallasTexas 🤣
Exactly Jack. Both are jokes.
The look on his face said , NO
Even with only this short clip, I can tell Kevin was on a crazy power trip at that place.
Possibly. Realize in reality TV they can make the story be anything they want it to be. One thing is for sure, the CEO type will always come out looking good. Company will not allow the filming without that. Kevin could be a total POS, who knows but that industry (reality TV) can literally make Mother Theresa look like satan incarnate.
The problem with most managers, they get that title and think they can do whatever they want.
Kevin needed specific instructions from the owner.
There's no guarantee that he "can be counted on to get that done" in a reasonable manner.
He gives the impression in this short clip that he may be covertly vindictive toward employees after this reprimand.
The owner needs to continue to monitor the treatment of employees at that site as long as Kevin is in a position of authority.
I completely agree with everything you said. Will find some insignificant small thing to fire her for or someone else because he's angry.
Or just make your life a living hell. Then you end up quitting.
Kevin will be reviewing video to see who interacted with the boss. There will be retaliation, even firings. The lady featured in this video is for sure unemployed immediately.
@phlodel if that's the case, she can sue the crap out of him and even get all his paychecks. Retaliation(at least where I live) is highly illegal in our labor laws.
Agree. Sadly.
He didn’t get fired? Or demoted? That’s messed up! I run a small business, and we do lots of manual labor. I’ve always believed that no one should be given a management position without having worked the positions they are managing, and having done every single task that they’ll be putting on their team. You can sufficiently lead a team to do something you don’t understand the ins & outs of, yourself. I also never understood the system we use for promotions, either. We take the best workers away from what they’re great at, make them do something else, and pay them more. Why not pay them more for doing what they’re great at and hire someone else who’s good at the other stuff you were “promoting” them to. It makes no sense to take your best, say, installer away from installing and put them in an office. Just pay them more to do what they’re doing. ?? Then you don’t have a bunch of new people coming in and out that you’re having to train, nor do you have your best worker in a different job. Idk… that’s just me.
You’re right but it’s the Kevins that get promoted in management usually.
Except there is burnout. If an employee is exceptional and shows interest in other aspects of operations they should NEVER be denied the chance for change...
I share your opinion to 100%. I myself did work myself up from production to maintenance, spare parts and I ended up managing the maintenance department and the training department as a result. Knowing what the people actually have to do in their daily jobs makes you more considerate in your decision making, helps you understand the team you work with and in the long run it’s a win. People will most likely not leave and you have a strong team to count on and this is what makes a business long lasting.
This happens at my work I run my branch pretty successfully everyone is happy but I get alot of the new starts to train so the moment there training is done and if there any good immediately they are sent to other branch and I get sent back the boys that don't want to work or care about targets what annoys me the most is I show them how to do the jobs and the money that we can all make in doing great work but nope not interested so they walk away with barely minimum wage when they could be making upwards of 2.5k a month am lost on why they don't want that money then they complain because am paid over the 2.5k and its not even hard for them to earn the higher wage they just want to come in do the littlest work they can do and go home
It depends on the business though, I mean if I’m a manager at a hospital should I know how to do surgery? You think construction managers are all electricians and plumbers and pipe fitters etc? I get what you mean though bro
That's the face of someone who cannot be counted on to get it done. That's not someone who made a mistake, that's someone who knows he got caught. He needs to go.
😂I worked for a company as a temp once and the mgr went on a weeks vacation leaving a guy under him in charge. He set a few new rules for the employees. I was to cold call all the new applicants and asked if they would go over their policy and see if they agreed with their answers They gave earlier on their first meeting about the policy and ask questions. He asked questions that would trip them up to catch someone who may have not told the truth to get the policy. Also, I realized that every time t walked down the hall to use the restroom , one of his assistants would follow me. She would just stand there and take notes about my activities. (I brushed my hair, washed my hands,) etc I finally asked her if she was following me on purpose. She said he required her to follow everyone to make sure they were doing bathroom things and not playing around.
Also, he followed me into the supply room every time I went in there for a pen or pencil. He said i
had to “check out every pen, pencil, box of paper clips etc. no one could take two of the items, just one. Another thing , If she noticed I was talking, she would come stand and listen to the conversations to make sure it was business related.
When the mgr came back from his time off , he called me in to his office to see if I enjoyed working there. I was dumbfounded until I realized he had no idea his assistant did the things he did. He asked me how things went and I asked “do you really want to know”? He had no idea what the guy did. He said yes so I told him how the guy treated me .He asked if he still had his notes and I said yes. After I let him know everything, he called him into the office and we all heard yelling and he came out red faced, went to his office, packed his briefcase and left the building. He was fired. He had something wrong with him.
