No adult, grown man, or woman, should have to live week to week like that! They made a grown man cry because he was finally being treated RIGHT. THAT'S what is wrong with society, and corporations!!! Treat good workers with the pay, security, and respect that they deserve!

Good luck finding a big corporation that cares about the little people or gives a livable wage. Keep hearing there is a worker shortage and companies are giving great pay, yet all I see are basic $10-$13 wages. That’s not great, that’s insulting

That’s what you get with zero hour contracts. It’s dehumanising and leaves people struggling to know what’s going to happen day to day, you can’t get a mortgage or rent anywhere without a guarantor. It’s a disgrace

There are way too many companies that operate the same way. I was recently doing agency work and the company decided to get rid of all agency staff as it was going quiet. Some (but not enough) do offer temp to perm jobs starting with agency to see if you are up to the job and also gives you a chance to see if you like the job, if you dont then by the same token as they can get rid of you, you can walk out

An honest man cries and made me cry. Its the right thing to do, to have job security. Well DONE

They should hire him directly, and not through the agency.

It's my guess he wanted to. But they have a contract with the agency. And they would have to buy him out which could be costly and cause problems with the agency.

Likely the agency has a contract with the company and unfortunately the way those contracts are written would likely prevent that. If they could I'm sure they would buy every agency worker out.

Surprised that nobody has commented on how why he was crying. Sure, the job security is great. His words: its feeling like a human being, thats what that is. He now feels how we should all feel.

What is wild about this, is you run the damn company and you don't know about these situations? What does that say about you?

And this is why more bosses need to go undercover into there own workplaces. If they really care, they will do this.

The best bosses 🎉on the year 2023. Keep the kindness forever thanks watching from the United Kingdom 🇬🇧. ❤

I'm in the same boat has this guy. I'm 59 years young next week. After 7 months unemployed I finely start a new job. It's agency work for 2 months. But I take what I can get. People think that at this age you are done! Hell no! We have 60 years behind us and sex is still great! I remember in the 80's when they started hiring only young people has it was not only cheaper, but they wanted the young, fresh look for the company. That all ended in the 90's has they didn't have any work experience behind them. They were mostly yuppies in cocktail bars back then. The main problem with agency work is that if an employer likes and wants to hire you full-time. They have to buy your contract out from the agency. And not many want to do that. It's expense!

I can’t believe that good people are still treated this way today.

"We are going to sort it". Notice the boss didn't say anything like " we are going to employ you directly and put you on our staff roll". Why? Because employers who use agency staff do not have to make any pension or N.I. contributions.

actually it is because they have to pay the agency a finders fee if under x amount of time as revealed to me by a shift manager during a job offer when they was getting rid of the agency

So basically the guy responsible for treating the employees like shit for big gains, finally stopped and is now praised a hero.

You're replaceable, it's not that complicated.

I wonder if he’s still there. I assume this was filmed some time ago. I was a temp worker and busted my butt to finally get hired on. So happy to have job security, benefits, better pay. Only for 3 months later for the company to lay off roughly a 1/3 of its staff, and since I was the last hired on I was the first to go. Job security is a myth these days.

love seeing undercover boss in uk so have subbed and pressed bell hello from Scotland

The agency probably takes a 25% cut. Smarter to have dedicated employees. They will care and do better if you look after them

Wow - how 'generous'.

I know what youre saying.. I was hoping he'd say we're takin you on full time permanant staff ... . No yer still agency but longer contract agency.

Crying because you were treated like a human being is a testament that humans are treated like garbage in the workforce.

Sometimes the top gets too many layers better themselves and the people at the other end to see the impact of what outsourcing labour does and the human impact it creates. I truly thought he would be hired outright but the work contract and vacation are a good start. Good luck to him. More need to get out of the office or board room and see the people that do the work. And maybe this style is best for honest answers versus middle managers running around telling people, "Oh the boss is coming."

Good night, Westley. Good work. I'll still definitely fire you next week

Every job is not secure. No matter what they tell you

( Diane). This type of treatment of Employees is Unacceptable!!!! It’s So SAD cuz I was brought up Anti- union. ( grew up in mud 50’s-70’s) …But Most of the companies gave us benefits as unions wanted but companies didn’t have to deal with the Unions!!! 🤔🤔. As an employee of local hospital I got : hourly wage/ time and 1/2 for overtime (40 hours/wk) Paid time off, holiday time (RN) Long term time off ( for like pregnancy/ baby, operation) , Retirement Benefits. Then things started to change! By mid 2000’s companies found it was cheaper to hire people “ part time” And THAT way they didn’t have to pay ANY Benefits!!! Since then Billionaires have multiplied and people who work full time are getting less ( with All things considered) And This is the “ Terrible Things-“ Bernie Sanders has pushed for!!! They try to insult him by calling him a Socialist. But the political agenda that the Republicans are pushing are Authoritarian. Look it Up!!!! Please!!🙏 Do You want a leader who thinks he can TELL you How to Think, How to support your Family, how you Should BELIEVE??( Christian only). Please help us Save our Country??🙏🙏

Good result

I have a relative in this situation but the company he works for are doing all they can to take more money from their workers. Any complaints & they get no work sent through.

Hire him!

I'm an old man (veteran). Haven't had a pay rise in 3 years. Get a 12 month contract every year. This is my last year, no contract next year because my employer wants to hire someone younger and cheaper. That'll be me done. On the scrap heap

They didn't even hire him full time

I don't understand why hiring agencies exists. Why can't companies hire people on their own? It's dumb. Only employees know the details about the job, not agencies. This is why half of ppl quit after a few days because they see that nothing is as the agency was promising.

How about hire him on a full time permanent contract and pay him decently? Not send him and his wife to Butlins smdh

Changing how they employ agency drivers doesnt give anyone job security. He could be out of work in six months. If they are that important to the company why are they agency staff in the first place?

I interpreted it as he is still a temporary worker, but will now have longer contracts. Three months at a clip instead of a week, for example. Better, but if they need a man full time, just hire a full time man already and stop playing agency games.
