I have watched it a few times, but tonight the mayor of Cinn OH is going undercover to check out the city workers. CBS time this one pretty good, it's been interesting so far.
Thanks for the reminder Gary I am texting my wife as I type to see if she will DVR this for me. Ive watched a couple episodes myself and I do enjoy the show so far.
We watch is a lot but the new season of Celebrity Apprentice started tonight and that Circus is too much to miss.
I had no idea it was on until I read your post! I caught the last few minutes of the show ....... seems like the Mayor approves of the city workers?
Yes he did, the mechanic dude was pretty vocal. I never knew mechanics were the second responders for emergency's in a city. The mayor said these people take pride in their work, and you could tell they do.
Link? This show is the one where the evil rich guy who steals all his money off the sweat and tears of the less "fortunate" learns a lesson about what a horrible person he is because a single mother that works for him doesn't have as nice a house as he does?? What a wonderful lesson in class warfare.........rich people are bad and they don't deserve what they have, we should take it from them and give it to the poor janitor with a bum leg because he's so honest and hard working. He's just not as "lucky" as the rich guy. They should let the 10 camera men no one seems suspicious of following around the 55 year old "new guy" and let them film Ronny the janitor with a 6th grade education, no ambition and a criminal record run the company for a few months and see how valuable he REALLY is.
Atlas I have never got that out of the show. I have watch it couple times now, most of the time just shows people care about their jobs and company. From the janitor to CEO. Shows how CEO choices effect his workers. There is no class warfare from the few times I have watched it.
Guys, not sure you all realize it, but its a TV show, for entertainment. Highly doubtful real life. When was the last time a whole TV crew came into work to watch you work, and that was normal? Isn't it the same thing, over and over, rich guy goes in, can't do the job near as good as his employees, looks like a buffoon, meets a mother of a sick child, feels bad for them, reveals himself, and sends mother and child to disney land. Over and over. Think about it, who would watch it, if CEO, goes in, exceeds the employees at everything they do, find lazy sorry employee on ocassion, goes back and thinks I need to reduce the pay of some of these guys.
If helping a city worker get a van so she can transport her son around who has Cerebral palsy you deem as "class warefare" go ahead. If helping the kid who parks the cars at Cubs games with an intership in the front office is class warefare, well you got me. Remember when we just use to help people? Anyone?
Helping people is fine. People thinking all this is real life, is well, something. Its entertainment, its a TV show, like home makeover, biggest loser. Its pie in the sky, feel good stuff. I myself don't find it realistic. You might. People tend to act and talk different when the cameras are not on them. I know a few CEO's, and never have I saw one act so uncoordinated as they do on this show. Its hammed up for the boob tube people.
I know a few too, one of my best friends is a CEO, and he is that speacial at maual labor, lol Yes it's just a feel good show, I know that
You may, but obviously others don't. You got one guy on here talking about Rush Lim. I mean, many on here really thinks this is the real world.
An investigative reporter in Des Moines did that a couple of years ago. Followed city employees around for a few days and then did a story on it. Several of them were driving their city owned vehicles back home after checking in to work and hanging out for hours doing nothing. Others chose to just drive around most of the day. Some were hard working, others not so much.
I would fire their supervisor first, then them. What kind of lead does not know that his guys are doing this?