He didn't even bother to introduce himself to his newest employee. He is the plant manager.... they say "people don't leave bad jobs, they leave bad bosses" and this guy isn't going to keep people. I'm pretty sure that would be illegal to dock pay like this.
Giving him a second chance after all that is a problem within itself 😢
So many times the top executives have no idea how bad the hard grafters at the bottom are treated. Shielded from them by numerous layers of useless middle management, and closed door policies.
Kevin docked everyone 5 minutes for being 1 minute late after that meeting
I like how she clocks back in from lunch and goes back to eating, can't blame her though.
@Astro77, bro she was tryna get back her previously docked minutes, showing the "new guy" how it's done!😄Nice Jupiter pic with ole "red-eye!"
The kind of boss you hate to work for, who watches everything your doing and can't wait to penalize you every chance he gets, making your life miserable on every level, and no way you can count on him to get anything done that he doesn't want to change!
Watching how these poor workers have to separate the plastics and cardboard like piecework should be a lesson for all ppl to be conscious of what they're throwing away in the trash bins. I have a lot of respect for these workers.
That guy probably couldn't even do the jobs of those employees working on the floor. I know the office idiots at my previous place of employment couldn't, yet they were the ones making up rules LOL. I flat out told them, until they can put themselves in a store, and do our jobs, they aren't to be making any rules or any standards.
The barber: "How do you want your side burns?"
Kevin "No."
Lmao
Sometimes labor laws do get enforced. On my last job, management was extremely strict about attendance and punctuality. If you clocked in late, you got written up. Three write ups, fired. Suddenly things changed. We had a company meeting where changes were announced. 7 minutes grace period for every time punch. Employees were forbidden to clock in from lunch with less than 30 minutes meal period. You didn't get paid for the time you were late but you wouldn't get punished either.
Umm not being paid is the punishment
Not trolling just saying😊
I mean a bit of leeway is fine, but I'd say after the 2nd time of someone being late then something needs done...having people late all the time becomes a bad habit and needs to be corrected, but the occasional being late a couple times a year is fine....I worked at my previous place of employment for 7 years, and was never late, was also never off on time either but it all added up to additional hours and overtime quite frequently though LOL....I only called in one day and that was the night my mom passed away. Every shift I was given I worked, occasionally I'd cover other shifts if I didn't have anything else going on, but I was taught that if you aren't at least 5-10 minutes early to your job you are already late...people today are way too lazy and relaxed, and it needs fixed. Like I said the occasional being late might be ok, but several times a week/month is totally unacceptable.
I would have been a happy ending if kevin was fired 😅
You heard the COO say, "That's not our policy," which to me seems like a lawsuit for every illegally docked minute or every employee in that place. Kevin gon' learn today!
Treat your employees right and the business will run itself. Then there's no need for this "manager" to sit in his office all day watching the cameras pretending to be working. I work as a manager for my cities Parking division and the cameras we have are really only ever used to give police evidential footage, or to clear an employees name of a bogus complaint from a customer or a higher up. I can't imagine sifting through hours of footage just to catch someone making a mistake. What a waste of time.
My previous employer had $30K+ tied up in cameras/recording system, yet couldn't pay their employees worth a damn...and that's $30k in 28 stores total. yet treat their employees like crap, don't pay worth a damn, and had piss poor management, supervisors, and office personnel who couldn't do their own jobs let alone the jobs of the people they were supposed to be overseeing.
To all bosses that act this way, what goes around comes around.
This CEO has to be one of the best ones from undercover bosses. He does seem genuinely humble.
8 years later and nothing changed one bit. And Kevin got a promotion and still micromanaging the employees.
I had a feeling that's what would happen
Proof?
@@ghostccc8089 trust me bro!
Conjecture
That how my job can be especially stressful and difficult when your doing your job
Kevin didn't look very happy at the end.😮
Honestly, it looks like Kevin and the boss had more of a meaningful conversation off camera.
"can I count on you to get that done?"
Didn't even respond. What the hell
A total joke.
While Kevin is clearly a shit boss, I'm pretty sure the way it played out on this clip was TV editing. He was nodding his head like he was listening to the other guy talking, so that particular clip was probably used out of context.
@@Xioxyde_ 100% out of context. Even the way the camera angles are set you can tell it's to be able to clip and edit things however they want which is sad because I would like to see the full unclipped conversation.
He was sweating balls after he found out the boss was the new employee.
