These companies are way over their heads if they think people are gonna be “passionate” working a boring minimum wage job. Majority people do it “for the paycheck” no doubt
Seriously, if you want passion you need to pay for it.
@@darcymoon2109 not necessarily! Some people DO love their jobs, including working for candle making companies. Not all jobs that people enjoy are harder to get. There’s no rush out there to get the same one or two jobs as everyone has different interests.
Overused word again. Do these people have a clue that very few people find their "passion" in the workforce?!
@@Lacroix999 Don’t be naive. It is work and that’s why we get paid to do it. If it was *fun* I’d be paying someone to get to do it.
And no matter how much passion you have - do it day after day and it wears thin.
This ceo with the 4 months off a year has not a clue what it is like to only get 2 weeks off and not have any money to do anything.
@@darcymoon2109 everyone have a different definition as to what “fun” means. Some people love to crunch numbers, others cringe at the thought of having to do taxes even once per year or budget once a month. There’s always going to be some level of grunge work even when running your own business of your preferred choosing even one where it truly is your life’s passion doing so. That’s just life and we need to trudge through it to get it done…or pay someone else to do so, but even then you have to work to make money to pay to outsource that task either way. So you can either suck it up and just do it, or suck up doing something else to make money to do so-your pick. So yes, while you’re not going to love 100% of your job 100% of the time, you CAN choose to do so you love and either way, your job choice is just that-a CHOICE and you can choose where you want to work at, whether you want to work, your chosen career path, whether to start your own business instead of doing so, but yes, you DO get to choose what you want to do. You can choose a sucky job, or one you love. And just because you love your job, doesn’t mean everyone around you does/will as well, same goes for your neighbors/friends/family because we all do have different interests in life. That’s not called being naïve, that’s called being realistic, having logic and sensible because that’s the truth of it all. If you love what you do, you can look past the crap load part of it and it wears thinner on those who already hate/dislike/don’t care for what they’re doing. Ultimately, you get to choose how bad it sucks for you either way. It is a matter of perspective. You get to choose whether you want walk into work with a mentality of wanting to punch the next 8yr who walks in the door in the face or you can get over your issues and treat it like it is-a job you’re getting paid to do and smile and be polite or you can actually find something you do love about your workplace/employees/clients/environment/etc or you can choose to find a new job somewhere else that suits your passions a lot better. No one is forcing you to love your job or even making you go every day except yourself! Life’s too short to stay somewhere you hate if you’re horribly miserable. That’s not ‘privilege’ when everyone on this planet has that same option to make that choice and the only one hold you back hating on that job you’re forcing yourself to stay at that you hate so much-expect yourself! But, yes, there ARE people out there who do love their jobs and are living their dreams out to the fullest! The sad part about all of this is that you there are people out there who think they can’t do the same because they’re brainwashed into thinking that doing so is “naïve”. There’s sucky parts in life everywhere you look and have to deal with that as well. It won’t be 100% peachy keen all the time, but that is just how life goes for anything. If you have kids, you may love them to death but hate changing diapers. You want and love your car, but hate having to pay to fill it up and maintain it. You want a spouse, but don’t always 100% agree with them and need to learn to navigate around communication to get your needs met. You choose to stay single and maybe you have times where you get lonely. You need to eat 3x a day, but maybe you hate cooking. You love the idea of owning your own home, but hate that you have to call a plumber to fix the leaky pipe…..the list goes on and on. Same goes for life circumstances, not just at your job/career. That doesn’t mean you can’t make those choices and still want those things. If we didn’t care about anything unless we were 100% satisfied all the way around, we wouldn’t ever do/have/be anything in life ever because life doesn’t work that way.
There ARE “fun” careers out there that people DO get paid to do-that IS obviously assuming that you DO love what you’re doing. My oldest aspires to work at LEGO one day and I’m living my dream career in as an artist painting. While he doesn’t work there now, you can’t tell me that a company like LEGO got to where it is today because they don’t have fun there and there aren’t people who want to join them in their mission to bring fun and happiness to the world for others. So, yes, so you can get paid to have a fun job you do love. I’m proof of that! Work/jobs do not necessarily have to equate to laborious and drudgery! Those are, for the most part, arbitrary standards we put on ourselves. If that’s what you believe, I feel sorry for you that you never aspired to do better for yourself. Life’s to short to ‘have’ to do something you hate for so much time of your life for so long!
