I asked my wife while we were watching it... "How many other thousands of his employees are in the same situations he's specifically addressing?"...

Sure, it makes for good TV and I enjoyed it, but it was a good example of how the upper class is so far out of touch with the middle to lower class of people...

He seemed like a genuinely nice guy though, and it was nice of him to do some of the specific things he did afterwards... But, how many other people in his company are in the exact same situation?

The Hooters one looks to be a hoot... Especially the pig making the girls eat from the plate for whatever reason... People disgust me...

i predict quite a tidal wave of change from this. not for every employee but i can see more ceo's doing this.

I agree slj, the distance between upper to lower class is light years apart. I have proposed for years a role reversal day or month for all companies. That will keep it real for sure.

When I first moved to Atlanta in 2006, our CEO did something similar at least a few times each month, except it wasn't undercover. At our height we had about 100 employees. He was a tremendous owner, a great friend to everyone, and a "my door is always open" kind of guy (he actually meant it and delivered). Our CEO and founder would schedule these days where he would basically shadow people for a day at their job. It wasn't some empty effort to conenct with employees, because everyone knew him so well that wasn't necessary. He did it to learn. He would sit down with economists, accountants, programmers, project managers, IT support, administrative assistants...almost everyone. He wanted to udnerstand every part of his business and truly understand what everyone was bringing to the table. I miss working for him and his family.

I enjoyed this show...im ashamed to tell you guys this but i actually saw an epsiode of oprah when she actually did a segment on this show.. they had the waste managment guy and the 7/11 ceo and it was pretty awesome what the 7/11 corporation does for one of their people.. i will continue to watch. I agree with pstall in saying companies should put in a role reversal day in every so often for their corporate employees..alot of the people at the top have no idea what its like for the hourly employees and really cant see how policies they make affect the people under them.

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      We’re in a pickle. My best hope is we protect him and can run the ball vs most Ds and the WRs are healthy so he has every chance to not look like what he looked like in too many games last year.

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      I'm really not stressing about upgrading from Bryce. I'm frustrated with our inability (or refusal) to recognize overall bad QB performance and failure to seriously address the issue. QB is the most impactful position on the field, and we're not only settling for what we've been given to this point, but we've rewarded it with a fully guaranteed 5th year extension for a player that's never played 2 NFL franchise QB quality games back to back in 3 seasons. I can't understand how that's ok from a coach's or GM's viewpoint. Successful franchises don't do things like this. It just doesn't make sense.  We do not have a top half of the league QB right now. Since we don't have that player, we should be looking for him. Pickett isn't it. Grier isn't it. Bryce hasn't proven he is yet. Until you have that sure fire franchise QB, you keep looking. You're not consistently making the playoffs, a deep run, or a SB appearance without one.  What's the worst that could happen? We end up with 2 potential number 1 QBs? How horrible.

      Easy to understand Pickett, if this is anywhere close to on point. Canales wants to get as close to Bryce as he can- get the pace and timing in the throws as close a he can to Bryce. So the other players don’t have to adjust so much, to a new guy.       If Cam was the 1, he would look for a rocket arm.  But Bryce is the 1. Look for limited in the same way.  Low velocity, plenty of air under it, feels just like home when Picket comes in. And you have the guys on the second team not having such a radical adjustment (if they have to play) like with Dalton to Bryce.    Enter Grier. I guess we will collect those types.
