As a small business owner, seeing this mans love for his job brings tears to my eyes. It is so hard to find dedication and drive like this. He will definitely be CEO one day with that work ethic.
Its great to have people who truely love the job! This man loves theme parks so this is his passion. I do have to say, not all jobs are really a passion. I work IT and I like it and all, but its still demanding on me mentally and I wouldnt call it my dream job. It pays the bills and its not physically demanding. But I do believe I have a good wrok ethic and am a valued employee. I have been working at this place for about 4 years, and many people have been hired and sacked. Yet I have never had to fear that. Even when we had to downscale. You make your own value. Be worth employing I believe.
It’s a seems that he was blessed with a good temperament that allowed him to recognize his passion. Clearly he’s inspired by the place and has a passion about it and that is what drives him. Work ethic is not what drives people people you can drive them with a whip and a stick just like a mule skinner might. But you cannot work ethic people into this type of inspiration or passion. It comes from within. If he were in another situation, if he were washing dishes, somewhere in some dank kitchen, and being treated poorly, I can guarantee you he would not have the same passion for his job. It’s clear that the owner of this company is good hearted, and that trickles down. So does a sense of entitlement to workers who give their offer very little. And those are the places that have a lot of turnover, and those are the places that sour people and make them want to open their own business where they can feel good about their day and where they will treat their employees better than they were treated. This owner is so smart as well because he is going to have somebody. He knows he can depend on as he gets older that he can start handing things off to. Mutual dignity and respect goes along way.
Well he is only a sales manager now and never advanced hardly at all after working at that park for 12 years. So in short, corporate politics destroys dreams again
I cried like a baby. It’s refreshing to see a young man with a real work ethic and drive to contribute. I respect this CEO for recognizing this and helping him and others achieve their dreams.
"It’s refreshing to see a young man with a real work ethic and drive to contribute." What world are you living it? Go and touch grass, this isn't uncommon at all.
@@PathFind13 Because more and more people are getting all up in their nostalgia goggles and claiming things like "people don't do X anymore" or "people aren't Y anymore". Implying that the past was somehow so much better than the present we take for granted.
@@Jesus_Christ_is_Lord_ Look at comment by Roger BeAR. Ask him what it means not to have have/get his physical father's blessing. I have seen first hand from adults and kids alike what it is never to have been on the end of a father saying "well done son". The damage that does to the individual. I am a Christian and as a lay preacher have given a sermon where I spoke about the effect of not ever having the father's blessing, their physical father. Sure God is our ultimate Father and He does give His blessing, but do not underestimate the damage it does when not received in the Earthly sense. If you are Bobby Ross, then I have read many of your articles in the Chronicle, which I subscribe too. I am a member in Australia.
I threw myself into my work, and got nothing but criticism from people who didn't even understand what I did and why its important. It honestly threw me into depression and I eventually quit because it was either that or killing myself, like that's how bad the job was. They attempted to hire someone in company to do my job, but they all declined to do it even with significant raises because they saw how they treated me in that job. They had to hire 3 outside hires to replace me. So this video makes me cry that a work environment could be like that and being rewarded for passion.
@@Godtickles work is never worth more than your life, always remember that. I hope you find peace & satisfaction somewhere you can truly be appreciated 💪
Awww 🥰 I love to see when people help kids like these. Thanks to this man for helping this kids. He’s a hard worker, very positive and polite. Being a single mum bring up two kids, sending them to university. I can tell you it’s not easy financially. Big break for this young man. Blessings! ❤️
HE KNEW WHO THE BOSS WAS THE ENTIRE TIME his face turned beat red when he mentioned the CEO name... giving away the fact that he knew who he was the entire time
yeah thats true, but also the boss just happened to be put with him on the job, meaning he was always that person before hand and people thought he deserved to be rewarded,
YEP. I have only seen three or four of these but they seem to be about 75% fake 25% real events and interactions. That's not really a bad thing. It's Reality TV afterall. VERY FEW shows are real. Dats the biz.... Forgot to ad the "feel goods" are usually real and that CEO is DA MAN! Good chance he is talking to his successor. LOL
I used to go to church with this kid during high school years. He was always funny and super nice. This is the real him from what I remember, but I always thought he 100% knew what was going on here!
