I feel like the Undercover Boss concept was underdeveloped. I wanted to see a “boss” actually live on the wages they paid, find a place to rent, buy groceries and pay utilities, and basically swap lives with an employee for 6 months. Then at the end of 6 months, the employee gets to decide if they want to swap back.
I always hated undercover boss because of the temporary nature of the arrangement. Anybody can live on rice and beans for a week if they have to, it’s the knowing that it will end and you can go back to your opulence that makes it bearable. They really need to experience no hope to get the real picture. The weight on your conscience 24/7 knowing that it will never get better is what crushes people.
Like when that dipshit millionaire thought he could start over with nothing and be making a million dollars within a year, and then he had to “give up” at like 5 months in because his dad got sick and he was basically homeless living off the kindness of people he knew when he was rich. And he claimed it was a success.
Host: “Today on Life Swap, we check back in with the Waltons, who are now working as associates in one of their rural Mississippi stores.”
Walton #3: [collapses]
Team Lead Kenny: [pokes Walton #3 with a stick] “Get up! We need this zone stocked asap!”
Walton #3: [unmoving]
Team Lead Kenny: “Sorry, man. This is like your third write-up this month. I’m gonna have to ask for your badge and vest.”
Walton #3: [quivering slightly]
Host: “Whoops! Looks like Walton #3 is fired for gross negligence and insubordination! Stay tuned next week when they load paving stones into their customers’ vehicles during a humid Mississippi heat wave without water breaks!”

Rice and beans are awesome I live on them even when I have money to not do so
“Life Swap” I like it.

I mean… Schitt’s Creek is fictional but it’s definitely entertaining.
