When I first stated for Securitas Security I had to go through many classes of First Aid and the Requirements for on job security that took about two weeks, and during this I was told as an official security officer I am allowed to go into any area. Then the first month at my job site people were complaining things went missing. So we kept a good eye out, I was working the night shift 12am-8am.
Couple Weeks go by and now over $1000 worth of stuff is missing, cameras, ipods, cash, change, etc. I was a full time worker then went to school right after work ad was a full time student. Right after class on January 9th, I was called into the main office for a meeting,
I clearly asked why I had to come into downtown, and was told they cannot say why over the phone, most likely because they record everything and didn't want what they were accusing me for on the recording. They also told me I couldn't work until I went to see them. They demanded I come right away, so I agreed to go.
When I arrived at the company I was put in an office with my Human Resource Manager Crystal Brown, and she asked me what I know about the thefts, I told her I knew what they knew and she said that I knew more than I knew.
I said I don't understand where your going with this and she finally got to the point and accused me of stealing money from the job site along with electronics. I replied with outrage, I couldn't believe this company would accuse me for such things.
I kept replying there's no way id do something like that, during this I'm also going to school for Criminal Justice. There's no way that I did that. She then said that I'm being discharged and without pay. I asked what without pay? She replied that I wouldn't get my last few paychecks without signing a release form.
Thinking about my family I made a really big mistake on my part, I signed the form didn't get a copy and biggest didn't read it. Got one pay check, waited 4 weeks for the other to come in because the lost one in the mail. I got a call from her a week later saying the job site I worked for wants $123.00.
I told her I'm not paying anything. I didn't do it and she says you signed a statement saying you did, right there says I'm screwed for everything. When I told her I'm not paying she relied that it was going on my credit, which I didn't know was legal. Fair enough it was on there and I get about 6-10 letters a week to this day from the creditor.
I opened my first letter from their creditor and it stated I owed $123.00 for, get this, Uniforms, I thought to myself hmmm they said stolen items and this says uniforms, so I drove downtown and brought all the uniforms and then got a receipt.
On the way out she came out and grabbed the receipt out of my hands and said that's for stolen goods. I said but it says uniforms, which I still have documents on and ill be willing to send to anyone to show this rip off.
I then took my paper back and my uniforms and was about to leave when she tried to grab the uniforms from me too, and I said not until I get that receipt back. But they denied giving it back and I said then your not getting these and left. The next 2 days I received another letter saying I owe over $200.00 for uniforms. They both say uniforms but the HR Manager says ones for stolen stuff.
Hmm that's interesting, I still have the uniforms, and will not return them without a receipt for both these bills and they stay out of my credit. Then I tried to get unemployment and I couldn't even get that because they disputed it and my family lawyer said there's n point for trying for it they'll make up something more to take out on you.
They state they have me on camera in restricted areas, although they told me in the interview I am to go in every place to scope out that nothing is going on, Every Where, in the building. They said hidden cameras of me going in cubical draws.
For all I know they could have taken footage of me at the front desk going into my desk draw to get a pen and use that against me. They also got my fingerprints everywhere? How? My fingerprints are not even on file because I never committed any crimes what so ever. I worked there my fingerprints are going to be around. Over 15 other security guards work there it could be them or even their employees at the job site which calculate over 5,000.
I've done the research, I'm not asking for any money back. I just want people to know to look out for them selves. These people are looking to get you. They made up a so called law when I was in there that they need to Weigh the checks, whatever that means, I knew what it meant for me $80.00 less in my checks for now on. Where was it going? They never had answers, I can tell you, it was going into their pockets.
Every day I get letters from them, I just want to be left alone and people to understand tat Securitas Security is a bad company to work for and they are accusers, fraud, liars, framers, I could go on and on.
I was recently talking o someone on Myspace.com that had a similar problem with this company in Boston. I really would like the $600.00 I should have gotten from MA Unemployment but I know that wont ever happen. I won't go to a hearing just for the fact that it's going to be a waste of my time.
Please if you have any questions feel free to ask me. Thank You for your time.