Lol the most realistic employee on this show.
The CEO must be hard pressed to find someone who is passionate about dipping minging hands into wax for what is probably minimum wage. Fair play to the employee for telling it how it is.
Gets 23 an hour
@@jameshusentoff2953 wait thats what they pay over there?
Yep Yankee candle is actually a great company to work for. My grandma has been working there for years.
Props to the CEO as well. He showed great leadership. Most CEOs would’ve fired him and found the next miserable soul. He actually tried to get the whole picture of the situation. Including the employees personal hardship. That’s true leadership.
It's rough sometimes. you can be passionate about something, and have life unexpectedly drag you down.
I was working a job I loved and found out at 32 years old, that I have celiac disease, and am most likely on the spectrum. I got intussusception from unintentionally eating everything I'm not supposed to (which is how i found out in the hospital) and put myself off work for over 3 weeks almost requiring surgery.. unfortunately i was not unionized yet, under my 3 month probationary, and they weren't willing to hold my position for me. I've felt like punching or breaking something for the past little bit myself.
you go your whole life thinking everything is fine and your just a little weird and BAM suddenly you might have asbergers, and a minor disease... and a whole lot of people go through much worse than me every day. it's understandable that you can't be sunshine and roses all the time.
this kid is probably getting paid like 10 dollars an hour and the ceo wants passion out of him? this is how out of touch ceos are
This aired in 2012 when Massachusetts minimum wage was $8.00, so they probably paid around $9.00/hour. $315 (after tax) a week is complete shit. The CEO was making an average of $885/hour.
He would have had to work 98.5 hours just to make what the CEO made in 1 hour.
@@johndouglas847 Yes entry level with no skills vs running a billion dollar company...
@@asianwaffles69 which is fine, but don't expect passion and leadership for that wage.
@@dougfoster445 I got fired from my first job for saying I was there for a paycheck. I agree with that. But the comparison was not related. Passion in a job is a dream for most.
Lmfao "it's a paycheck"
CEO: "everything ok at home"
That escalated quickly
Kid - "gotta make sure your emotions don't show from home"
CEO - "everything okay at home?"
Guy was choking up though
It just showes that he care
The guy with the glasses is very cleaver. He was very calm sitting there talking to the CEO. Probably was thinking...how can I get the CEO to believe my B.S Story and hopefully he will make me a manager of the store where I can sit on my ass all day and play video games in the office. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@360core6 leave it to beaver 🦫
Yep at around $30 per candle this kid is right it’s just a paycheck. There are better opportunities than coming home smelling like flavored wax
Thank you!
Facts and Funny, Them Candles Do cost too much and Some don’t even have the house Smelling legit 🤷🏾♂️😁
The CEO was really out of touch and needs to reevaluate who the majority of his employees are in demographic. If majority are young then it's clearly just a paycheck to them to get by for bills and college dunno what else you expect.
True, but people shouldn't stay at jobs that they don't enjoy. They should find somewhere where they want to advance. I think all young men need to work in warehouses or construction when they are 18. It creates work ethics. It gives them skills. Those skills learned along the way, could be assets to advance once you find something to make a career out of.
Flavored 👀 please don't taste the candles 😂. ( I will clarify this is a joke)
I've seen his clip on the line a handful of times, but this is the first time seeing the afterwards meeting.
It's so nice to see some compassion instead of just canning him. To quickly offer his mentorship is wonderful. Genuine care.
I fully agree that 'this is a paycheck'. Most people never want to make career in retail customer service.
Agreed, he was nice about it. As long as he actually follows through with his offer to help and wasn't just performing for the camera.
Maybe I'm jaded, but it's because cameras were rolling.
Dudes making 9 bucks an hour selling 30 - 80 dollar candles in a strip mall of course he hates it
It's almost as if he put in an application for them
@@kennettwyndham194 it's almost as if you need to put an application in somewhere to afford to live and eat.
@@Cernunnnos if you complain about your job you don't deserve the job
@@faithsanchez5457 "cast no stones lest ye have stones cast upon thee.
