I fucking love my job and happy I made the switch. Literally getting paid to watch movies and play video games all day/night. This is the only job I’ve had that I look forward to coming to work

I need to vent about the coworkers I share a post with. I work security in a busy government building. Two guards are always posted.

I was trained years ago by Gen X supervisors who were strict and by the book, so I take the job seriously.

These coworkers sleep on the job, talk on their phones in thier language, sit at the desk with no shoes or barefoot, and treat the post like it doesn’t matter. This is a secondary job for them; they have other work elsewhere.

I’ve reported them more than once. Nothing happens. The union protects them.

I’m just sick of this behavior.

A couple of guards have told me it's an incredibly strange event and that some even call off to avoid it. Also, is it true about the orgy rooms?

All,

Months ago there was an incident in which I was involved. There were a few of us who were immediately suspended without pay. The entire incident was reviewed by HR. After their review, which took two months, it was found that I had followed policy and procedure. Basically, I was cleared of any wrongdoing.

The company now expects me to return to my shift. They have not mentioned anything about me being paid for the time lost (no mention of any back pay). To be honest I do not want to return. There was nothing unusual about this incident, but for some reason HR made a huge deal about it. I have lost any trust I had in my management and the company.

Would you return to this job?

Thanks.

Where I work the truck drivers are basically the top caste because getting new ones is so hard. So all truck drivers are allowed to be as rude and shitty towards the guards as they want and will never suffer consequences. Which means if they’re pissed off at you for trying to enforce a rule they can be as mean and nasty as they want and the guard has to chow down on the shot and ask for seconds.

Anyone else have to deal with untouchable douche bags? If so how do you manage.

My company lost the contract to allied and they will be taking over my current site. I don’t mind staying with allied but I feel the pressure to land this salary campus security job tomorrow. I been preparing for this interview and I know us security guards get a bad rep because we have worked with some really bad apples but I’m not one of them I’m actually a great hard working guard that’s a great husband, father, son, brother, etc…. This is an opportunity of a lifetime for me it feels like and I’m just nervous that I’m a bomb this interview any advice?

We build software for deskless teams, so we end up talking to a lot of contract security companies. The one thing that never seems solved is pass-down between shifts.

What we hear most: a paper DAR nobody reads, a WhatsApp group with three supervisors and forty guards where post orders get buried, or the outgoing guard just tells you verbally if he's still there when you show up.

Genuinely curious what works at your site. Do you have a proper pass-down log that gets checked, or is it "read the book if you feel like it"? And who actually reads the DARs — the account manager, the client, or nobody until something goes wrong?

I’m in the process of doing so and would like to ask a few questions, please let me know. Thank you!

Came back to work, from my days off and my power brick is missing. The power wire is still there but the brick is missing. How should I handle this???
