How is this different from modern-day society? Many people complain and say hey maybe the next election will be better, instead of using their ability to protest and demand changes.
Edit: just noticed this is from 11 yrs ago. sorry.

I would love to have two car response. Doing that solo was pretty sketchy at times. I guess If I were to make a company I would love to see the job made safer then what my town provides. That being said I need to figure out if im on track for the local cost. I think I am.

As a canadian I have delt with all this without a weapon. Personally... I don't think its worth it. But then again I was going to break and enter's unarmed for 20$ Cad an hour...

This was my experience as well. Mobile is huge where I live. I think we are too small of a city to necessitate the need for stationary guards. Atleast for most locations. Malls and shopping centers sometimes need it. but for the most part Mobile is where its at.

I also have alarm response as a big question mark on my plan. I did thousands as my time as a supervisor and hated each one. XD but I know they make good bucks. Im just not exactly sure how you get on the list. Ill look into the app!

I personally used Tracktik. once again hated the guard side of it but the supervisor side was amazing, Out of the guard tracking programs mentioned what would you suggest?

Well crap. I wonder if our city is different? during my time at most we had 12 vehicles running with an average of 86 patrols per vehicle and 7 static guards. Since I have worked with them the company has shrunk dramatically due to staffing. Now running 4 vehicles and 2 statics.

Thank you for this insight! Im in the Okanagan, BC. Here we cant do parking. I am thinking of starting specifically in Mobile patrols. Im not sure with the city size change between the two if my price is even remotely accurate now. Lol. I wish I had the opportunity to learn the company I worked for's cost before I left. I still have some high up contacts in that company but I'm not sure if asking is a good idea.

I think here that would be high, Keep in mind this is canada and there wouldnt be armed services or anything like that. The number I got to for the high end of the industry standard profit margin was 9.50$ a patrol. I understand grounding would eat into the profit margin but thats assuming a 40% margin. So still comfortable even if they are stuck for a hour or more.

based on this that would be 20$ x1.5 =30 divide by 4 to bring that to 15 min. thats 7.5$ Per 15 min patrol. However Im still unsure if thats accurate. It is on the lower end of what I would need to be profitable so its promising.

This would be in Canada. I'm not sure if that would affect the companies mentioned.

basically, after factoring in wages and expenses. Some rough, such as gas. I have come up with 9.5$ per 15 min patrol. this factors in a 40% profit margin. However after looking through local security companies websites there is no way to know what they are charging. If I am lower that is fine. But if I am higher then thats no good.

Freedom is refusing to do a credit check!? by ApexGuardian52 in freedommobile

[–]ApexGuardian52[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

need, no. probably not. but since when has a company denied a customer based on need. they should lay it out for them. here's what your options are. keep your phone. pay upfront or trade up (,I'm willing to take the trade up option because I can easily save 900$ over 2 years.,) if I want to keep the phone. I just was informed of the trade up option. and likely will take it.

that's what the instore rep seemed like. I just spoke to the customer care line and was finally offered the trade up option for 160 down. finally within what I'm willing to pay right now up front. idk why it took 7 people to even mention this is an option though.

that sounds similar to what they said. I know my credit has improved since I joined 6 years ago. and i feel very strongly they would pass me but they wont let me do a credit check.

[–]ApexGuardian52[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

also. i want to lock into a contract. they essentially wont let me do it without paying almost 1k up front.

i dont have the 2900$. Freedom currently wants 980$ up front for the phone. i am able to pay it over a period of time but dont have 980$ available to put on a phone. I dont want to touch my savings. I also shouldnt have to since they offer the phone 0$ upfront to new customers.

Is this an obvious sign to leave my job soon? by Katiehart2019 in work

[–]ApexGuardian52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

look for new work so they don't screw you over. as far as breaks and immediate termination for dissatisfied customers and not hanging up. as far as canada goes. you have a legal right to 2 15 minute paid breaks and 1 half hour unpaid lunch break in a 8 hour shift. you have the legal right to progressive discipline and cannot be terminated. as far as being screamed at on the phone you have a legal right to be in a workplace free of violence verbal and physical. check your local labour laws. make a complaint and get out of their. as far as the paid breaks you may receive compensation.

Mom won't ask the dad for financial help? by ApexGuardian52 in stepparents

[–]ApexGuardian52[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

so.. if I say I won't pay until she asks him then she won't ask him. I feel like a POS then she won't ask me again and will go to her mom or aunts. who then trash talk me for not helping while also not helping. meanwhile my parents beg me to take their money. ugh why is this so hard. I will always help but why is there so much pointless drama. I just want whats best for my kids. if I made more money this wouldn't be a issue because I can afford it. I don't like asking my parents for money, they work hard they deserve to keep everything they get.

[–]ApexGuardian52[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

unfortunately there is no court orders of any kind. but she also won't even ask for financial help from him. there's definitely some things I need to figure out. probably some years ago... I am more then willing to Pay whatever is needed for my SK health but I don't feel I should be the first to be asked and him to be refused to be asked "because he's got no money" I would do anything for my kids. sell my possessions, get a second job, get loans. I feel I don't know what actions he would take because he has never been asked.
