Undercover Boss , CBS , CEO of Churchill Downs

French words, depending where you are, are bastardized oft times.

My personal fave are some surnames like harness driver Mike Lachance. His name is la-shance, but on TV anywhere south of Quebec it is La- Chance, like having a chance to win. I also met a fella last-named "Benoit" from the south once and called him by his French name until he corrected me.

If Ballet's were not popular in France and some English country took over the word, I would bet we would be calling it like the COO of Churchill and the boys do.

Then again, I am not one for the ballet, so who cares.

we are talking about how to say a job, how about CEO VS COO

what's the difference?

Simply put, the CEO ( Chief Executive Officer ) is the captain of the ship. He's the manager of all the other managers. Hiring them is his responsibility.

The COO ( Chief Operating Officer ) is responsible for managing the day to day operations of a company. In other words, he's the suit that's the head bean counter.

I just watched this show with the Churchill Downs prez

On demand on my new cable was nice.

This show was a joke. Clichéd crap. Just like the other episodes I have seen. He finds a couple of people to hang out with for a few days and they get rewarded for being on TV. The Waste Management guy was OK on his episode, but the producers are obviously selling "heart warming stories" about employees and nothing else. This Churchill guy is a friggin Lawyer who didn't even know how the trainers get paid? Right............?

If he mentioned spreadsheets and Power point presentations one more time I was going to jump out a window. The bullshit meeting with the board acting all concerned about him was stupid and childish.

Funny how they always seem to find some employee with a missing kidney or a daughter who just died to pair him with. It's crap..........and more Crap !!!

Watch the White Castle episode and how they dance around the fact that the BOSS + another worker featured during the show has had some serious weight/health issues...

Not a good advertisement for White Castle, but then again, nobody goes there because it's healthy...