Kevin is a type of manager I’ve had the misfortune of working with in the past. To compensate for having zero leadership abilities he’ll constantly micromanage his staff. And a lack of leadership skills always equals lack of control so he uses discipline as a method of control. These type of managers never get better and as soon as their short comings are addressed they’ll escalate their methods. He’s bad news and needs to go.
sometimes these people dont want to micromanage, but also can be the case that he came in to clean up p[ast employees being rampantly late and or abusing leniency, and just took it a bit too far to maintain order. There are cases people in this role aren't just laying down the law just to be tyrants, often there is cause to the way they are in that role so they make the higher ups happy with his numbers. This is why he prolly wasnt fired because his people are ready to work at the start of shifts. You never know, it may be a relief to him to not be so micro-manager about stuff after this
@@DJ_BROBOT I went strictly by the facts as they were presented and my experience with managers like him. Micromanaging staff is always a sign of a weak manager. It means he doesn’t know how to inspire them to do their best or is able to institute other methods of behavioural correction. Wage theft is never an acceptable way to remedy bad habits and it’s illegal.
OP, there are two types in those positions:
Those who lead by fear/intimidation
Those who lead by respect
Those in the latter are the true leaders that everyone wants to be around. The former are the dickheads that cause good people to leave jobs. No one has ever quit a job - they have only quit their "leadership".
Kevin did just what he told to do so.I believe there must be someone in the upper position above him instructed him to do that.Not the CEO, someone in between.
Kevin is like mf you told me to dock them 😂
I have no doubt in my mind that that person knew those practices were in place or at least had an idea
I mean he had to have known right
Way back in another century, I worked with a bloke who was a cabinet-maker by trade. He told me about how he had once worked in a furniture and above where they clocked on and off was a sign that read, "Any employee who is 2 or more minutes late will be docked 15 minutes pay." He didn't take much notice of it until the day when he was about 2 minutes late.
When he got his pay the next week, he saw he had been docked 15 minutes and, quite naturally, he queried this and was quickly told of the ( very illegal ) company policy. The next day he was deliberately 2 minutes late again when he clocked on, then he sauntered to his workbench and very casually perched on it, watching the clock on the wall. The foreman saw him and came over to find out what was going on. My mate pointed towards the clock and said, "I'm waiting 'till quarter past seven." The very puzzled foreman asked why and got the reply of, "Because I was 2 minutes late clocking on and I'm not working the next 13 minutes for nothing!"
Employee face was a picture of ohhh fu££ I'm getting fired 😂😂
Kevin’s definitely docking everyone for telling on him.
I always find it funny how they act like the camera man is invisible 😂
I was looking for this comment
I wonder if this is real how they explain the cameraman.
all it takes is a simple "hey we're filming a documentary on what it's like to start a new job" or "we're filming somebody's first few days for internal training purposes" and then everybody goes oh ok.
When he responded with that “sure” that shows you everything you need to know. Fire him.
Kevin at the end looked like he'd swallowed a razor blade and it was on it's way out!!
I felt so bad for that employee, and how worried she was!!
Kevin is the kind of manger that ends up tripping and falling into the cardboard compactor.
I work one place where the manger of a mill would not for any reason go into the warehouse section. She was afraid they would run over here with the forklift And as mean as she was I can see that happening.
So he’s undercover but there is a professional camera running around everywhere and the manager is on camera at the perfect times too?
🤣 🤣 🤣
Hey, Kevin. We know we trained you to be like this. We in upper management did say that 30 min lunch means 30 min, including walking to and from the lunch room AND that we arbitrary set the lunch time to put assembly line type workers out of rhythm, but now I want to look good on camera so we are sacrificing you. To make me look better... So just take a L now and we see each other on Monday for the scheduled anti union meeting.
yea it's surprising people really think this is Evil Kevin's fault when most companies are like this several bosses above Kevin's level. he may be a goober and a useless manager on his own terms but this isn't just something that happens in a vacuum with only Kevin and his subordinates knowing
More of the HIGHER UPS NEED to go under cover to see how it REALLY is in EVERY FIELD WITHOUT ANYONE KNOWING ‼️ BECAUSE MOST OF THE REGULAR MANAGEMENT IN THE BUSINESSES LOVES TO COVER UP A LOT OF THINGS ‼️
Regardless of the fact i think its VERY scary how presidents and ceos don’t know stuff like this is going on in their own company, horrible part on the companies part. Yeah he can give them 30k and a brand new car but things wont change for other people, just the people they pick to be on the show.
A part of being a boss is delegating responsabilities.
Unfortunately CEO's are still human so they think the people they trust are actually gonna do a good job.
a lot of the time it doesn't happen, and since the company keeps running and complains never reach their ears they think everything is fine and there's nothing to worry about.
