That outfit says "Respect me for my intelligence and abilities".

We are hosting a conference here for about 250 leadership staff in our industry and I brought up Undercover Boss during lunch. Everyone at my table LOVES the show. The agree its a little formulaic but they still think its great and dont miss an…

I don't care for "letters of reference". When an applicant presents a file folder of them to me its more of a red flag than anything. An individuals employment history is more informative than a letter of reference they probably wrangled out of t…

The show is a ratings success and even topped the Olympics from 9:30 to 10 pm.

Celeste, you can watch previous episodes of UB on the CBS.com website.

I have to admit this show is pretty watchable even though its contrived. I even choked up a bit at the end when some of the employees were in tears. That said, I think this show is has some serious problems. While CEOs and line employees are bei…

Maybe you didn't say it right? Remember, there are no bad employees. Just bad approaches.

Nae is out of control.

Do you think bullies are aware of their behavior? Do they walk away from these situations smiling at how they manipulated other people? Or are they clueless to their own methods and simply reacting?

I like it but we need to refine the rules a bit more. You drink anytime: - the boss discovers that some supposedly simple task is difficult - anytime the boss gives an innappropriate gift or reward to an employee with a difficult life situation - …

That's my sense too. A direct, firm response. I think I heard someone say once that its good to confront aggressive (or passive aggressive comments) directly. You can say something like "What does that mean?" and make direct eye contact. Let me…

The next episode of Undercover Boss will be "White Castle". According to the CBS commercial it will be an inspiring episode where a white male CEO learns how hard his minority and women employees work.

So what is the best advice to someone who works with a bully or has a bully in their employ?

Regarding the supervisor Jimbo from Hooters, the producer of Undercover Boss recently explained that the show was not going to focus on individuals but rather policies that need to be addressed. In other words, nobody will be fired on Undercover…

What kind of coworker to coworker bullying have you seen David?
-
Oh man, this show! On one hand its really frustrating because it feels contrived and manipulative but on the other hand its discussing really important issues that are rarely talked about on television. The good: - compelling employees - the boss …

We have used auto deduct for our housekeeping staff and its been fine. We have a couple settings depending on the amount of time the staff are able to take that day based on work load (1/2 hour or full hour). It saves the employees from having to…

I'd probably go with the lower profile players who aren't as talented but can work hard. Is that the right answer? Do I win anything?
-
I didnt watch Undercover Boss last night. I'll watch it online tonight though. If its the same basic story as the first two episodes I am done. This coming from a guy who has watched all 20 seasons of Survivor.

There is an interesting connection between bullies and insecurity. Bullies are, by nature, insecure. They are not confident that they can inspire others to perform through appropriate means and so they resort to their bullying tactics. For HR pe…

I think workplace bullying is when a person uses their power, position, or personality to intimidate or coerce others. Some of the worst bullies I have seen have been female. Just sayin...

Hey supposedly its America's #1 show! (according to CBS) And more than that, in this episode an entirely NEW ceo has a heartfelt experience with an entirely new group of employees in a way that is TOTALLY different from the heartfelt experiences …

Did anyone watch last night's episode?
-
I agree. I could care less what someone puts on their Linked In profile. If they want to appear foolish when their ruse is exposed, that's their perogative. If they are communicating false information on their application, that will be revealed …

This is an interesting ruling. I feel sorry for teachers. Add this burden to the long list of challenges they face. For employers I think it reaffirms the need to have a social media presence and know what is being said about you. You can't al…

All this discussion about lunch is making me hungry!
-
Hmm.. I guess my cynical side is thinking that these management employees 1) dont want to hassle with clocking out for their lunches and 2) realize they are getting a paid lunch. If I understand the scenario as you have described it, your organiza…
-
By the way, you REALLY have to be careful when searching online for information about Hooters.
-
In my opinion, Jimbo is a liability. Anyone without enough sense to know that you don't degrade your workforce while the cameras are rolling should not be allowed to mop the bathroom much less be given supervisory responsibilities. By the way, Hoo…

I agree. This is the second episode and we have already seen the same story of "likeable but possibly out of touch CEO learns how hard his employees work and promises to be a better boss". How many times will people watch that? Real workplaces (in…
