I found the Undercover Boss show to be very engaging, and it provided a new perspective for me on how companies operate. Since large corporations such as American Building Maintenance Industries, Inc. (ABM) have thousands of employees, it is sometimes hard for executives and high-level managers to relate to the everyday workforce. Doing janitorial work or driving a bus around might seem like a simple task to those in charge, but when Henrik Slipsager, the CEO of ABM, actually got out there and did the work, it proved to be much more difficult than he imagined. In fact, he wouldn't have even gotten the driver job had he been actually applying for it as a Joe-Schmo off the street! The film showed that many of the low-level employees are "unsung heroes" and take pride in doing their work the right way.
At the end of the episode, the unsung workers who did well were rewarded for their services. This reality series was a great example of why you should try to do your best and be a good employee, no matter what your line of work may be.