Repent child, and breath deep of our mercy. For you are not worthy of our cattle's cudd."
@@Cernunnnos you sound like a Bible reading Crack addict 😂
Lmao why would this guy expect people to be passionate about dipping strangers hands in wax all day
And low wages
it does seem quite delusional. sure the owner might be really passionate about dipping peoples hands but thats not his job. i bet it would drive him insane if he knew that he had to put peoples hands into wax for 8 hours to stay alive rather than doing it for fun and being the owner. he seems like the type of guy to put "looking for employees who are here for the job and not the paycheck" into the hiring process.
It's about service , people who try hard at any job will succeed compared to those just "getting a pay check"
@@DRIFT_CORE not necessarily
@@Familyguy808 I think you may have it confused business owners aren't just doing it for fun because they own it lol
If Yankee Candle is looking for store employees who want to make it a career, they are gonna get really short on employees really quickly.
Thank you!
Without seasonal Employees they would be FU***D.
You don't need to be passionate to work in a canndle shop. it's a candle shop!
I wouldn’t be too passionate about dipping peoples hands in wax either.
What's wrong with all you , this looks actually relaxing and fun
@@faithsanchez5457 not the point the only reason he picked the job is for money idk who tf has a passion in some shitty minimum wage job.
@@Yoobster People who don't want to be lazy and actually have bills lol you still don't complain about your job unless you want to be dismissed lol, as a employee telling new employees that you want to punch small children in the face is seriously not ok but only a boss would understand 🤔
@@faithsanchez5457 It was a figure of speech. I highly doubt he would ever punch a kid. Nobody likes going to work. The best part about work is when you get paid.
How psyched can someone being making candles.. especially as a career.. what advancement can there be. Congratulations you’re senior candlemaker lol
I think the point it's about attitude. Rudeness is never acceptable even for low paid jobs.
@@catiag1558 he wasn't rude to customers or even to other staff members.
He aired frustrations to a new colleague.
This is how most workers are going to talk to each other about on the job frustrations. Especially at minimum wage retail jobs.
@@Cernunnnos go to Japan and see the difference in service attitude. You could not tip even if you wanted to, and it will be excellent
@@gickygackers and Japan is super socially fucked in other ways.
What's your point?
Would you want to work in a work culture where the boss is seen as some sort of overlord who can demand things of you and you have to comply no matter how unreasonable?
How about non work related things like having to go out drinking either the boss after work if he tells you?
Grass is always greener on the other side till you get there mate.
@@Cernunnnos "A culture where you are required to socialize with your boss outside of work is super socially fucked." "Your boss is paying you to do what he tells you, but you have the choice to leave. That's a culture where that's super socially fucked."
The boss expects people to look at that job with career goals? It is a paycheck lol
I know. I felt like the CEO was full of himself. Unlike the CEO of Checkers, I did not like this CEO. YUCK. What arrogance.. trying to sound all super professional. It's likely a very boring job, lol.
For real. It's a job, not a career. At best you can aim for manager, but most people just need money for school/home.
I find it annoying when top bosses/CEOs want a "bottom rung" employee making barely above minimum wage to take a job so serious, like it's their life passion. I think a person should take their job serious, but only to an extent. At the end of the day, if a person isn't the main boss or above, it's just a job. The top bosses need to understand that.
You DO know they make 23 an hour right?? At Yankee Candle...
@XstonedmonkeyzX I did not know that. I would expect more too.
@@dude208099 its a pretty decent place to work at. So yeah, he was complaining a bit much 🤣
When you find an employee whose only flaw is saying bullshit too much, consider yourself lucky, 💯
This employee had way worse issues.
@@meganbarber3599 yeah, like only making minimum wage at a 💩multi-million dollar chain store. 💯 Losing your dignity on national television by having a smug millionaire CEO tell them they have a foul mouth is way worse than saying bull💩.
@@hollyholy641 He talked multiple times about wanting to hurt children. Kinda think that's a much bigger flaw.
@@meganbarber3599 Bro he works in customer service with kids being obnoxious Multiple people have the thought of hurting kids in customer service the difference is going through with the action
@@meganbarber3599I’m sure he was at his wits end since parents nowadays don’t discipline their kids, don’t teach them to respect other’s workspace, nor watch their kids in a public place. I’m sure yankee candle does not have a babysitter position and that’s not what he was hired or employed to do.
