    The one just on there was such a crock.

    What would the top man in your company discover if he "dropped in" to be trained by YOU,covertly,minus the fcuking film crew?

    Honestly,would you be seen as an asset training this guy,or would you be dispensible immediately.

    Throw in a ****e sobstory and your grand,apparantly.Oh,and invite the trainee round to your house...as you do.:rolleyes:

    Id be fired as Im too efficient:(

    damnit,in before the Rupert Murdoch jokes :P

    I'd imagine he'd probably say something like: "What are you fucking doing here?! You haven't been employed here for 6 months!"

    Computer; check

    Tracksuit; check

    Daytime TV; check

    I think the people at the Dole office would be very pleased with my progress.

    ....the angry one, the one that makes you light all those fires and urges you to KILL EVERYONE!

    What's the reason for being reasonable?

    Is that an unreasonable question?

    The company I work for was on Undercover Boss. They were 'shocked' and 'inspired' by the stuff we have to deal with and the conditions we work in. Didn't ****ing change anything though. Four employees got to be on telly and got a promotion. Nothing for the rest of us :rolleyes:

    fack off boss


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,104 ✭✭✭easyeason3


    I think he would realise that I put up with more crap than I should.
    That doesn't mean he would actually do anything about it but he would be more aware & avoid me more out of embarrassment.

    I'm constantly terrified that my boss will figure out that I haven't a fecking clue about what I'm doing.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,463 ✭✭✭Solnskaya


    I'm usually amazed when i watch this programme that more people don't fock it up royally. Are there really people out there who take their job seriously and can conduct a conversation with a straight face when discussing what they do??? I'd be fired so fast the camera would spin, but then again, I'm self employed, and I still can't take what I do seriously. I'd fire myself tbh.

    Can't do it anymore, the local shop has banned pyjamas! And I'll be damned if I'm walking the extra 20 feet to the pyjama friendly shop just for me Herald and Johnny Blues

    he more than likely wouldn't understand what the hell i do,so would end up making him think i'm a valuable cog in the machine.

    He'd probably get annoyed at you for wasting company time by unnecessarily doing things twice.

    Ya think? Yeahimhere, I say this to you without humour or an agenda, no one is indispensible.

    Never assume that your boss is stupid but make sure your boss knows that you know more than he does, be subtle however.

    Always try to engineer a situation whereby your boss has to ask you a technichal/(your)job-specific question in front of his superior............
