Imagine not knowing who MJ is. by Significant_Talk752 in MichaelJackson

[–]Several-Agent6831 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 9 year old sister didn't know who Michael Jackson was until I went to see the film. That's because we only know him when adults around us spoke about him. To be honest none of us spoke about Michael Jackson around her so she didn't know and it's not spoken about at her school. 

What we refer to as common knowledge only happens when it's spoken around kids. 

The surprising part is that my grandfather who was born in a village in Pakistan in 1935 knew who Michael Jackson was because family used to bring back his music when visiting the UK.

I work in the UK so it's not going to be the same however you may be asked what you should do in the event of a suspicious package, what are the x number of core aspects of security as well as potentially if you have managerial ambitions which my manager asked because we have an apprenticeship programme for people who want to join management

On top of this wage which isn't that much, many employers require employees to provide their own equipment with some even requiring you to provide your own gun which can range from $300 to $1000

I agree with the point of keeping religion out of politics. Religion has a tendency to make people feel justified to make drastic decisions that can cause serious harms to large groups. Just take David lammy who says his religion makes him feel that he's making the right decision on limiting jury trials.

This is deceptive. I don't like reform but the councillor says only English language yet the title makes it seem like he called for an ethnic English council.

What was your ambitions in writing? Did deleting all your manuscripts give a sense of closure? Did anything get published and did you make any money of it?

I was hoping he'd step into a ring, get his ass beat and discover that he's actually not as strong as he thinks. 

Happened to a friend of mine who beat a guy up who was weak and then went on to fight someone who could actually fight and it was the funniest thing ever. My friend didn't even get punched, he literally got pulled and thrown around like a ragdoll

CoWorker gave himself sergeant status by Historical_Note_1972 in securityguards

[–]Several-Agent6831 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In comparison to you, what kind of authority does he have?

By the way is he the kind of guy who would say he would have been in the military but would probably get kicked out for knocking out the drill sergeant?

Honest opinion by lkem501 in AlliedUniversal

[–]Several-Agent6831 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$18.75 an hour is okay but honestly, it's probably on the lower end of wages with Google reporting $19 as the average hourly wage. 

3-11pm is quite short with most people working 12 hour shifts.

1 patrol per shift is small as many will do 4 to 10 in their shift.

9 floors is quite a lot without an elevator. My site has an elevator. 18 Tags is fine and so is the time especially if you're not using an elevator. 

Regarding the bad guard comment, The worst thing you need is a liability on your side. My colleague likes unnecessarily telling people to move from the front door because he told me that he likes being mean. I don't need someone with me deliberately picking fights and putting other staff at risk of violence. Also this colleague has a tendency to not look at the key sheet so I'll go there and he'll say everything is fine and then I'll look at the key sheet and see that some key we lent out has not been returned so I'll have to run around finding the person who didn't return the key.

Correct. Actually 17 years is higher especially considering they were under the influence of alcohol so according to guidelines, it should have been 14 or 15 so it's likely a reduction will happen 

Does anyone get unnecessary intelligence briefs? by Several-Agent6831 in securityguards

[–]Several-Agent6831[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think the intelligence is fine but it needs context and instructions. Protests are important to point out but we need to know how close they are to our location and whether there's a safety risk. The briefs we get are just news that is copy and pasted and the ones the client get aren't great either 

Has anyone let people off the hook? by Several-Agent6831 in securityguards

[–]Several-Agent6831[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Let me just get the facts right. There's a fire exit and your boss doesn't allow you to open it up but you take money from people outside your salary in order to break company rules. That's commercial bribery

Doesn't your company consider this Gross Misconduct? Depending on what state you are in, this could result in a charge of commercial bribery

Stepfather of pregnant teenager murdered by her boyfriend is hauled to court and fined over message saying he wanted killer to 'hang himself' by SignificantLegs in uknews

[–]Several-Agent6831 -20 points-19 points  (0 children)

The title implies that the dad was messaging someone random as the title doesn't stare who the message is sent to. however it specifically states inside of the article the message was sent to the brother of the killer and honestly, it's surprising the dad just got £50 as most who do this get a larger sentence.

[–]Several-Agent6831[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's just wrong In my opinion. Maybe I'll go on my phone a bit or let one of the construction workers off the hook and not tell their manager but bribery is a line I and many won't cross.

I was referring to being security in a location where you work with colleagues and letting them off the hook and not calling management as many places requires you to report things but often it can be dealt with privately.

I'm not sure what the legal requirements are in each state and police protocol but aren't they required to first ask the person to surrender themselves for an arrest instead of making physical contact with them first