When he had the curly wig and goatee he seemed likeable and human. As soon as the suit and side parting came on he transformed into a corporate lizard overlord with no emotion
Man was dressed as ronald mcdonald what ya expect?
Fast Times at Ridgemont High Cosplay.
They say the suit makes the man, but I think it makes the mindset. And it's harder to have a thoughtful, humble mindset with a suit like that on.
Corporate lizard overload.. haha. Yep, that fits the non-edgar suit version of ceo perfectly
I thought he was very reasonable and personable.
I think the CEO showed more compassion than most would’ve
Lots of people want to try to look good on tv lolll
@@alexis112 yeah, I can tell if there was no cameras, that poor dude would've just been fired for being unhappy
It’s pretty easy to tell he was putting up a front, you can tell by his eyes and mannerisms he’s cold lmao.
Nope. Was alllllll for the camera's. Kid got fired, no help to be found.
Love the boss’ demeanor!
Soothing, grounded, gentle, empathetic.
Rare qualities in business.
He’s a genuine leader.
I want a boss like that! A boss who tells me "let's work together to find a job that really satisfies you"
so you need your hand held like a child
I currently have a boss exactly like that. It’s amazing. I was working in a crappy position I hated, talked him about it. And now he’s moving into a position I’m actually passionate about and mentoring me on how to advance more
@@canman7773 Wow! That's fantastic. Are they hiring? 😄
It seems likely that he's saying what will make him and his company look good. Cynical? Maybe.. but you don't get to the top in America without being ruthless.
sorry to say this but that means he's fired lmfao.
Keeping it real "it's a paycheck". What a respectable answer lol
"don't call me mister I'm not that old".... Oh okay. Lol
I'm actually in this situation; I'm trying to find a job that I feel excited to go to work and not something that makes me want to push myself too hard to really feel so happy.
It's all a matter of perspective. Once you start appreciating what you regardless of your problems always remember your life is many other people's dreams. Once you get in that mindset everything new is a blessing. If it happens it's great and if not you are already happy.
Jobs may not always be exciting but they pay the bill, what you do outside of the job of during your breaks could be exciting or working hard to save up for vacation could be exciting.
truth be told, you will probably always be looking for that, I know I am, you think you find it then something will spoil it (usually people, or you realise how much your time is worth to the company, but how little they pay you in comparrison) my advice, work for yourself, find something you can get into the groove with that you can do in your own time at your own pace.. thats the hard bit, till then, any job is experience as it will feed you with information that you can make better decisions on.

@@SevenHunnid I'm very glad you're living well and happy! Everyone has to find their own way to walk towards their dream. 🤔 I deal with people's investments, money and their futures.

Just don't go into Vet Med, whatever you do...
I LOVED his honesty.
I love the employee's honesty and the CEO's compassion.
A crappy job for a pay check sounds honest to me.
Wow, I didn’t know Matthew McConaughey was the CEO of yankee candle
alright alright alright
this is a very underrated comment
The CEO helped him pursue something he would enjoy...
In other words, our Dude was directed to the Unemployment line.
Considering that this was televised, there had to be some kind of consent. Average workplace cameras are the usual and don't require consent. Saying that, and he got exposed a million plus times over what an average employee would, this young dude has some hard issues and it would have been less than fair to bring him in after exposing him and just cutting him off. He's probably not their only one like this. Having said this, I know that thousands of us just leave our crap in the parking lot when we go in to work and make the best of it and even enjoy it.
From what I know they tell employees it’s a game show to win a franchise or something.
@@kainxjm oh wow
I hope they gave him another chance
They always ask consent AFTER it's recorded or they can't publish it .
@@lizacombs7568
Wrong.
Props to the CEO for not just firing him. Not for 'not having passion' or whatever BS, but for stating he wanted to harm 8yo customers. I think most would have said okay that's that and canned him... but this guy took the time to show some compassion, realize it's just a statement of frustration not literal and actually try and help the guy. Great way to handle it.
You be surprised how even mothers feel this way.
