This show is obviously completely scripted and fake! People show up around your work with a bunch of cameras filming you and this new guy and you tell him that you cut corners, that you hit of female customers, that you do crappy work.. don't think so. Then all of the employees will share their lifestyles with this stranger? on camera? don't think so.Plus there is an obvious pattern on the few episodes I watched before I declared it "junk".My opinion is that this is another show made by the corporate enterprise to make people think that if they work hard they will get recognized and rewarded... give them hope and they work more efficient.

I liked this show, but the Doug Guller "Bikinis" episode killed it for me. Shame on you, CBS for airing this episode! SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT! Basically, a gorgeous woman lost her corporate job (company went under) and took a bar tending job until she landed another corporate gig; she was fired for not wanting to tend bar forever (even though the CEO made it clear that only hot, large breasted, young women could work there… so what's she supposed to do for them in 10 years?) and for not wanting to wear a bikini top on camera. Then, the girl who flirted with him constantly and complained that her "boobies" were too little was promoted and given a free boob job. Now, don't get me wrong, Guller built a multi-million dollar company on the ideas of boobs and booze, but the blatant sexism is just disgusting. I am NEVER watching this show again-- and won't allow my kids to watch it anymore either.

It's curious to see the interplay between the high-flying bosses and the enthusiastic junior employees. Often the bosses are unfit to do the jobs and often they are just going about the motions, not even pretending to be worried that their menial job is on the line.I don't know whether to blame the show or the culture of North America, but I find it distasteful when the bosses reveal themselves and give out gifts at the end. Having a CEO tell you that you did a really good job should feel special; that's all that really needs to happen. Instead, they want to out-do Oprah and give employees holidays, cars etc. I once even saw one of these bosses give a worker 2 promotions. How does one keep morale in the rest of the team when they know that just because the boss stumbled across this guy, he got promoted from under them to above them?The problems revealed are often along the lines of "yeah, this has been a problem for a while, but management doesn't care". Going undercover shouldn't really be necessary for that kind of problem.

this show is so fake, Anyone who falls for it is just as stupid as the show itself. A camera crew following the "new employee" around? really. every episode is almost identical. My kids sit and watch it only to mock it and predict everything that is going to happen nearly perfectly. You have the sob-story employee then there's the slacker/trouble maker who needs to be fired its seriously the same storyline week after week. I quit watching it for about a year then watched another episode and what do you know, a rerun but with different characters (or actors) sorry just my thoughts on this show.I actually liked it when it first came out but after 3 years or so it just does not seem real.
