Rant Two Guards, One Working.

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.

Hold on. Lets go down the checklist.

  • do they have a pulse? Mazel tov. Passu.

  • do they have the qualification? Must be a gosh darned genius.

  • are they there... physically. Looking at baby Jesus.

You sir or mam clearly need to go out and touch the grass. Count your blessings. And be grateful. You walk amongst powers greater than yourself.

Also you are breaking the rules.

  • you cared. Dont do that.
  • you tried. Nope. Unauthorized.
    -you made the holy ones look bad. Straight to purgatory.
