I know...apparently, the security company had complaints about him and yet it was the guy that complained who had to leave his job because the man was so hateful, racist, sexist and angry all the time that it became unbearable. Nope, no warning signs there.
If you knew how little it actually takes to be an armed guard in this society you would probably not be happy.
Security (at least until you get to a certain high end level) are low payed, un-unionized, few benefits, and in most cases companies see it as an arbitrary insurance requirement (ie we will ensure your facility if someone is there after hours to pull the fire alarm) armed guards make a little more, but a friend of mine is an armed messenger (the guy who picks up the cash from the safe at grocery store/gas station etc, there's two people in the truck, a driver and a messenger) and he makes like 16 an hour. and has worked there for 5 years. I am in my second year as a truck driver for a local company in Seattle and make 21 an hour for comparison purposes. it's a dead end job. and turnover is high. in addition unlike the police they almost never lay hands on people so they never attract media attention so even less accountability,
I'm not saying it's right, but that's why bad egg security guards remain on the job for years.
The security industry is all kinds of screwed up.
