DON’T SHOW WHO’S BOSS

# I recently watched a Channel 4 programme called Undercover Boss.

It’s a good idea for company chiefs to go undercover to see how their employees work and to speak to them so they can understand something of their private lives and even help where necessary.

They should realise it’s the employees who keep their companies going and that they deserve some recognition. Mel Ingleton Coulsdon, Surrey

Sorry but this is just a matter of supply and demand. Gordon Pilkington Epsom, Surrey
