Wow, Okay. For one thing, Larry was a wonderful guy, BEFORE he went on the show, and I'm sure that the revelations he found by working for every facet of the company, from vacuuming out port-a-potties, to riding the trucks will truly make a difference in the decisions that he makes as the boss. I'm sure he didn't do this to feel "special" as you put it. He already does feel special - he has a loving family, a wonderful circle of friends, and a supportive community.
So, while I agree that the people's lives that he touched
directly will benefit, I believe that
ALL the employees will benefit from his experience.
I'm surprised that you think that a caring boss who truly sees what it's like in the trenches - not on some tour where everyone is on their best behavior, but incognito, where he is just another worker, will not come away changed, and in turn, change the way they treat their employees. But then, I'm an optimist, not a cynic.
It also helps that I know and am friends with Larry, and know what kind of man he is, so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, and believe that he will be a better boss and person because of this experience.
