President Chastises Micromanaging Employee | UNDERCOVER BOSS

The president of Waste Management finds out his employees are constantly monitored and are unfairly penalized for being a few minutes late!

[tracyaskew]

The fact he didn't even bother to meet or acknowledge the new employee who came in for the day says everything.

I could tell that Kevin needed to be fired. Not leadership material. You need to care for your team so they care for the company. Kevin seems like he's got a stick shoved way up there.

[JesusIsComing]

Kevin is not going to change nothing. He has an attitude that needs a fixing. Being fired will help with that.

[markbaylor]

Kevin is the type of supervisor that everyone quits because of

I was terminated from a company after helping earn them 3 insurance awards for safety and got their workers compensation down almost 500k in 4 years. They let me and my assistant go to do better for the safety of the employees. Within 6 months of us being booted they had two fatalities and two major amputations and made front page news. At least this guy is making positive changes for the employees.

He should have been fired, point blank. It's completely illegal to take any hours or minutes worked away from employees.

[hamoudi_d]

Uh you can see by the look on his face that he didn't like it. Teasing and bullying employees is his bread and butter that keeps him alive. That's the kind of employees no boss wants to have in his business, he's destroying the business.

Edit: Wow 1k likes, thank you!

He didn’t get fired? Or demoted? That’s messed up! I run a small business, and we do lots of manual labor. I’ve always believed that no one should be given a management position without having worked the positions they are managing, and having done every single task that they’ll be putting on their team. You can sufficiently lead a team to do something you don’t understand the ins & outs of, yourself. I also never understood the system we use for promotions, either. We take the best workers away from what they’re great at, make them do something else, and pay them more. Why not pay them more for doing what they’re great at and hire someone else who’s good at the other stuff you were “promoting” them to. It makes no sense to take your best, say, installer away from installing and put them in an office. Just pay them more to do what they’re doing. ?? Then you don’t have a bunch of new people coming in and out that you’re having to train, nor do you have your best worker in a different job. Idk… that’s just me.

[CrunchWrpSUPREME]

That's actually illegal to dock pay like that. She could sue big time and report that

[topcatwarrior]

It’s hard to tell from a short clip, but Kevin’s response to the boss asking if he could count on him was weak.

[ejakathebeast]

The fact he wasn’t fired or at least disciplined is astonishing

[louiealouie]

Even with only this short clip, I can tell Kevin was on a crazy power trip at that place.

[cbeautifulworld]

Kevin needed specific instructions from the owner.
There's no guarantee that he "can be counted on to get that done" in a reasonable manner.
He gives the impression in this short clip that he may be covertly vindictive toward employees after this reprimand.
The owner needs to continue to monitor the treatment of employees at that site as long as Kevin is in a position of authority.

[jackcoleman]

“Can I count on you to get that done?”
…. “You’re not the boss of me.”

[deldarel]

That's the face of someone who cannot be counted on to get it done. That's not someone who made a mistake, that's someone who knows he got caught. He needs to go.

[jessileerichy]

He didn't even bother to introduce himself to his newest employee. He is the plant manager.... they say "people don't leave bad jobs, they leave bad bosses" and this guy isn't going to keep people. I'm pretty sure that would be illegal to dock pay like this.

[skellerns]

So many times the top executives have no idea how bad the hard grafters at the bottom are treated. Shielded from them by numerous layers of useless middle management, and closed door policies.

[loranlomiller]

Giving him a second chance after all that is a problem within itself 😢

[DadMods]

When he responded with that “sure” that shows you everything you need to know. Fire him.

😂I worked for a company as a temp once and the mgr went on a weeks vacation leaving a guy under him in charge. He set a few new rules for the employees. I was to cold call all the new applicants and asked if they would go over their policy and see if they agreed with their answers They gave earlier on their first meeting about the policy and ask questions. He asked questions that would trip them up to catch someone who may have not told the truth to get the policy. Also, I realized that every time t walked down the hall to use the restroom, one of his assistants would follow me. She would just stand there and take notes about my activities. (I brushed my hair, washed my hands, ) etc I finally asked her if she was following me on purpose. She said he required her to follow everyone to make sure they were doing bathroom things and not playing around.
Also, he followed me into the supply room every time I went in there for a pen or pencil. He said i
had to “check out every pen, pencil, box of paper clips etc. no one could take two of the items, just one. Another thing, If she noticed I was talking, she would come stand and listen to the conversations to make sure it was business related.
When the mgr came back from his time off, he called me in to his office to see if I enjoyed working there. I was dumbfounded until I realized he had no idea his assistant did the things he did. He asked me how things went and I asked “do you really want to know”? He had no idea what the guy did. He said yes so I told him how the guy treated me .He asked if he still had his notes and I said yes. After I let him know everything, he called him into the office and we all heard yelling and he came out red faced, went to his office, packed his briefcase and left the building. He was fired. He had something wrong with him.