Sometimes in life people who work hard deserve a break, all to often it doesn’t happen but it’s nice to see when it does. I’m really happy for this young man, his potential seems limitless.
I would argue the opposite. This guy's dad was my woodshop teacher in high school and had the exact same passion and heart. 15 years later, I still hold him as one of my greatest mentors.
Yeah, this is nice and wholesome and all but that kid knew something was up. Either the show is staged af or he figured out pretty quickly he was on undercover boss. Maybe the cameras gave it away.
This one made me cry. This young man is so deserving of all he wants in life! He’s not only a genuinely good person and hard worker, but the love he has for his parents sent me over the top. Great things start with Great parents. He has the utmost respect for them- we need more young men like this! GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR PARENTS! MAY ALL YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE!
Awe ... This young man got the much needed blessing and it's well-deserved. I hope the CEO continues to help him after he's done with school by mentoring him.
u can tell he deserves it every single second of this video... u can tell he will do the best out of any chance he is giving.. i respect such people alot .. humble honest ppl who try their best.
Silver Dollar City! I recognize the second I seen the thumbnail. Best memories growing up as a child. Just wow! To this day I haven't been to or heard of a theme park anywhere near as close to a fun, family friendly, and HUGE place.
The great irony is that Joel Manby then went on to become the CEO of SeaWorld for a few years, run it into the ground, have several rounds of layoffs then leave with $21 million in stock options. Thanks Joel!
Thats the type of work ethic every company needs- the fact he knows his current ceo, bosses, and im assuming other management and staff- been there working for 6 years, and his dedication to go to work and be cheerful and happy while maintaining a level of love to his job is just astounding. He deserves everything going his way
This has been the best one I've seen yet.. I like how he set him up to be successful and providing schooling to become what he dreams of being. This is better than giving someone a lump sum that doesn't know how to manage money then be stuck in a bigger pickle because they withdrew way to much then ends up having to file for bankruptcy.
That's awesome. That kid worked hard to try to make something of himself and I'm glad he gets to focus on school. It brought a tear to my eye to see the emotions running through him from the good news.
What a terrific guy AND what an AMAZING Boss! The world needs MORE people like you two guys and what a great place we would all be in. I wish you well in your career. Paul 🇬🇧🇬🇧
Yeah, it's a sad truth that every show on television is staged, scripted and edited in some way to get the outcome they want. Those did look like genuine emotions at the end so I'm also going to assume this is mostly true as well.

Dang I'm in a restaurant just finishing work and thisbguy got me tearing up at the table. I love seeing hard working people get the opportunity they deserve. Thumbs up!!
Thumbs up to the parents for raising an awesome person strong worth ethics strong compassion We need more people like that in the world. And then for the CEO of that company like everyone's saying thank you for helping that young man and many more like him.
I think this kid knew who the man was. Someone with so much knowledge about his job, which he loves, surely would be able to recognize his boss. Say what you want but I have no doubt.
When he said “we need more like you” I thought wow! Imagine if you could find guys like this in any business. People with passion and a strong work ethic. It’s what’s lacking in our country right now.
Chicken and the egg scenario. Could be the result that so many employers over the years have given zero fucks for their employees. Unions formed for a reason
@@al73r hard to say, think social media has something to do with it as well, because seeing these influencers, streamers, etc having so much by doing so little sets something off in a lot of people.
Can tell you've never worked for cooperate. You think companies give 2 fucks about you as an employee? You're replaceable. Expendable. 8 hours later they've replaced you.
