Topic: Peavey on Undercover Boss

Lots whirling about this... if you haven't see this TV show, you can watch the episode here.
I haven't seen it yet, but will watch it to see if the "backlash" is legitimate.

Re: Peavey on Undercover Boss

I won't be jumping on my high horse after watching this.
OK, having watched the whole thing... it's not affecting my opinion of Peavey. They're trying to stay in business.
I've worked for two companies that either consolidated or relocated and it's foolish to think that every place of employment does NOT have employees that are likable and have unique life stories. It's common that the top 2 people in the company are not in the plant when it tells its employees it's closing down. It's a bummer, and it's a shame, but at the same time it happens every day - so Peavey isn't such a villain. They're a corporation. How much Marshall stuff is made in UK? Celestion?

Re: Peavey on Undercover Boss

I understand all the corporate "necessities" & bs, but that whole show (I NEVER watched it before and happened to see gear in surfing the channel) was scripted by Peavey to move their agenda (whatever it truly is) along. 

Read between the lines!  It was ALL contrived!  Remember, any publicity, including bad publicity, is still that-PUBLICITY.  That was the intent.  I'd be not at all surprised that they are looking to be acquired or they are finally pulling the plug completely.  New product designers and outsource experts may be the only way to stay afloat as well as the only remaining US of A employees-if any survive the next round of cuts.


Rock ON & Keep the faith,

Re: Peavey on Undercover Boss

I'll have to watch this later. but..
I have seen Under Cover Boss USA and There is even one in Canada.

The show sucks, as a show
and how stupid are people if they're told: someone they've "never seen before" is going to be hanging around the for a day or two with azz loads worth of camera equipment filming every thing they do.

Re: Peavey on Undercover Boss

Same here, couldn't play the video. But I found a youtube link that actually works for European viewers (surprisingly!).
