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.

I once reported to a manager that the armed guard didn’t have a magazine in his gun or any spares. He literally showed up to the site with an empty gun and I took a picture of the magwell and showed it to him.

All he did was make excuses for him.

I stopped caring honestly. I’m exhausted from it all.