The reason there are UA-camrs and influencers is directly related to the poor treatment. People are getting and lack of dignity and respect at most jobs. This young man was motivated by love of his family, at a sense of duty towards them, and a love for that particular place and a passion for that type of industry. It was a confluence of things. Human beings need a sense of purpose, and they also require dignity and respect. To say that people these days don’t wanna work is total BS. People want to live. They don’t wanna live to work then just be discarded when the bottom line for shareholders isn’t being met. Then you toss out the BS work ethic line. That’s just the carrot and stick. When you take somebody who has a good attitude and is excited about going to a job and then finds out within days or weeks that all of the excitement and enthusiasm has now been dampened by poor treatment and disrespect. This is what you get employees that don’t wanna come back.
This young Man doesn't mind to work, He has what it takes to go to the top. His mind is so amazing, how to improve the park. HE DESERVES THE VERY BEST FOR ALL HIS EFFORT.
Wow what a great kid and a well deserved scholarship! It’s incredibly difficult to go to school full time and work full time so I know exactly how much it means to him!
This made me tear up too. I work a lot and get so little but when you have children you do what you must, sometimes without realizing how much it weighs on you until these rare moments. Hope this young man makes CEO.
Go get 'em, man! I hope he takes on every challenge that comes his way with that excellent attitude, and to the CEO, what a wonderful thing to be able to do something like that for someone. I hope the best for both of these wonderful gentlemen. It is a remarkable and yet not necessarily unusual thing when people who have opportunities and people who are looking for opportunities mingle together, and I hope that more and more, we all find more opportunities to do just that, wherever we're at in the journey. I've been blessed to have been able to meet some of the people who are excelling in the career path I want to get into, and what an incredible boost in confidence and morale, and in sense of direction and possibility it is to be surrounded by the people who are doing what you want to do. Thanks for sharing this story!
When he started crying and putting his fingers into his eyes like he was going to poke them out I felt like I wanted to tell him that Jesus LOVES you. I want to make people like him that happy.
I cannot even tell you how many times I have watched this video… And every time I have seen it, I just lost it!… This kid is so appreciative of everything his boss is doing… I would do the same… He seems like a hard worker trying to get ahead in life… Congratulations bro… You deserve it!… Alex in Vermont
That’s really kind but also a potentially great investment for the CEO. The guy already designed rides without being in designschool, he can create value.
Thats a game that came out in the year 2000 called rollercoaster tycoon i played it a lot as a kid. its far different then actually building and designing real roller coaster.
When you have an idea that you want to put down and you don't have a $10,000 PC rig, let alone the training or time to do the CAD work, you as an engineer make do.
This guys parents are both teachers at the high-school I went to. His mom was my English teacher and his dad was my woodshop teacher… let me tell you that they were both some of the nicest people in that entire place and they showed us this video way back in the day…. So funny to see it come up on my recommended. Awesome peeps.
You see I like these types of gifts not just giving a lump sum of “fuck you” cash, but put a plan in place to help change the working conditions of the employees lives, either by setting a scholarship fund, or some kind of new management change that allows for a better quality of life.
It is SO rare to find an employee who has a passion for their job like this. What a great boss, but most importantly a great leader knows when he see's another great leader. I'm not crying
This got me so emotional...like him I have always lived hand to mouth and we are facing many of the same issues. My son is very intelligent and wants to go to college but has to work as well. It's hard but worth it.
CEO knows this kid is the future of his company! When you have employees like that you have to ensure you do everything you can to make them a lifer, and promise growth within the company.
My thoughts exactly.. nobody randomly starts showing design plans for new rides an explaining he wants to run the place etc to a nobody whos on a trial that might never even come back for a second day... but oh well it worked out how they both wanted lol
@Martyn channel I worked at a bar that was on bar rescue, I can confirm, something that can't be staged (like actual health code violations) is real. The drama though? All staged
I never cry and I cried when he offered him the scholarship. I know I would have the same reaction. You can tell he has such a genuine soul both of them ❤
I don't view many undercover boss videos. This one caught my eye. As they say it is who you know rather than what you know that opens the doors. Knowing is very important but if the ones who can help you are not aware of you, then it is a steep climb. This video is truly inspiring.
