Does anyone else besides me watch this? It looks like a new episode runs tonight...at least as far as I can tell.
My favorite so far has been the computer system that automatically opened doors, turned on the water fountain, etc. when it sensed a person approaching. Only problem was the system couldn't detect Black people. So doing what it thought was the "PC thing", the company hired White people to accompany the Black people to trigger the computer. This then created a discriminatory hiring practice since they only hired Whites for that particular job. Management finally convinced the Board to pull the computer system when they showed a graph of the total estimated employees and drolly pointed out that they didn't have enough parking to accommodate them all.
