I'm genuinely shocked by the sheer arrogance of the (former) owner. Whilst he's certainly entitled to profit off of his company's success, it is absurd to think that your employees should fix your pay structure when you're taking home a £1m *salary*. It's poor management. Employees are the backbone of any company, and largely responsible for that success.

I love at the end how it was his win. Narcissistic sociopath for sure.

This came across less like an actual documentary and more like a partially scripted "reality " show. (It had an Undercover Boss vibe to it.) There's a reason that the policy was that the workers weren't allowed to discuss their earnings and it all has to do with keeping people in line and corporate greed. No CEO in their right mind would have reversed a policy that was clearly working to their benefit. In the real world, being told to work it out amongst themselves would've caused an angry outrage towards upper management and HR. They are the ones who determine the salaries and are accountable as such. Love this channel but not totally buying this story.

✨ Playing with peoples lives that way is genuinely classless. If he were my employee, I would allow him to hand in his notice, immediately upon my finding out. Pay the next guy less, dividing what was save leveling off each department. Never allowing it to happen again under a special iron clad charter mandate. The owner truly was the most, "Make it easier for me, let them suffer over finding the solution." self-centered arrogant creature. Who probably made money from the documentary as well.✨

I can't even believe what I just watched. A boss pitted his employees against each other like some sort of Hunger Games nonsense. Instead of paying them what they deserve, he psychologically bullied them into taking pay cuts in order to give others a living wage. He offered a measley amount himself. Having a customer service rep beg colleagues for a raise was utterly humiliating for her. And in end, off the boss trotted, with his plucked eyebrows, dyed hair l, botoxed face, mansion and Bentley - calling the entire experiment a roaring success. This entire scenario should be illegal. I cannot believe he could get away with this. I can't believe nobody stood up and said they weren't going to take this abuse. But they are desperate for jobs and this arrogant, manipulative boss knows it. What a thoroughly rotten person.

The HR Manager and owner need to bang their heads together. Get a consistent payscale, job descriptions and stop asking employees to shift their salaries.

If the engineers owned the company themselves, would they have brought the van savings to light sooner? The engineers, plumbers and drainage people preform a service that exserts more physical labor on their bodies, and work around toxins which can have health implications later in life. They left out the information on which plumbers bring in the most customers. Personally when something goes wrong for me, I call a friend or use online reviews for references. So which employees bring in the most positive customer reviews for the company. Too much pertinent information has been left out of this documentary.

Strange their style was so structure-less.

Call centre team simply, without a reasoning, appealing to engineers for their heart, that was too strange. They don't count all the engineers' training and their tuitions to get where they are now? I don't know if this style is the norm in the UK, but in Canada, if the company is as big as this one, there usually is a pay structure all set out by HR and also a performance review annually.

Really enjoyed watching this

About 3/4s of the jobs (exclusively male cabinetmaking workshops) I've worked at, everyone earns a different wage. Why? Because the employer during the interview asks "What do you expect to make?" and it's up to you do negotiate your wage based on your skills and experience. And the business has an interest in managing labour costs with worker retention. I'm thinking that a "gender wage gap" is based solely on women being less confrontational and having poorer negotiating skills or poor self-esteem issues that lowers their view of their self-worth in the workforce. The way to solve this is to make it mandatory for every job to list the wage in the job advertisement.

It all depends on hours worked and what job a person does. I am a machinist running computer controlled industrial milling and lathes. The women machinist make the exact same based on senority ad we are a union shop. I even work for Johnson and Johnson the biggest health care company in the world. They use affirmative action and its racist and our union fights for people with the qualifications not the wanted color or sexual orientation. More places should unionize if they are unhappy with wages. I make about the same as the nurse practioner I go to at the DR office. She said she makes 36 an hour I make 40 plus per hour.

