Reports indicate the red-shirted worker above accidently brought a Mack assembly line to a sudden halt on his first day on the line. He was not let go for the error, but did graciously retreat to his office — the one assigned to Denny Slagle, president & CEO of Mack Truck.

The good-humored Slagle appeared as the Undercover Boss recently on the eponymous CBS TV show (original air date: 2/20/11). No doubt it was a learning experience for him.
