These issues tend to center on family health, education and economic issues and are often personally frightening.Įach episode ends with the boss calling each of these employees to a private meeting, where the true identity is revealed and as if a superhero, a series of handsome, generous rewards are bestowed. Here viewers view life challenging issues these employees face, which most of us experience personally or through the trials of family members, friends or coworkers.

Not coincidentally, it seems each boss tends to get to interact with several employees on a more personal level, as the show shares some of the worker’s outside the workplace challenges. As the bosses are trained for generally lower level positions, they are often more frustrated than their trainers with their own ineptitude and show a heartfelt appreciation for the efforts of much of their workforce. The point of the show is to introduce an owner or top executive to the everyday issues and frustrations faced by company workers on the ground. The boss then is ‘trained’ for several generally entry level positions. Each show places said boss in a situation to meet with fairly low level employees as the boss is introduced as a new company hire. The ‘boss’ is often the CEO, Chairman or owner of a prominent, large company who is engaged on the show to appear in a professionally concocted disguise under an alias, complete with a well thought out cover story. Viewing several episodes likely provides context and lets the viewer know that this big-business based reality show is ultimately a feel-good campaign. Anyone who has viewed the show Undercover Boss just once, undoubtedly felt at least one tug on their heartstrings, and depending on the viewer’s emotional demeanor might well have had an inclination to shed a tear or two.
