"Undercover Boss"

     All of this talk about CEOs has reminded me of a television show I have watched a few times called "Undercover Boss." On this reality show, CEOs of huge businesses like Hooter's, Norwegian Cruise Line, Subway, and Chiquita Brand go undercover at entry level jobs at their company, to see what needs to be improved and what is being done right. Many times, the CEOs enter expecting everything to be perfect and well-run. They end up often uncovering unsanitary work practices, overworked employees, and sexual harassment. In the end, after working a week with the low level employees of their company, they do have a whole new appreciation for them and how hard they do work for such low pay.
     This really should be something that every CEO is required to undergo. It is usually true that a CEO is in their boardroom, extremely isolated from the very people who are ensuring that their million dollar salary is getting paid. Many CEOs did not start off at an entry level job at their company, and being able to experience it really does give them a new outlook. I believe if a CEO had started out at an entry level job, or was able to experience one, then they would have a better view of their company as a whole, and would perhaps deserve more of their astronomical salary than they do now. Do you believe CEOs should only be hired out of a pool of those who started off very low in the company and were able to work their way up to the top? Or do rich outsiders with no experience in the company deserve the position of CEO?
