Undercover Boss

[expatinscotland]

Hmm, a council CEO who has a salary in the 6 figures, going undercover to determine which public services to slash?

How about we start with his fat salary?

Agree about the salary. I watched the one last week and thought it was enlightening.

This guy is a twonk.

I do find the senior management salary levels in local government quite astonishing!

How can they not recognise him?!

I work for a council and barely a day goes past without getting a bit of corporate wank email or magazine or poster with our chief exec's fecking head grinning out at us

I find them wrong, tbh.

His face is saying a lot already

I think he looks quite ashamed

He looks pretty shocked already.

He should be thoroughly ashamed!

You'd think a week working at grass roots level would have been part of his induction course......?

"it's an eyeopener"

I think it's quite shocking if this is his first experience of doing this. I thought it was pretty standard practice for senior managers to spend some time face to face with frontline service. He shouldn't need the cameras to tell him that isolated older people appreciate the meals on wheels service

Watching this now too, my dad used to work at that council, as did I briefly. Nice offices. I'm not impressed so far though, he's quite patronising.

He is in disguise Mrs Tucker - he has cut his hair short

Wonder how they explain the cameras

MrsMT, they don't recognise him because he grew a beard and shaved his hair, to fit in with all the other working cass people, innit.

I wanted to adopt those old people

Don't forget the beard that he grew, lol

I'm beginning to see how Clark Kent got away with it for all those years

Lol

I'll be really surprised if Malachi earns more than £16,000/annum.

And yet this guy has a massive office in a new, ornate looking building.

FFS.

Is it me or is he looking like at that fella Malakai (?), like he knows that he is a better person than him already and he is one lucky bastard for getting the job he got

Thats the thing with these fat cats - most people could do their jobs - they aren't that different from most people

Many could do their jobs better than they can for less money.

Is this guy really this fucking clueless?

I think that all he's thinking it where he can cut costs and save money....at a loss to all the people probably though. The meals on wheels comments worried me, putting up the cost of meals next?

I fear he is

It seems the lights are on but noone is home

It's odd for me watching this, I used to live around there (East London) until 6ish years ago, grew up there and lived there most of my life, seems quite surreal.

They've been on their feet all day long. Again, getting abuse for little money and possibly getting stabbed.
