The format features a high-ranking executive of a company (often the founder or the CEO, though on two occasions the mayor of a city, and once the president of a public university) working as a low-level employee under an alias (disguising himself/herself using various forms) and a fictional backstory (which has changed over time). Generally the executive works three different jobs over a one-week period, most often in different locations, getting to know the person supervising him/her that day, both professionally and personally. | The format features a high-ranking executive of a company (often the founder or the CEO, though on two occasions the mayor of a city, and once the president of a public university) working as a low-level employee under an alias (disguising himself/herself using various forms) and a fictional backstory (which has changed over time).
