The difference between the way they talk to the CEO and the way they talk to the camera at the end really shows how comfortable they were with him as a person and the connection these people made. I absolutely loved the vibe!
Let's just hope its not wasted tears, how many of these boss's end up doing this just for publicity, without the tv show nearby they could be drastically different towards their "peons".
Agreed. I believe in the American dream. I'm not even at my peak , but I'm doing pretty well. The sky is the limit. All we have to do, is literally go and get it!.
The problem is bosses don't know shit and assume we're out here twiddling thumbs right up until you hand that punk the controls. Don't get me wrong a lot of owners did the work as well but there's guys like this out here who have it handed to them by daddy and he needs a real rude awakening to provide a suitable workplace. I'm happy about his turn around in this episode. We deserve more respect. Telecom, gas, power, water. We're the hero's that keep the real heros in touch.......I may even say front line/essential.
I worked with these two. What happened not soon after wasn't great. They were fired. Now Mastec was good to me. I stayed a few years more. Then had to retire because I couldn't do the work no more, 2011. Not soon after this they lost Centurylink contract (in 2010). This was filmed between 2005 and 2009. They got fired not to long after this was aired.
It always shocks me when these companies send CEO’s out into the company, they see how hard their employees are working and really give so little to help. This guy could have given these employees $100k each and never blinked an eye. I have see very CEO’s on undercover boss do that through the years. God bless the ones that really help
Very bad idea plugging that elbow in like that joking around without gloves or a shotgun, someone at my work died not to long ago while building an elbow he plugged it in the transformer not realizing a massive generator that was feeding a condo complex during an outage back fed that transformer killing him.
If I was an undercover boss I'd go out and party with my employees and then fire them all after I got drunk. But then I would hire them back the next day because I am a good guy.
I used to work in underground utilities. I actually replaced the primary electric lines that run from transformer to transformer to power neighborhoods. Live or not, there was so much necessary safety equipment they were all missing to be working on/in an open transformer it's scary. At any moment there could be a backfeed that could've turned them all into people jerky..
I do ihss I take care of my mother so no ceo to come in and make my life better we are at or below poverty levels I just wish I can get a car so I can find the second job and be able to keep it
This is yeats ago. This happens in the Ft. Myers/Naples area around 2005. I worked for Mastac NA and knew these brothers. Not soon after they were fired. I worked for the phone part of the company and they worked for the electric side of the company. We did work for Centurylink and Florida Power (which change name to Duke). They lost the main contract with Century link in 2010. Most people was laid off. I moved to Sanford, Florida to work for Mastac, there. I remembered when this first aired. How they don't say all. What happens afterwards. Not soon after they were fired.
@@GoodEveningWeAreBLAST yes, what I was told they did something that was according to safety protocol. Mastec was about safety first. Working around electric, cable tv, and phone lines, it was about safety. I drove cable trucks with heavy equipment. We would inspect our trucks in the morning then go through another inspection, before we left the yard. Then, the same, in the evening, before we get off of work. Safety man would come by our job and inspect our job site and truck, about twice a month. Make sure we had signs and cones out right. Our equipment had to be clean of dirt or trash. Or we would have 3 days off, without pay. I worked one time until 3 am and left my truck and backhoe at the wash area. So, I could go home and get a shower and sleep and be back by 7 am. Then, wash it and leave to go out again. The safety man came around 6 am, from Tampa. Saw my backhoe was dirty, set there. I came in and had to wash it and then had 3 days off without pay. He didn't want to hear that I worked all day before, then worked most of the night, working on cut telephone cable. What we were told they did something around electric lines, that wasn't safe. Believe it had to do with wearing electrical gloves around power box. Which is a big no no. We already had one guy got electrocuted and was disabled the rest of his life and another that died, within two months. Thing is, they do for a few, but the rest they don't do for. One thing about this program, they do for people on the show, but never for the rest of the workers. That was the owner and I never seen him. The whole time, when they bought Burnup&Sims (which we worked for) until I left. These two brothers wasn't with the company very long. I wouldn't work in the electric division of the company. I stayed in the phone line division. People wasn't trained at first. I wasn't trained. I would run pipe up to the electric box and stop. I would not touch it. I wasn't trained enough. Many of us wasn't.
SO DO YOU THINK THEY WERE FIRED, BECAUSE OWNER DIDN'T WANT TO HOLD UP HIS PROMISE TO THEM. AFTER THE SHOW ENDED. HOW SOON AFTER SHOW, THAT THEY WERE FIRED ? CAPS BAD EYESIGHT
Benda. I believe they was fired not to long after. I left in 2010, to Sanford, Florida to work for them there. I believe it was within six months, if not sooner. I know I didn't like it and many of other didn't like, neither. They was good people. Fun to be around. We would joke around with each other. Me being a preacher, they gave me a lots of respect. In that company's yard, it was a very great place to work. We knew each other. Even the local bosses. I believe Mr. Mas. came one day in a helicopter, landed at a company near by. He addressed us in one of our Tuesday morning safety meeting. That was the only time we seen him. We did here that Mr Mas or his father was supposed to be leader of Cuba. They lived in Miami.
Bcos that's what he chose! These brothers are Hispanic, so he's setting up a tradition to keep helping other hispanic kids who otherwise wouldn't have the chance. There's lots of help out there for everyone else too
The rest of us that worked with them and been there longer, got nothing. I worked with these two and they deserved it. The rest of us got nothing. Yet, they got fired not soon after.
Agreed, I'm not hating on the gesture and the benevolent act. It may help someone's life which is good. It is however racist (bigoted as Hispanic is not a race technically)to exclude people solely by race clarification. To illustrate , if a pale boss had said to 2 pale employees. "I'm giving you 25k to give to any white kid" that would scream racism in most everyone's world. What's the difference? Are Hispanics viewed so poorly by some that this doesn't even cross their minds to be racist by excluding others based on race?
@@masterq2.033 you overlook the fact that we, as white ppl have a leg up in every area of life, just by the fact of being born white! He's helping these kids because they remind him of his family's imigrant story! So he wants to keep that going. There are plenty more scholarships for white ppl trust me
Yes. They were fired not long after this. The yard manager had talked to me, about me being on the program. He was pushing me to be on the show. I real didn't want to be on it. I've already been in the local news and papers, doing my job. I didn't want the national tv. Plus, I was doing radio broadcasting at night and week ends, for a local radio.
Those 2 brothers have personality,
Yes, they were fun to worked with them. To me they were done wrong.
The difference between the way they talk to the CEO and the way they talk to the camera at the end really shows how comfortable they were with him as a person and the connection these people made.
I absolutely loved the vibe!
This channel regularly brings a tear 😢 to my eyes.
Let's just hope its not wasted tears, how many of these boss's end up doing this just for publicity, without the tv show nearby they could be drastically different towards their "peons".
I work as a community nurse in a predominantly Dominican community....They're wonderful people!!!!!
So proud of these guys. Hard working good people. Good examples for our spoiled kids.....
Those brothers are adorable
You are an example for companies who don’t know how to advance their employees it builds confidence & better worker
These guys are what American dreams are made of
Agreed. I believe in the American dream.
I'm not even at my peak , but I'm doing pretty well. The sky is the limit.
All we have to do, is literally go and get it!.
Praying for these dudes and all the OT they are going to be getting in Fort Meyers soon
They seem like really nice guys
Those 2 dudes will make you a lot of money man ! I’d be putting them in superintendent positions 👌🔥
Absolutely beautiful.
Jose is an awesome human being!
The problem is bosses don't know shit and assume we're out here twiddling thumbs right up until you hand that punk the controls.

