Is a major network show, and the theme is where the owner of the business disguises their appearance and pretends to be a new low level hire, to observe the goings on in a seemingly random location. It is a motif to intend to convey that CEOs are not the JEFF Bezos/ Walmart class, and that they "truly care". I think this show is simply more bullshit virtue signaling.
Episode after episode, business after business, the CEO gets painted as "admitting" they could have done better, and end up rewarding "loyalists" and admit they could do better for their employees?
Is anyone buying this theme? Sure, if you pay off one desperate employee, by paying off their rent/mortgage/ college lone, or pay for a family vacation, sure, for that particular individual you helped them. But the point to me, isn't about helping the few, or helping for PR, but helping more.
I am not against the idea of giving a voice to the lowest level employee. But I think this show isn't about helping more, I simply think it is more corporate PR.