This whole experiment is silly, no one is going to take a pay cut at work, everyone wants more money, you should’ve put a proper pay structure in place for your own and your employees protection that’s just simple business. The part where the workers go into the call centre is the most ridiculous thing, personally I have worked on phones, I’m now an on the tools tree surgeon, so put me in that test I would piss it, a lot of guys I’ve worked with on the tools got into their industries because of the lack of phones/computers/writing/talking required; “workmen” can be who they are, people on the phones are pretending to be someone else it’s a different skill, which earn entirely different sums for the company and personally for the job. Lurch has it bang on, you knew what you was getting before you accepted the job, if you don’t like it go elsewhere, if you want to be on the workman’s money go and spend the years it takes on low paid apprentice wages to learn the skills and acquire the knowledge it takes to do their job. Talking from experience I participated in a 2 year apprenticeship with tree work, previously in telesales, albeit different to customer service it’s still on the phones and you are taught everything within a week or 2 and left to your own devices thereafter, there’s not a trade on this planet where you can do that, which should answer all your questions before filming this show.

@@anjab4475 i know this is a older documentry. But in this day and age it's actually really common for newer employes to earn more than people that have been at the company for a while. Where i live there is a huge demand for workers, so if you decide to switch jobs you can ask for alot. So in that case you often earn more than someone that has been at the company for years.

@@anjab4475 maybe he has a degree and negotiated his salary. Maybe he’s a better salesmen and that’s how he got a better salary because he sold himself better in his interview. Also if you listened he was hired to work nights, maybe he switched his schedule and they never noticed. Or maybe he actually does work both days and nights and if that’s the case then am he should get paid more. This documentary didn’t give us any context. Just like the guys doing the body work that made 31k and 40k. What if the guy making 40k went to school and the other guy didn’t? What if his work is way better? Just because people have the same title doesn’t mean they do the same work. I’m a carpenter for my local government and I actually was in the union and started as an apprentice. I went to trade school for 5 years and have many certification, should I make the same as the guy who’s mother got him the job because she knows someone? The dude I’m speaking about doesn’t even know how to hang drywall or grid out a ceiling but he was hired anyway. Should he make the same money as me?

Nice to see Danny on here, hi Danny ... From the other Danny from the fish shop in mottingham...hope all is well with you.

The boss agreed to match whatever the employees managed to raise, right? Why all the animosity towards him?

And to make them do other peoples jobs is ridiculous 21:05 especially when they didn’t have the same training some people aren’t trained to do that kind of work that’s why they didn’t apply for that position also the phone answers or whatever they are called should have to do the technicians job aka working with the actual sewage.

Will the output remain the same after the increase? What is the inflation rate?

Great! This is an example that humanity is not hopelessly bad. And a proof that it's not facts or information that change peoples minds, but stories and narratives. I am proud of those who sacrificed for others, they gained much more, than they lost. Actually that what they gave is that what they have.

Always surprised when I see things with that Charlie in it. Beggars belief he has become successful.

I've worked in IT now for just over 15 years and lots of different companies and in all that time i've worked with lots of men and women. I don't like to generalise, however i'll make an exception here. Both women and men could be lazy and often were. However there were a handful of people who always worked hard, doing all the overtime possible, making sure to get everything correct first time and always the last people to pack away their stuff at the end of their shift. Out of 100's of different people i've worked with, every time except from 1 occasion these people were always men. These people earned more than most of the other people due to their overtime, and their ability to work hard and do their job well. It mean they got a higher raise each year due to their efforts. And since these people, in my personal experiences were always men that meant for doing the same role, there was a gender pay gap. The women members of staff could fix it of course by working as hard, making sure they're one of the last to leave and do lots of overtime but there was never any interest. apart from one person in one of the companies.

Maybe they're just better than you

yeah lets just adopt economic socialism i am sure people will love that. This is terrible for organizational culture. if the boss paid more for the other workers whether justified or not, ultimately it would pay itself back in employee satisfaction, better retention and less turnover. Employee turnover is the highest cost to any business. They need to hire an Organizational psychologist it could be fixed.

Message to future business owners: Hire only women, they work cheaper!!!
