Undercover boss is such a bullshit show

[wwwdotamandapleeeasedotcom]

WHY!!!

[fullten-deactivated20240430]

A boss going through all levels of THEIR company? That should be standard. ALL BOSSES SHOULD KNOW WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON. That should be everyday. Like, this is your money? This is your company? You own this? You should know it?

But the endings are the worst. They pick like 4-5 employees, decide whether or not they are “worthy” of the money.

These bosses hear, THEY HEAR, their employees say shit like, “I have to work three jobs to support myself.” “I had to work while I was on chemo because I couldn’t afford not too.” “I can’t even afford to take care of my kids on this salary.”

The boss hears this. Gives them money. Tearful thank you from those 4 employees.

What about your hundreds to thousands of other employees?????

Like these greedy manipulative fucks understand that these people NEED money, but they only give an adequate amount to four people???? When everyone in their company needs the company they are dedicating their lives too to care about them?? And pay them a living wage???

Like, how heartless of a person can you be, to know, TO KNOW, TO SEE IT IN YOUR FACE, that your company is working people to death, and you just give some people money for the cameras and tell your other employees to go fuck themselves

it’s nothing but poverty porn, and a way of making people think that bosses aren’t so bad, see, they gave money to these people so they don’t starve how selfless of them!! ignoring the fact that those people (and all the employees) should’ve been getting a living wage in the first place.

[mintendo96]

Like they portray their hardships as if they arent inherently their fault. Like omfg this person had to work and take care of their dying husband?! That literally would not happen if they gave people adequate healthcare and pay so that when an emergency happens they can take a fucking break. Or the people who say they work three jobs thats because this fucker doesn’t pay a living wage.

Fuck off with your ‘charity’ work when literally being a decent human being would have not created these situations in the first place.

Extreme nationalism is certainly a response to neoliberal capitalism, but it ultimately rings just as hollow - that is, it is just as meaningless. That is the ironic tragedy of it. People who feel alienated by global capitalism feel like what they might be missing is a “homeland” or a “nation” or a “people”- this is how right-wing politics has grown in the face of capitalist realism.

But nationalism is just another spectacle. It is another spectacle built on a meaningless conception that will never fulfill what people are actually craving. Love of country, or love of your “people” is just as meaningless as brand loyalty to Coca-Cola, and it would result in exactly the same kind of alienation (on top of the egregious acts of violence that would result in attempting to build a world based on it).

What people actually want is love - the true kind of love between equals freely given. Loving your nation is just as meaningless as loving Apple over Microsoft. Loving your neighbor is real. It is the ultimate Real. It is the only Real. But the spectacle has so successfully atomized us that it has become increasingly difficult to feel the Real.

Destroy the idea that it’s humble to hate yourself. Destroy the idea that loving yourself is conceited.
