I had been employed with us security associates for alittle more then a year when while working for Factory 2-u clients, I was "laid off" for the simple fact that "client" was requesting male guard to pose more of a threat to the daily and hourly thieves. When I first started working with the company they never even completed a detailed background and hired me right away because they were in demand of employee placement. At the time I thought "cool" but now I know why. I was placed in a position where I was relieving an employee who failed to have respect for her fellow coworkers and basically got away with murder leaving post 30 minutes early and leaving the key to security vehicle in the vehical for me to find when I arrived on post. Her reasoning was that of she had to catch the bus, and if I couldn't come in early for her everyday then that was her only option. All the while the field supervisor and other upper management officials allowed this behavior to continue till it got so bad that the female threatened to physically violate me in a voicemail. Then and only then was this person "fired".
Shortly after that there was a "random background" performed. Supposedly on all employees, and the points came up on my driving record so I was pulled from that post after 8 months and sent to Delano Sears warehouse to set as a front desk receptionist. I would meet and greet all the employees and sign in all visitors. The job was cake, but the supervisor on the post didn't care for my obvious race. When the graveyard shifts were set up as random between the three shifts to make it fair ... I got stuck with all graveyard shifts then, after I was promised mornings ... I was sent to graveyards because no one else could do it. Mind you I was the only one driving up from Bakersfield. Then after 3 months I was in the midst of training two individuals... Which this made me think I was doing good, if the supervisor trusted me enough to train, but low and behold behind my back I was only training these individuals to take over my position. Therefore I was "phased out" of my own job! This was now the second time in the first year that I was being "laid off" from the same employer..
I was then found a setting post in back of a retailer watching stock that was left in an outside alley way. I was back on graveyard. This lasted for another 3-4 months. No complaints. When that job post ended or was better said "cut", I was sent to Factory 2-u in the ghetto. Now I am a white female 29 in age 170 pounds. I was unarmed and there to observe and report. I read the handbook and the rules of factory 2-u clients were conflicting. The client wanted me to follow suspects and chase them out of the store all the while clients lp management wanted me to check reciepts and staystanding up front of the store at all times. At this time there was a new field supervisor-- who cared less say or do shit! When the client only paid for one guard supervisor left one with me for about three weeks of payed train. When I didn't need any training. Plus this individual would write in hours he wasn't even working and get paid for over time he didn't even work. He was robbing the company blind but hats what the company deserved for not checking. Ha ha ha.
About 4 mos into this post, mind you client managmebt and guards are to work together and notify one another of suspicious acts within or around the areas. One Friday night a black male came Into the store and stuffed a bag with shoes, he left the shoes in the back for another male to pick up..Factory 2-u Managment was aware of this and did not fill me in. The black male grabbed the bag and walked out. When I asked the male "are you planing to pay for your purchase!?" he replied back "are you Trippin bitch!" then he took off running. The client wanted me to chase after him. I just started laughing. And said that is against post order commands with us security. For insurance pourposes I am not to chase follow or invade another individules privacy due to being negligently sued. Long story short, for the fourth time I was being laid off... This time to apparently not upholding the needs of the client. Which this excuse later turned into being laid off due to clients request of removal and request for a male guard. Which is sexually Discriminating, and I soon after filed a complaint with fair employment and was rewarded for half of what I deserved out of court!! DO NOT WORK FOR THIS COMPANY!!