I mean anytime a guy comes on and says he has a camera crew just hanging around for a documentary, you would have to be stupid not to think it could be an undercover boss. Just on the chance it was, you would act completely on your game and you would blow steam up the companys ass and plead your hardship case, so they would know what to give you.
He knows the CEO so we'll, of course he would spot him.... Also, the film crew following him around? That just screams "this is the undercover boss show"
I worked for this same company. I worked on the boat not the park. After you are hired there are classes you take on the history of the company, you are given a book written about the founders and current people in charge and are expected to know this information. It’s a fantastic company. So, yes he should have known without hesitation who the current CEO is otherwise he’s not doing his job properly! The Herschend family are a fantastic group of people to work for. Maybe you should look them up. Too many people just assume things these days! 🤦🏼♀️
So freaking beautiful. Seriously brought tears to my eyes and these shows never make me cry. You can just see the genuine appreciation in his reaction and in his face
What’s really important here is that the boss listened and values employees. Employees are not merely cogs in the machinery that are replaced if they break at some point. The boss values the passion this fellow exhibited and recognizes he is definitely worth investing in to make the future of the company better. That’s called leadership, compassion with a humanistic approach in dealing with people ( employees). Not only should the employee rewarded, so should the boss because he acknowledged company short comings, began fixing them immediately, and rewarded a good employee.
2:00 - yeah, "he's an awesome guy." As if he doesn't know he's the CEO and is totally baiting him for hand outs. Could have played it a little more low key.
Honestly this feels good. Like it's not giving him free money just opportunity to lend a hand here and there, not stopping him from his passion and just a nudge to go further.
It isn't scripted.. Employees are literally told a new employee would be joining them for a documentary (hence the camera crew) .. They aren't told its for Undercover Boss til they are brought in to the boss' office..
I always come up with the same conclusion when it comes to any episode of undercover boss: pay your god damned employees better so that they don't break down in tears when you throw your chump change at them.
Thumps up to the owner for rewarding his employee this way!!!! Companies need more people like both of them!
Its too bad leftist policies kills these kinds of dreams and corporations more selfish.
It's usually bad for men to cry. It creates bad mental habits, but this dude earned it. That's sht wasn't for the cameras

@@jasonh6464 A real social government wouldn't have pushed him into the hole he was in in the first place.

This young Man doesn't mind to work, He has what it takes to go to the top. His mind is so amazing, how to improve the park. HE DESERVES THE VERY BEST FOR ALL HIS EFFORT.
That’s the kind of person who deserves the reward. So proud to see young people with a good work ethic!
Almost made me cry too. That guy earned his opportunity through and through.... Wish more bosses were thinking like that
Wow what a great kid and a well deserved scholarship! It’s incredibly difficult to go to school full time and work full time so I know exactly how much it means to him!
This made me tear up too. I work a lot and get so little but when you have children you do what you must, sometimes without realizing how much it weighs on you until these rare moments. Hope this young man makes CEO.
Go get 'em, man! I hope he takes on every challenge that comes his way with that excellent attitude, and to the CEO, what a wonderful thing to be able to do something like that for someone. I hope the best for both of these wonderful gentlemen.
It is a remarkable and yet not necessarily unusual thing when people who have opportunities and people who are looking for opportunities mingle together, and I hope that more and more, we all find more opportunities to do just that, wherever we're at in the journey. I've been blessed to have been able to meet some of the people who are excelling in the career path I want to get into, and what an incredible boost in confidence and morale, and in sense of direction and possibility it is to be surrounded by the people who are doing what you want to do.
Thanks for sharing this story!
When he started crying and putting his fingers into his eyes like he was going to poke them out I felt like I wanted to tell him that Jesus LOVES you. I want to make people like him that happy.
