Securitas, reverse discrimination don't report what they don't want to hea

At Austin branch everything depends on where you are posted. Every post is different, but far too many are screwed up. Two rules: Don't believe anything the office tells you and, stay away from and avoid office personnel at all costs (familiarity breeds contempt, the more they see you the more they will lie to you - if you tell them they are wrong and prove it your ass is on the list). Only Miss M can be trusted.

The office is usually 75% black (in a 10% black city) and some of them have chips as big as ships on their shoulder. Mix in incompetance and you've got people ready to explode when they can't handle a situation, or get caught lying (an enormous habit of the branch manager).

Reporting wrongdoing or even felony criminal acts by other officers or supervisors to the office or the alertline (that goes straight to the local HR manager) will get you in a lot of trouble - transfered to a dump site or better yet made a rover (ever done a crackhead/ho infested motel 6 on a friday night?).

Remember, Texas is a "right to work" state and securitas is an "at will" employer. Basically you have no rights and can be fired at any time for any reason. If you want to do what's right, go ahead but expect them to "kill" the messenger. The office personnel want to do the least they can and people bringing them problems are considered to be the problem.

Keep your head down and try to get a quiet post with a decent supervisor. To the office you are just "a body in a uniform" and they will drop an excellent officer and replace him with someone who fits that description in a heartbeat.

I worked for aps/pinkerton/securitas in Austin for over 10 years and I can honestly say it is a royally screwed up branch. It is upside down, inside out and a*f* backwards. White is the new black here but blacks aren't treated much better unless they're friends of the branch mgr. Or hr mgr. But if they claim any kind of racist act, word or deed it is assumed by the office to be true until proven otherwise, and all the bros know this. So expect any report of wrongdoing by a black officer to be answered with a counter charge of racism that they weren't going to report until it became "necessary" to protect themselves.

Good luck and expect your number to come up eventually.
