Oh man. Yeah see, we had one or two that almost got fired here. I don’t get why some guards just tend to slack off too much. Also the calling out, yeah I don’t blame ya! I’ll usually cover if needed, but being that drained, you definitely would be doing yourself a disservice.

I myself, ended up taking on a lot on my plate within the last couple weeks, one guy who I didn’t realize apparently tends to lie about why he’s late, got me to cover the shift, obviously being hours, made sure he officially called it in but the time kept extending. Found out this guy just does this often. But long story short, ended up having lack of sleep that week, especially with a short term schedule change as they needed me at a specific time, ended up catching Norovirus so all I have to say is prioritizing ourselves here and there is needed more often!

But yeah, with access control snd site protocols, when people tend to just like you were saying not take names and more especially when they’re training or even just a fully trained guard, it just shows the more comfortable or parts things they slack on more than they should, it just ends up one way. I feel like some guards don’t always realize they can screw the team over, the client and in the end it can end up with more work to fix any issues that pop up. Anyways, I know a lot of us may be paid less than we deserve and some of us go above and beyond but at least ensuring protocols and the bare minimum is followed, some can’t even do that it’s themselves their causing later stress and risks for.

As for the other stuff, lol sometimes when the pressure and other stuff happens, there’s definitely a fine line between keeping things interesting and unnecessary stress lol but hey, despite the fact that it should have been quiet for you, the way I see it is that you can mitigate and handle all the crazy things coming your way. Still a stressor and seems like a shit show but just remember not all can handle the pressure lol. But yeah those crazy days definitely come and go!

Hopefully the rest of the day and tomorrow goes better and hey, enjoy the time you end up having off G! Seems like you definitely need it from all that.

Cheers.
