It is a performances centric movie

There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

This show is obviously completely scripted and fake! People show up around your work with a bunch of cameras filming you and this new guy and you tell him that you cut corners, that you hit of female customers, that you do crappy work.. don't think so. Then all of the employees will share their lifestyles with this stranger? on camera? don't think so.Plus there is an obvious pattern on the few episodes I watched before I declared it "junk".My opinion is that this is another show made by the corporate enterprise to make people think that if they work hard they will get recognized and rewarded... give them hope and they work more efficient.

It's curious to see the interplay between the high-flying bosses and the enthusiastic junior employees. Often the bosses are unfit to do the jobs and often they are just going about the motions, not even pretending to be worried that their menial job is on the line.I don't know whether to blame the show or the culture of North America, but I find it distasteful when the bosses reveal themselves and give out gifts at the end. Having a CEO tell you that you did a really good job should feel special; that's all that really needs to happen. Instead, they want to out-do Oprah and give employees holidays, cars etc. I once even saw one of these bosses give a worker 2 promotions. How does one keep morale in the rest of the team when they know that just because the boss stumbled across this guy, he got promoted from under them to above them?The problems revealed are often along the lines of "yeah, this has been a problem for a while, but management doesn't care". Going undercover shouldn't really be necessary for that kind of problem.

3 executives who have previously been on the show have sworn this show is not scripted. Now, it's fair to say that the employees chosen to be watched have probably been interviewed for a sob-story, but the dialog is real.This show, if nothing else, gives us a look into the lives of the bigwigs running these companies. They have feelings-- they're rich, sure, but so what? Some studied, some worked extensively to reach the top, etc, and at the end of each episode, their inner philanthropist comes out. Billions in donations have been given away since the beginning of this show.

Instead of picking a few at the end of show to advertise what a great boss they are? These are usually minimum wage jobs. The workers are treated poorly, while the CEO's profit enormously from the workers under-paid labor and shoddy working conditions. Is the public so mal-informed as to think any of these bosses truly give a blank about anyone but themselves? One shudders to see this show has garnered "awards.' Sad, sick commentary on a society with such enormous income inequality. An inequality that has never been seen in our history. I wonder how these workers support their families. How do they the send their kids to college? How to they survive from week to week?
