I would understand a boss going undercover to investigate where things are least efficient and whether their subordinates are lying about safety violations at a lower cost than getting an actual investigation.

The word “subordinates” disgusts me.
Luckily I’ve never had to work with someone who felt they were above the other members of their team.HawlSera@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
Subordinate has a lot of implications, and typically I only hear it used to talk about people working for the bad guy…

It probably wasn’t staged sadly. Those privileged billionaires saw the struggling employees as the exception, not the rule.
I know it wasn’t because there was an episode where an employee disillusioned with life and struggling with drug addiction was fired “As a favor to him”, and it was framed as being super wholesome, even though now that guy without any financial support and no way to get help will likely relapse harder than he ever has…

“It gives you the chance to put your life back in order” and other empty platitudes that ignore what’s really happening.

I understand that you’re quoting. This is no criticism of your comment. I consider myself fairly adept at imitating the mental gymnastics. But here, I’m at a loss.