I’d love a parody version, where they meet separately, and the CEO UNLOADS on him like real life managers do in some work places. Lol
Lmao his face when he said “I’m not that old” 😂
Sometimes a job really is just a paycheck.
Most of the time even. No one should ever have to feel bad about that either
😡Why aren’t these people passionate about sticking strangers hands in candle wax?! If he IS passionate about sticking strangers hands in candle wax that guy needs to be put on a LIST. CEOs don’t know what it’s like with the rest of us roaches
Right like pay the kid $20/hr and see how passionate he gets about his job. Probably a hella lot more passionate then he is getting paid minimum wage.
First and foremost: this show sounds 90% scripted. I wouldnt be surprised if some of the people are actors and dont actually work for the company. In realtiy, most episodes would just be people doing their work as they are expected to, they would definitely hold back any negative energy knowing there is a TV team around and guess what: not everyone has an interesting backstory.
But aside the fact its a written script: the way he feels and works is just fine for a low paying job. We go to work to afford a life, we dont live to go to work. I personally like my job, but i dont give a shit about my CEOs visions. I want the time and resources i need to deliver my best, but i dont care if i like or dislike our products, visions, etc. Im there to do a job, not to join a religion. As long as we are not talking some inhumane company like nestle, im there to trade my skills and time for a paycheck.
they had an undercover boss in my town, my buddy that worked there said that he had no idea because the camera team claimed they were there for a “documentary”
It's scripted reality. They record everything and then clip and stick things together to make a good story out of it.
Well if you don’t care about my visions you’re fired!
My EXACT thoughts , then I glanced down and saw your comment. : ) XOXO
Well then quit or make your own business we live in a capitalist country you can make your own business or franchise and plant your visions.
I hope that he got the help that he wanted and needed
For a moment I thought the boss was Woody Harrelson.
😂😂
The boss of yankee candle is soooo nice. I was blown away by how he went about things in the most neutral and helpful manner. Truly a leader and a good boss if this is really how he is.
Funny he thinks it's one employee who hates their job lol
Facts, I expect most of the employees there hate their job. At least he didn’t just fire the guy.
I very much admire this kid’s honesty. I hope that he’s doing alright for himself now.
He got shafted! Where’s the $?! The incentives and perks?! Nothing but an old “I’d like to help you.” Then Boom, camera is off and you’re F’N fired pickle boy!
LOL the way you said it made me laugh hahahahaha
@@abdulheisenberg8781 me too!
bro i'd love to have a dude in that position offer mentorship
He actually got moved up and ended up working behind the scenes in the factory with an office position doing inventory, which allowed him to pursue his business degree.
Atleast he's honest
This dude is real 💯 I hope he has an amazing life, love u bro
I love that the CEO was willing to help him find a job that he would rather do ❤️ that is great leadership there!
You don’t need to call me mr, I’m not that old 😂😂😂😂😂😂
The more you love your decisions, the less you need others to love your decisions. ♡
You never know what someone is going through. Dont judge anyone.
Every employee in America would like to speak with you sir lmao
He has the truly CEO attitude & patient👌😉
It’s like being called up to the principal office
Edit: Guidance councilor 😭😂😭😭😭
Hey bud most all of us have our Yankee candle to go to. You were put in a very difficult position, and I have felt like slapping the spoiled kid... You didn't lose it in front of the biggest boss you were! Likely to meet... and this showed you are man. Talk to this man (you have already) good luck with your new role... I'm sure it will be a good one, and right for you - if he still employs you, he must be classed as a good boss (even though he got great advertising on the tele🤔)
“The HAND you’ve been dealt” 😅
Such compassion
Your selling candles bro it is a paycheck 🤣
It’s important to discover what your true interest are, have counseling and roll models who truly care. Wish I could’ve had them
That's what everyone wants, a job they can look forward to going to every morning, but 99% of people will never have that. It's unreasonable, in my opinion, for him to expect people to be happy and enthusiastic about doing this kind of job. Where's the reward in dipping peoples hands in wax or selling them a candle?
You want them to be enthusiastic? Pay them more. Not an average wage, an above average wage for this sort of job, that's what turns a poor employee into a grateful one, if you know you're getting paid well for the position you're in, you appreciate the work more and give better customer service, which means happier customers. You're also more able to shake off those annoying customers as just part of the job.