@@Regolant1 That's the main issue though I don't really think being a ceo determines if you're human or not, its not like a doctor. a ceos responsibility is the management of the company, not to delegate responsibilities. So yes i stick by my comment and say they should know what's going on. and this video was just sick to watch.
@@Tsumi784, part of the management of the company as a CEO is delegating the work depending on the size of the company. Do you really think the CEO can be the lawyer, the accountant, Purchasing, HR, Marketing, etc for the company? A smart CEO hires people smarter than themselves that are experienced in the field that they are hired to do. Depending on the size and type of company, the CEO hires people to lead each department and from there they hire what they need to run the business. The CEO will only generally interact with his staff which generally are the heads of each department (HR, Marketing, Legal, Purchasing, Customer Service, etc). It is their responsibility to execute and implement what comes down from the CEO who is beholden to the stockholders. It is also their responsibility to report to the COO any issues that need to be addressed from day to day operations. There is a hierarchy. Most of the problems with many companies end up in middle management where they don't do their jobs most of the time, are on a power trip and fail to report issues to leadership because they don't want to look bad. If they report issues, it reflects poorly on them because it will appear as if they can't handle their job or responsibilities. Then when a CEO or COO goes on a show like Undercover Boss to see what is really going on, they are shocked that either policies they have in place are not being followed or people they have in management roles suck and are the reason for high turnover or declining business. It is not really a surprise that a CEO doesn't know every gritty detail that goes on a day to day basis, especially if the company is a big company, with thousands of employees, across multiple states and/or countries. Unfortunately, they have to rely on every single person to do their job and hope they don't have slackers as managers or workers.
Conveyor line jam...humm you can get machine's to pick off trash quicker.😂😂
A manager who needs to watch video all day of their department is not a manager. They have no skills to be in that position. (Period)
Looks like a great place to work. Get to handle garbage and be treated like garbage. Best of both worlds.
I love these bosses. They are really concerned about their hardworking employees. They appreciate them.
Are they really concerned? Because docking pay like that is illegal and if it was my company and someone implemented an illegal policy I would fire them no question. Also he should of known about this long ago. A company goes bad from the top down that means the ceo enforced this behavior
Would they be like that without the cameras there?
Then he should have fired Kevin.
Talking to Kevin just got the kind lady in deep doo doo.
When he just says “sure” or “yep” over the superior, you know he’s not gonna do it.
Why didn't he fire him??? I didn't see the entire episode but that kind of micromanaging is ridiculous. If he can't trust his employees then why have them? Look all the time he is wasting watching the cameras. Wow
Just goes to show... Even the big boss has to change his policies!!! The company wants the money... So they cut costs elsewhere... To protect his ass, he pushes his workers... It starts at the "TOP"!... Can't blame the "worker" when it's the "company policy" problem.
Kevin should be put out on the floor and see how he likes to work by the same rules he had for them
kevin, in fact, went on to switch the policy to a 15 minute lunch to allow for a 5 minute grace period to clock back in!! what a great boss and leader of people 👍🏼
New employee gets hired and a camera crew follows him around. Not sus at all
it would be easy for the owner of a company to say the camera crew and the temp employee are there to shoot a PR stunt and noone would blink a eye
Kevin… some advice- contrition and humility go a long way.
undercover. has all these cameras and microphones for everyone to see🤣🤣🤣
Right? Like she's not gonna notice a guy with a huge camera chasing her down the narrow hallway! 🤣😂
That guy needs to be demoted back to the floor. He loves power too much. Being a manager is not being the police watching their every move in an office. I was manager once and spent 90% of my time on the floor with my people working with and helping them. That's how you earn respect and loyalty.
I'm no lawyer but I'm pretty sure it's illegal to pay employees less than their hourly rate x hours worked...
The title this video implies it's going to be something hectic to watch but it's really anti-climactic don't waste your time watching
I've worked for a sanitation company that was a competitor of Waste Management. Makes me wonder if that was a local WM facility or not, we always heard horror stories from employees.
Lmao....Ok Kevin, stop docking people for returning late from lunch. THERE! That should fix things! 😂😂
So Kevin is implementing the company's policy and is now being blamed for doing so? And as COO, isn't it his job to suggest better solutions instead of asking Kevin to "get things done".
Company policy is 30 min lunch, kevin done the 1 minute late is 2 mins docked. So that is on kevin, and asking kevin for a better solution, is a way of saying are you capable of fixing this. Cause he caused a problem, if i have to fix it then why do i have him? (And no im not a boss, im one of the grunts, just see the points)
All depends on peoples perceptions.
