She Doesn't Have Time for Bathroom Breaks! | UNDERCOVER BOSS

"You pee in a can?" The president of Waste Management is ashamed that his policies may have resulted in his employees not having enough time for bathroom breaks!

Garbage service workers need to be treated with respect it’s an essential service

[moritzkorsch]

He took full personal responsibility, goddamn that was refreshing!
We need more people like him!
And she is awesome as well, you can really tell the people love her!

The most undervalued people in society, garbage collectors should earn 5 times the money they get, while most of us worked from home during covid they were still out, picking up our bins and bags that contained our snotty tissue used antigen tests and masks... real heroes.

I mean, yeah we have people driving around spying on the drivers but I don't want the drivers to feel like they're being spied on.

[AcerNitroFive]

Literally, these people are our daily unsung heroes!
I used to work in this field when I was younger. Sure was tough!

The decisions that corporate makes are based on the bottom line. Period. Full stop. They'll tell you "we're going to look into it, and see where we can improve" but in the end, if it cost them money, nothing gets done.

No time for bathroom breaks?! That is awful

[joseluisperezjr]

For those wondering It's not that she can't use the bathroom. She chooses not to because it would add more time to the route she is running and she will get behind. What that company needs to do is create better routes with less stops so the employee doesn't have to choose between a couple stops or use the bathroom

[markbraxton]

We do send observation vehicles out but we still don't want our employees to feel like they're being watched...hahaha

The managers in trucks should show up and take over to give them their breaks and lunches and restroom breaks.

[chadevans]

Prime example of how corporate doesn't have a frigging clue what happens outside their multimillion dollar offices. But when I heard that guy say he was going to form a task force to look in to making things better, I immediately knew it would be "same 'ole, same 'ole." The guy was secretly saying to himself "Damn, I need more Purell."

[kurtgreen]

Just goes to show how disconnected management is

[moldoveanu]

Lol, watching this from the perspective of an ex WM employee, this is hilarious. As guys we peed in a bottle or hide in alleys and go behind the truck, into the truck. Almost everyone does it. The expectations are high.

You do however get a generous break to do things but sometimes you gotta go and you are too far away from a bathroom or it's after your break and don't want to make a habit of falling behind or those white trucks start to follow you just to find reasons to get rid of you.

There are other union jobs out there that are far easier on the body and mind. Much cleaner industries that also pay much more. I work on trains now. Get paid nearly double from the very start, for similar time commitment.

High power linemen union gets paid even more!!! Dangerous job, sure. But it's hard to sneeze at a quarter million a year.

WM needs to do more for it's employees, and I already know that are trying and it's a great company to work for, but could be better honestly. Those rear loader trucks have no business being assigned to residential jobs. They make the job way harder than it should be. Front loader is the way to go for residential and even for commercial work.

Many years ago a friend was head of Personnel in Killeen, TX. He was ivory tower guy. One day he showed up at the refuse collection depot in jeans. "Let's go." He did things like that in all departments. He had the respect of the grunts in city government.

Management by example.

Every closed door workplace needs undercover boss

[eif]

Normally you wouldnt start telling a brand new coworker/assistent about the problems on their very first Day Like she did.. as if she didnt know she was on undercover boss the whole time…😂😂

[Ethanakawalter]

As a garbage man that has a curbside route, I keep an eye out and note where all portapottys are (parks are a great place). Commercial drivers have it a little easier because they can use the bathroom at the various businesses they pick up. It does suck but if you limit your liquid intake while on route it's easier. It does suck in the summer time when you're downing Gatorade and water like crazy, but take the 15 minutes to find a bathroom. Also, some routes have you dumping multiple times a day so just use the bathroom at the facility.

I was on the turnpike outside of Boston, and paid my toll, and said thank you to the lady. She just stared straight ahead. I said thank you again, she turned to me and screamed WE CAN"T TALK TO YOU, and went back to staring straight ahead.

[cjhoward]

Every company I’ve ever worked for, has pushed for things that look good on paper but it’s not reality. As one person, you can only do so much in one day. 😡

[hufwesom]

I really start to enjoy those undercover boss episodes but it's just too bad we don't see when the employee discover that it was in fact the Boss. You know, the surprise effect...