I cannot even tell you how many times I have watched this video… And every time I have seen it, I just lost it!… This kid is so appreciative of everything his boss is doing… I would do the same… He seems like a hard worker trying to get ahead in life… Congratulations bro… You deserve it!… Alex in Vermont
Hey totally appreciate the thumbs up…! :-) :-)
It’s fake and your gullible. Do better
OMG !!! How generous this Boss , Thank You !!!!
To be honest, he made us all proud! Let alone his dad! They both are great
That’s really kind but also a potentially great investment for the CEO.
The guy already designed rides without being in designschool, he can create value.
Thats a game that came out in the year 2000 called rollercoaster tycoon i played it a lot as a kid. its far different then actually building and designing real roller coaster.
Hard work can pay off and this boss stepped up and did the right thing. WAY TO GO GENTLEMEN!
Man I cried a little too. What an amazing story that young man has. God bless everyone's day.
Playing Roller Coaster Tycoon??? Now thats a man of culture
When you have an idea that you want to put down and you don't have a $10,000 PC rig, let alone the training or time to do the CAD work, you as an engineer make do.
fair play to this fella, hard working, knows the business and wants to advance his career, i salute that.
We need more ppl like him! These ppl need to be rewarded for their work ethic and their commitment!!!!
Brought Tears to my eyes. This is the Employee that every Company needs. Great young Man.
Hello Tina
Can't wait to own my very own business and be there for my employees. This give me the motivation mindset, wonderful Boss. Wish you the best.
This young man shows you that making good choices and working hard and with integrity gets you places.
He knew the assignment and laid it on thick in the break room 😂
This guys parents are both teachers at the high-school I went to. His mom was my English teacher and his dad was my woodshop teacher… let me tell you that they were both some of the nicest people in that entire place and they showed us this video way back in the day…. So funny to see it come up on my recommended. Awesome peeps.
It is a shame you don't find more CEOs like this.
You see I like these types of gifts not just giving a lump sum of “fuck you” cash, but put a plan in place to help change the working conditions of the employees lives, either by setting a scholarship fund, or some kind of new management change that allows for a better quality of life.
So happy to see a boss who cares about his employees what a great place to work at godbless
It is SO rare to find an employee who has a passion for their job like this. What a great boss, but most importantly a great leader knows when he see's another great leader.
I'm not crying
More people would get a eduction if the system was set up to where you didn’t have to work so
Much to live
This got me so emotional...like him I have always lived hand to mouth and we are facing many of the same issues. My son is very intelligent and wants to go to college but has to work as well. It's hard but worth it.
Man that was really nice… let’s hope this boss actually lives up to his promise; unfortunately not many do
The last part when he got choked up thinking about how proud his dad will be when he tells him…that got me. He deserves it
When you come from barely having anything you truly appreciate things
CEO knows this kid is the future of his company! When you have employees like that you have to ensure you do everything you can to make them a lifer, and promise growth within the company.
The whole WORLD could use more 20 year olds like that!
This is soo awesome! Thanks Albert for inspiring the program that they still currently have and is flourishing and changing lives.
I think dude knew he was the boss.
Maybe! But it's a happy outcome :)
My thoughts exactly.. nobody randomly starts showing design plans for new rides an explaining he wants to run the place etc to a nobody whos on a trial that might never even come back for a second day... but oh well it worked out how they both wanted lol
@@RoniTosun its all soppy bull and all staged and nons of it worth watching
@Martyn channel I worked at a bar that was on bar rescue, I can confirm, something that can't be staged (like actual health code violations) is real. The drama though? All staged
It’s a tv show people. There is a script!
I never cry and I cried when he offered him the scholarship. I know I would have the same reaction. You can tell he has such a genuine soul both of them ❤
This made my day. Protect Albert at all cost ❤️
I don't view many undercover boss videos. This one caught my eye. As they say it is who you know rather than what you know that opens the doors. Knowing is very important but if the ones who can help you are not aware of you, then it is a steep climb. This video is truly inspiring.
