Undercover Boss

It rained on Sunday. I decided I needed the exercise and went for a walk anyway, umbrella in hand. The weather was mild and there were quite a few people out walking with their umbrellas or wearing rainjackets. The hyacinths are starting to pop up now.

That evening, we watched this TV show called Undercover Boss. It just happened to be on after The Amazing Race. Anyway, it was a really good show. Here is a synopsis of the episode I watched, I was in 'good' tears at the end of it:
Baja Fresh

'David Kim, the CEO of Baja Fresh, the leading fast-casual chain in Mexican dining in the United States, goes undercover posing as a contestant who is competing for one position within the company. Immigrating to America from Korea was hard on David’s family when he was growing up. His parents had to live through hard times, so his goal was to become someone that could help his parents live a better life. David hopes to use this undercover experience to find the truth about how his company is functioning, while reflecting on the time that he has left with his dying father. '

According to wikipedia, 'Undercover Boss has been criticized as a "reality show" for presenting scenarios and situations which rarely happen to employees in real workplaces and are in fact dramatic tricks. Others point out that CEO's in real life workplaces do not typically go out of their way to provide gifts and other extra benefits to front-line employees at the expense of the bottom line.'

Oh well, back to real life, I knew it was too good to be true!
