Watched undercover boss about Pickfords, the removal company.
I found it quite annoying but a bit unsurprising that an MD is so far removed from the front line they don't know what is going on.
4 things got to me.
Poor rate of pay for porters, £8 something an hour
Crew sleeping in the back of removal lorries on "blankets"
Disgusting working conditions at one of the sites, Barking
No pay rise for 11? years
Why did the MD not know these things, where was the management structure passing grievances up the chain or was it lower management not wanting to raise anything in case they themselves were viewed in a bad light?
That MD really needs/needed to look at his management and ask them why he did not know!
I suspect there are other big name companies where the top table have not got a clue about those on the front line, or do they know but not care?