The CEO is like " BUT IM CEO MAN THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE OF ME " lmfao
Employees who are excited about their job and company are a precious resource.
Lmao theres no way in hell this dude didnt know he was on undercover boss..its so obvious just by how he was talking to the “new guy”
Makin’ lemonade if you ask me
loved this show, I wish more CEO's and just leadership in general were like this to their own employees
This comment got way more likes than it should have.
Seems awfully suspicious
I mean anytime a guy comes on and says he has a camera crew just hanging around for a documentary, you would have to be stupid not to think it could be an undercover boss. Just on the chance it was, you would act completely on your game and you would blow steam up the companys ass and plead your hardship case, so they would know what to give you.
He knows the CEO so we'll, of course he would spot him.... Also, the film crew following him around? That just screams "this is the undercover boss show"
I worked for this same company. I worked on the boat not the park. After you are hired there are classes you take on the history of the company, you are given a book written about the founders and current people in charge and are expected to know this information. It’s a fantastic company. So, yes he should have known without hesitation who the current CEO is otherwise he’s not doing his job properly! The Herschend family are a fantastic group of people to work for. Maybe you should look them up.
Too many people just assume things these days! 🤦🏼♀️
@@tammieneeley7848 Yeah exactly, thats why he would have known it was an undercover boss show.
This CEO has a GREAT heart and it shows
Not going to lie, he invoked emotions in me..
This guy deserved it 100%, great to see the CEO being so giving as well.
THIS IS AN EMPLOYEE TO KEEP ! !
Bro the tears hurt. You could tell the compassion, and that this was real not some scripted junk. I wish the absolute best on his endeavors
Right on bud!! Congrats. Great story. Well deserved.
He 100 percent knows he’s talking to the CEO.
We need more good boys like him in the world!!
We need more people like this. All CEO'S should do this. It will only help the communities they are in. Great job by the parents. Wow.
So freaking beautiful. Seriously brought tears to my eyes and these shows never make me cry. You can just see the genuine appreciation in his reaction and in his face
This kid has leadership ❤
What’s really important here is that the boss listened and values employees. Employees are not merely cogs in the machinery that are replaced if they break at some point. The boss values the passion this fellow exhibited and recognizes he is definitely worth investing in to make the future of the company better. That’s called leadership, compassion with a humanistic approach in dealing with people ( employees). Not only should the employee rewarded, so should the boss because he acknowledged company short comings, began fixing them immediately, and rewarded a good employee.
2:00 - yeah, "he's an awesome guy." As if he doesn't know he's the CEO and is totally baiting him for hand outs. Could have played it a little more low key.
Honestly this feels good. Like it's not giving him free money just opportunity to lend a hand here and there, not stopping him from his passion and just a nudge to go further.
You got this Mr. CEO. 👊🏼
Ok I’m crying like a baby because he says they are less fortunate an he is working instead of stealing or on drugs I pray he gets a lot of blessings
DAMN THIS GAVE ME CHILLS TO MY SPINE.. NOT SURE IF THIS WAS SCRIPTED, BUT I FELT HIS TEARS.....WOW.. THIS IS WHAT YOU CALL TOUCHING.
It isn't scripted.. Employees are literally told a new employee would be joining them for a documentary (hence the camera crew) .. They aren't told its for Undercover Boss til they are brought in to the boss' office..
I always die laughing that people don't realize that there's a guy with a camera following everyone around! 😂
I always come up with the same conclusion when it comes to any episode of undercover boss: pay your god damned employees better so that they don't break down in tears when you throw your chump change at them.
Yes, the owner should only make a pittance salary and everybody paid equally to enjoy a luxurious life
Thank you for giving this young man his dream of a life time Outstanding CEO OF THIS COMPANY AND HE WAS SURE HIMSELF WITHOUT KNOWING WHO YOU WERE
Great to see passion and hard work pay off