@@khornebloodgod2137 Ah I see, I thought the two minutes docked was company policy. Thanks for the clarification.
@Downhill_MTB 4Life no company would ever implement a docking time rule in this day and age, as its not legal. But i would have to see the rest of what happened here, as i dont think Kevin is fit for the job.
So you see someone who uses the security system practically all day to spy on staff, then uses it to "steal" their pay through docking?! He's not only commiting fraud/theft/breaking the law he's possible using micromanaging to bully and constructively dismiss staff. In addition he is clearly not doing his job a a manager! Manager's do not sit in front of security cameras all day spying on "his" staff 🤔🤦🏻♀️! Furthermore as COO, not it's not his job to manage the business he employed a manager to do! If a manager cannot manage the factory he was employed to manage, they should not be a manager !🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
He didn't even say yes or yes sir should have said yes sir He just looked at him and shook his head What a crappy company to work for I've even talked to the drivers before picking up the big dumpsters or the you know the cans in front of people's houses If they go off route go to the bathroom they get rode up and get in trouble Even if they have to like an emergency have to go to the bathroom That one girl had a pickup she had to pee in the cup She was not allowed to go off her route to go to the bathroom except when she was out of there her route area like passing the store to go to bathroom She couldn't like leave to go to the bathroom was an emergency nope they get wrote up so she had a cup that she peed in Hell embarrassing What a crappy company to work for
I just watched the video with him out with her and him finding out she had to pee in a can. He apologised and seemed very embarrassed. He did say he'd fix it and wanted her on a team to work out a better system generally.
@@elenawilliams32 , what's really problematic is how these kinds of things should've been addressed "20 yrs ago when the company started"... I mean basic things not "trying to find all digits for pi" which is supposedly up to nearly 63 TRILLION at this point. Employees needing bathrooms breaks, lunch/snack breaks etc., are basic and even though human safety is a major consideration, it's unfortunate that many companies have decided that automation is better/cheaper than dealing with "basic human needs" therefore people are replaced more and more with automated processes.
Kevin : I don't have a problem. *I am the problem*
He didn’t even come out and introduce himself to the new employee….
What a waste of 4 minutes.
Love the "can i count on you to get that done". Pretty much means. Stop doing what youre doing or you're fired. Love it.
Kevin gives him the: “I don’t care about your punk ass, my rodeo my clowns you fool!” look… one can straight up see Kevin doesn’t care at all
Welcome to America. Where employers can do whatever they want with impunity.
That dude had the managers balls in a vise at the end lmao you see his face 😂
1:18 i love how they used the same "whoa" sound twice
'Could i count on you to get that done?' is translation to:
Do it or you're done
She clocked back in then sat down and kept eating. 😄
But did she just clock back in and continue eating her lunch?! 😂
The look on his face spoke volumes he was going to make that ladys life a living hell.
He didn’t even look convincing when agreeing to the CEO. Fk that I would’ve pushed his ass to the curb.
I’m so glad the owner and his son work with us at my job, the son trained me directly too
YOU SHOULD HAVE FIRED HIM IMMEDIATELY! Slowed down the conveyor, made 1 hr lunches MANDATORY, breaks paid, 2 weeks of sick leave per year, and free lunch once a month.
That dude's face is priceless
"Can I count on you to get that done ?"... silence and a slight head nod. Kevin would be looking form a new job!
Lol duping the sound affect she made her little cry and editing it in a second time 😂😂😂
Kevin thought he was the sheriff of Nottingham 😂
When he ask did he meet the new employee and he said no I did not and smiled, you knew it was not going to go left
There had been times where I had to all of the sudden need to go to the bathroom or stuck in it for you know what reason at the end of my breaks or lunch break. And thank goodness I wasn't penalized during those times for being 5 min late in most places I've worked.
But I can also see how one missing person can cause problems for others with sorting the trash part of the job too.
I work for The Limited Brand and Victoria's Secret that company have the same environment and if you're late One minute. You get a point and after seven time late you get Written up for 6 months after that to get fired..and it was the most horrible company I ever worked for.. some companies forget that happy employees work harder..
WOW their manager is obviously causing major anxiety for employees
A managers success is reflected by the success of those they manage.
Bro said “Can I count on you to get it done?” 🤣😩 bro Kevin don’t give af about chuuuuu he’ll DOC you right there and then 😭
“Would it surprise you to hear that it was me?”
“UGHHSHSVHGHHHDHJS”
Kevin likes the power.
The other coworkers waiting in line just to hear her squel xD
He should be fired. He stole those people's money.
Best change for kevin is demotion and then held to his micromanaging standards until he quits.