It pays $23/hr. Little baby boy wants more. Wish I got paid that much.
Pay more? Then Boy you better go to school and get some above average skills because you don’t deserve to get paid especially with his “temper” first he’s gotta go to therapy and get some unresolved childhood trauma
I get what he was trying to say it just didn’t come out right 😂😂
😭🥺 he helped him! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 such an amazing man!
I feel him on the kids I work at a eye clinic
I’m guessing the only guy who is passionate about candles. Is the guy who is running a candle company.
This episode was back in 2013..... the question is - where is this kid now? did it all work out or was part of this just a 'show' for the CEO to look like he cared?
Honestly? My guess is he collected the paycheck and kept on working on his acting career.
No one would say this stuff while having a mic and a camera shoved in your face. Even if he fell for the costume: he knows hes part of a tv show - he knows his boss would see this. So either he is part of the stores team and was casted for this role or he is an external freelancer who was contracted to act as an employee of this company.
@@emojack if you know your boss is going to see something not sure I would want to portray myself as a narcissistic psychopath. They aren’t actors by the way.
@@TheSjuris they have no media training, and the production team is definitely doing all they can to set them up to say stupid shit on TV and editing it to look stupid if they didn't.
You could probably make more having a career at a fast food restaurant then having a career at Yankee candle lol.
He just pulled the Uno card
"my life sucks, feel sorry for me"
Damn talk about having zero empathy for a guy who is barely making enough to survive. Meanwhile, his boss makes how much a year? Work retail sometime, it’ll change your mind.
Ceo looked way more natural in the wig lol
Got Mentor? (should be a t-shirt)
It is so important to have that person who puts you under wing and serves as your guide. They don't have to do it, yet they see hope in the future in you.
Of course, you have to take full advantage of the gift and blessing.
That is not to say that formal education is not necessary, it is!
Can't tell you all the times I have been so fortunate to have had that gift. It has given me a much wider perspective of people and the world at large.
I bask every time in the opportunity to now pass what I can to this younger generation.
Pass on to others what knowledge you have, no matter how great or small. All of it is needed. If not, it will be lost.
All the best.
Yeah, working for nothing for someone else's suit and tie - that's exactly the "career" this young man had in mind. Its too bad (for him) he said something not perfectly PC on the job. Kids (and adults) in retail as a customer can be monsters sometimes (as well as awesome) humans. I'm soooo glad Blaze said, "this is a paycheck ", that worker has his priorities straight, and he's honest. The CEO is enjoying flexing his perceived power and watching someone squirm, and thinking he's important. He may actually be, but coming off that way is not anyone I'd work for - or rather WITH. Respect is a two-way street and much better for business. Yes, we have kids so they'll grow up and have careers at the McDonald's of Candle shops - NOT! Please, Mr. CEO I'd be stoked you had an honest person there trying to cope with awful people. Some 8 year olds act poorly, its Blaze that didn't ACT poorly. That's maturity. I hope Blaze's next "boss" is a kinder, less condescending human. Blaze, get out the there, you can do SOO much better, with half your brain tied behind your back - all day. And I recommend you not work somewhere that you are forced to deal with icky people (and keep smiling because you don't count). Yankee candle is wayyy beneath you. Dang, I used to love Yankee Candles. This show was very illuminating.
It’s not particularly mature to admit to want to beat customers up when not at work. It means that you have anger issues and are possibly a narcissistic psychopath.
Agree. The CEO is a jerk. His wig was horrible too.
@@TheSjuris You have not worked in retail.
I feel the same way when I head to work. I hate my job but i have to motivate myself every morning and say " things will get better" I am living paycheck after paycheck and I don't feel that it is a career but just a paycheck. Especially when you are working with people who has favoritism of the same race and culture. You feel left out and you feel like a nobody. I work hard and I don't feel appropriate on the hard work I do. But again I just have to keep that thought in my mind " THINGS WILL GET BETTER , JUST WAIT A LITTLE LONGER "
This kid needs his own TV show. He understands television.
