Brooks watched on felling embarrassed and saying:
“The things I saw today,were inappropriate. They were wrong and I don’t want any part of it… the way he approached the girls was not acceptable.”
On day 4:Brooks became the assistant manager to Marcee, respectful and nurturing single mom struggling to balance work with home life.
On day 5:He went back to Atlanta’s Naturally Fresh factory ( which he last visited when he was 16) where his dad used to have an office and discovered that no one liked him or even knew who he was.
This episode really shed a bad light on Hooters’ management.Unlike in last week’s episode where Waste Management, Inc’s Larry O’Donnell did an admirable at disciplining his workers ,Cody Brooks from Hooters appeared clueless and weak for not disciplining Jimbo for his work ethics.What are your thoughts on the episode?
That’s all we have for now on Undercover Boss Season 1 Episode 2.

my thought on jumbo or jimbo he should have been fired right on the spot. He is degrading the name and the company which as it is has a bad name about the girls anyway. This manager is disgusting. I will not be surprise if you have tons of lawsuits already.

Jumbo Jimbo very funny. I agree he should have been fired for the degrading way he treated his employees. The fact that he wasn’t is further proof that these guys don’t get it – nor would they if they base there whole business model on the exploitation of women and their breasts. Did anyone else notice the “caution bumps” sign on the wall in the boardroom or the fact that the first board meeting was all men and the follow-up at the end of the show had women present. Hummmmm…..maybe someone tipped them off – but still forgot to mention the distastful “caution bumps” sign.

I noticed those signs also and couldn’t believe they were in a corporate Boardroom.
I really liked this show at first (made me a little jealous since my company’s management doesn’t treat people well, could care less about us, and even if they were to do this, would give lip service to changes and never do anything ‘cuz it might cost mone), however, now it seems like a staged formula–one employee will have a major health or personal issue, one will be a single parent, etc etc. How do they find three employees each time that have major stories/issues? Also, some of the production tasks they give the person to do you wouldn’t expect them to master in the matter of a few minutes or hours, etc.
I know this is TV and they’re trying to make it interesting, it just seems to be getting too much of a formula after only 4 episodes…..
We’ll see how it progresses….
