- Abstract
The article presents a critique of the U.S. reality television program "Undercover Boss," hosted by the CBS broadcasting network, focusing on its depiction and engagement with the concepts of corporate personhood, labor relations and affective management. Topics addressed include ways the show depicts the conflated identities of the corporate culture and the executives of companies, different ways the show depicts workers' biographies, and the theme of employees managing the boss.
