WOW! I've been an employee for a LONG time and I've seen a LOT over the years. One of the things I've always had to shake my head at is how people like you become "supervisors". I read daily logs, incident reports and such on a daily basis from supervisors and I have to just ask "They're a supervisor? Really? Why?" While reading your little rant, I can pretty much tell, knowing what I know, why you were moved from site to site. It had nothing to do with them wanting to promote you, as you put on. I'm sure it had everything to do with you making waves and trying to be the big man on campus and bragging about your "coming" promotion to anyone and everyone that would listen. I'd be interested to know how many write ups you
have in your personnel folder, I'm sure it's quite thick.
It's obvious that you lack not only class, but effective communication skills. I'm not the least bit surprised you thought you were doing "us" a favor by rigging up those, um, "lights" on the golf cart. How many times did you complain about the branch office's "refusal" to submit to your demands to put lights on that golf cart to the client? You do know that unauthorized contact with the client is not only against company policy, but a terminating offense, right? How do you know why the lights were not added to the cart? There could be any number of reasons, you, would not be privy to knowing, as it's none of your business. (You won't be getting those back, because once you placed them on company/client property, without permission, they became the property of the same. As for the DVDs? Tsk, Tsk! You're not supposed to be watching TV or movies while on post, you're supposed to be GUARDING THE CLIENTS PROPERTY!! Just in case you missed that part of the training or the handbook.)
Another thing I'd like to address is the truck. I can't remember in all the years I've been with this company, that it has ever sold a branch vehicle to a guard, office staff or manager. They always go to the auction. I'd be willing to wager, that rather than contacting the branch office to let them know they needed to move the truck (like you were told to do), you took it upon
yourself to move it to your home, in hopes that they would sell it to you for cheap. I'll go one further and bet that you took all the decals off before ever getting a final say, one way or the other. Frankly, you're lucky you're not in jail for grand theft. When they told you the title was lost? They were being nice. They cut you a break, count your blessings.
I have a sneaking suspicion that the branch staff, supervisors and clients were far too lenient with you and tolerated you because they knew you needed work. I don't know about that branch, but most branches rarely fire people. When they
do, it's usually for something pretty bad. From what I've seen, they're extremely tolerant; most companies would have fired you for at least three things you have admitted to here. But sometimes, I admit, a warm body is better than nobody.
Do yourself a favor, learn how to follow policies the company your work for sets for you. Learn to keep your mouth shut and do the job you were assigned to do. (You have two ears and one mouth for a reason!) And above all else, learn how to use spell check (the little ABC icon up there with the little check mark? That's what it's for!) Or better yet? Go take a course in Business English and learn how to speak to people in a professional environment, properly. Your skills are sorely lacking. (Translate that to: the reason they weren't promoting you is because you speak, write and act in an unprofessional manner.)
We call your type "F'ing cowboys", cop wannabes. If you want to be a cop, go to the academy! I'll be sending a copy of this to our Corporate Attorney tomorrow. It was nice of you to name names and ask for assistance in bringing down that branch/this
company. I'm pretty sure the only attorney you're going to be talking to is one that's going to be trying to figure out how to get you out of a lawsuit.
Oh and, have a nice day and all that jazz.