Work in corporate of a power delivery company and have nothing but love and respect for you guys. You are why we make money.
Mastic is a great company I know because I work there and there are a lot of great people there I know that for a fact
I worked with these two. What happened not soon after wasn't great. They were fired.

Yeah, just fuck with their employment history on a whim because your "a good guy." There's a reason you will never be boss of anyone.
@@smolpener7430 There's a reason no one invites you to parties.
😂😂😂
Great !
I used to work in underground utilities. I actually replaced the primary electric lines that run from transformer to transformer to power neighborhoods. Live or not, there was so much necessary safety equipment they were all missing to be working on/in an open transformer it's scary.

Both end of the cables that was being terminated where floating on a pad with no transformer; isolated from any potential source.
Congratulations !
👌 awesome.
Good show
Very cool. Very.
NEVER FORGET....Almost half of this country doesn't want these two here. VOTE TO SAVE AMERICA! VOTE BLUE STRAIGHT THROUGH THE BALLOT!!!
🙏🏽
If bosses want to do a good deed, there’s no need to have it televised. Best way is anonymously.
Then why you watching the show that's the whole point just saying 🤷
@@rosiesalinas978 i’m watching it just to annoy you
I mean they can but let it be televised and hopefully more bosses see it and get inspired to be better.
@@skylarjaxx2399 fat chance
@Skylar Jaxx inspire them to be generous when everyone is watching

Well here's my question why just Hispanic why not ALL....why not females as well.
Bcos that's what he chose! These brothers are Hispanic, so he's setting up a tradition to keep helping other hispanic kids who otherwise wouldn't have the chance. There's lots of help out there for everyone else too
The rest of us that worked with them and been there longer, got nothing. I worked with these two and they deserved it.

Pretty racist to say the scholarship only goes to an Hispanic kid.

Exactly
@@masterq2.033 Yea, but all white kids are born rich and don't need help.
No it's not! There's plenty of scholarships, grants, etc for everyone in every niche quit bitching about something that is t an issue
