I think anybody that has ever had a boss has to remember is that this documentary is from this guy's perspective. We don't actually know what happens, and I can guarantee he doesn't really do anything all day. The CEO can't be training somebody how to butcher, he definitely has a manager that's not getting any credit. He probably has an entire team of managers.

This is how more businesses need to be ran. College has its place but most business can be reated like trade schools. Get someone in on the bottom, build them up, and reward them accordingly. People want to work, they dont want to be taken advantage of.

We export any meat we produce that looks like the meat in this video, cause people here are barely willing to feed it to their dogs & certainly won't feed it to their human families

Sadly, Pat's father forcing him to learn another skill is how many family businesses go under after a couple generations. It was nice to see him have the desire and want to return to what he grew up loving and doing with his father and grand-father on each side, cutting beef.