Setting the fact that this is obviously staged aside. You never divulge things like that to your coworkers because if its a work friend that you only see at work then they aren't your friend, now its a different story if you regularly hang out outside of work/chat/play video games online and have crossed into the realm of friendship.
most people, especially young, come to work just for a paycheck. You can't expect them to be "passionate" about it, especially if it's an entry level job. As a business owner, you need to create a friendly environment but you can't expect people to be passionate about it. I used to work in retail when I was young and it always felt so fake when the managers demanded us to be passionate about some outfits. Give me a break ..
I love this, the ceo didn't just dump a lot of money on him like so many of the bs episodes. He offered mentoring to help him find a path he'd enjoy.
Agree!
"You don't need to call me Mr Kent.. because you don't work for me anymore."
*If* my bills were pretty much paid, I'd totally work this kind of job for relaxation and for discounts to amazing scents 😁
IF*
Yay finally the next part
Best completely unrealistic disguise ever.
Take a career assessment test and then go volunteer or internship at a place that you want to join. Your job is just a bridge to get to where you want to go.
Yes. Most high schools and community colleges offer these tests. Heck, I bet that you can find them online. It's a place to start, at least.
That boss actually seems like a really nice guy and so does the lad. I wish them both well 🙏🏻
Whaaaaaaaaaat !!! He didn’t give him any money 🤣
You can tell he’s holding onto other peoples problems and he takes it out on others…
I see a lot of comments here that are pretty depressing. I used to have a business and I can tell you right now I loved it when people would talk to me about what they wanted and share ideas they had to make things better. If you’re not happy talk to someone if you’re able and do it with a genuine approach that you want to do the best job you can. Most managers or owners don’t know how the employees feel because the employees are scared to open up. With that said some managers and bosses are just asshats and you’re better off going somewhere else
This is helpful, though of course there can always be more nuance. It's not always the specific job that someone isn't passionate about it can also be the sector or industry itself. And that likely won't change with just a conversation. And to that point I get where he said it's just a paycheck. I don't think it's necessary to be passionate about your job to carry it out, though it helps.
Also to the point of employees not opening up to managers I think it's a task that requires both sides to create an environment for transparency and openness. I was lucky enough to have managers that encouraged such traits, which gave me the confidence to share. And to your point it helped all of us improve professionally and improved our morale
@@MIent1313 absolutely. I’ve worked jobs that I hated because I needed a check. That’s a necessity sometimes. However, if you’re in that situation then spend every moment of your free time looking for a new path. Don’t escape into alcohol or games or TV or drugs. It’s so easy to do when you’re not happy and you just want to relax. It will pay off though if you put the work on finding a new path even when you would rather do literally anything else
"I want you to act like you're always at Yankee candle"
If an older dude with a bad wig starts working around you and asks for training, it's "Undercover Boss" for sure!
It’s pretty easy to tell ceo was putting up a compassionate front, you can tell by his eyes and mannerisms he’s cold lmao.
I was wondering what was wrong with that kids hair until I seen he wears a Kangol. 🤣
Why did Dan look better with the wig 🤣🤣
They really thought that wig was acceptable 😂
ceo looks like a phil coulson
There is SOOOOO much crap going on in the world, affecting people every day, getting stressed and full of anxieties......and there's nobody to talk to. Finding somebody that is willing to listen, can ACTUALLY understand you without being judgemental and condescending, and WANT to help you work through things is a rarity.
What’s crazy is these ppl say you gotta be passionate about the job but how can you be passionate when your workin for somebody else’s dream??
So wild to see Harlan. So much has changed in 10 years.
He's gone. There is zero chance he is kept on. It would be a legal liability to the CEO to have him stay.
Wrong
NGL with the wig on, I thought he was Woody Harrelson (Venom) at first.
Lmao he looks like shaggy from Scooby doo😂 I'd probably get fired trying to smoke with him
Mate what a nice ceo how cool was he
Then the cameras turn off and he's handed his walking papers lol
He saved him and so I hope he listens!
I like this kid, hes honest full on, even if you don't like what he might say
Now that is a great CEO
Sometimes we know we can be the greatest we just need that 1 person to give a helpin hand
“My dad beat his drug and alcohol addiction so I’m mad when I come to work”, lol what?
He looks like Woody Harrelson with hair 😂
