Say, you're getting coffee in the pantry with your coworkers and people start talking about a nasty new company policy. Someone is very vocal about what he thinks, and even call your boss a bunch of names. Ever wonder what's going to happen if the boss were there to hear about it?
Imagine no more. CBS will debut a new reality series which features some employees' worst nightmare. Undercover Boss will follow corporate executives working in disguise at low-level jobs in their own companies to find out what their employees think of them.
Undercover Boss will kick off on February 7, Sunday, following CBS' coverage of Super Bowl XLIV. It will the move to its regular Sunday slot at 9pm the following Sunday - Valentines day - with The Amazing Race will serve as its lead in.
On every
Undercover Boss episode, a different executive will get to find out the the inner workings of their company by working alongside their employees to learn the effects their decisions have on others, find where the problems are in their organization, and see some of the unsung heroes at the lower-level positions.
"Everyone has daydreamed about watching the boss do their job," said CBS Entertainment president Nina Tassler. "The journey of watching a chief executive walk a mile in their employees' shoes is always very revealing, often humorous and, in some cases, very inspiring."
For its first offering,
Undercover Boss will feature the President and COO of Waste Management cleaning porta-potties, sorting waste at their recycling plants, and collecting garbage from landfills.
Some of the additional executives who will be featured on during Undercover Boss' 10-episode season will include 7-Eleven President and C.E.O. Joseph M. DePinto, Hooters President and C.E.O. Coby G. Brooks, White Castle Owner/Executive Board Member Dave Rife, and Churchill Downs C.O.O. William C. Carstanjen.
