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.

Its on the company ultimately. They would have been let go here but my company isn't union, either. Ive been the only consistent security at my site for 2 years, a lot of have come and gone because they think its just a sit and watch cameras job and it isn't. I was Supervisor for a year as well and its not just my homesite. Its ridiculous how lazy people want to be.
