Go to my BoudicaSlade below, see the fine work of Securitas if u think this company is bad. There is TREMENDOUS PROFIT OPPORTUNITY FOR SOMEONE to hire up all the GOOD street security and pay about $18 per hour by cutting out the management expense of the giant company. We train them to be NICE and HELPFUL that way out clients are happy! U in Security? Goldmine opportunity... no business is more ripe for fragmenting/franchising to the OPERATORs him/herself.
OK - first of all, we don't get paid minimum wage or even $10 an hour...it's well beyond that. I spent 26 years in law enforcement and decided to work at a G4S contract nuke plant as a retirerment job. I work with a fine bunch of folks - either curent or retired law enforcement, current or retired military, or just plain solid people. Sleeping on the job means instant termination..I lnow, because I now am a union official.Just thought you all should know...
i fully agruee to what whackennut is doing or have done you you sign your paper work and other things to get your permits and you get hired on with a company like that you pretty much give up a normal sleep time and there is no sorry or anything for those officers to be alsleep.On this point i back whackennut for there decission. If you fall asleep as a gaurd you should have choose something elsa to do other then be a security gaurd or officer.
No idea how old this footage is, but Wackenhut periodically loses facilities like this to other guard contractors but gets them back in about three years. Nothing REALLY changes and any change talked about is just lip service.
here is the funny part that they did not touch on but not trying to lesson the fact they should NOT be sleeping. but outside of the plant there are 2 stages of guards the first set does a search of ANY vehicle and checks ID"s. then the second set does a ID and under vehicle check for explosives. and they have orders to shoot to kill if any vehicle does not stop. however the guards inside should be ready to go at a moments notice. one way or the other the guards napping should be fired
Yeah the government picks the cheapest bidder to protect "high terrorist" targests that make at the most 15 dollars an hour. Check out wackenhut's sit to see the wages for armed/unarmed officers....you need about two jobs to make ends meet. Also, why wouldn't a fellow guard help out his buddies and wake them up? The man who chose to videotape for an hour put that place at risk just the same as those who were sleeping. What a douche.
Security employees besides being underpaid they are overworked. I bet you these guys work about 16 hours per day 5 to 6 days even 7 days per week maybe work in two or three different security companies to make ends meet.
Hello..what do you expect when you pay guys $10.00 an hour to guard a MULTI-MILLION dollar operation that is a target for terrorism? You only get professionals when you pay for them and wackenbutt will sign a multi-million dollar contract every year, but NOT pay the security guys what they deserve. If you were to pay them $30.00 an hour and manage a normal work schedule, you would not have ANY issues like this, but we all know only the big wigs should make a good living with no responsibility!
if theirn break its not so shocking, they could have been in line at the drive thur at Bk lounge, sensationalism over fact prevail in crap news these days, we wernt given a clear --they were on break , lunch or they werent--do yourself a favor no matter what the story is Walter Kronkite is gone, take it with a grain of salt and think for yourselves
This is absolutely insane. If you are in the military and somebody catches you doing that, it's going to be a very bad day for you. The US Navy has nuclear reactors running perfectly well with no deaths that I have ever heard of. You just need discipline and responsible management.
I am a security guard myself. I can tell you, that is the dumbest thing i have ever seen. Those types of security positions are super easy and they pay decent. Ya they are super boring, and your sitting there for hours on end. But that is what the rounds are for. In the the 6 years i have been in the security i have never fallen asleep.
These officers are in a ready room they are not paid to patrol,there are other officers for that. And as far as being able to run they have to train all the time. I guess you think fire fighters stay awake all night to. No they stay in a ready room and sleep.But I guess everyone thinks thats different they just have to save your life. Get the facts before you talk your stupid shit. And as for the guard that taped this he has no code and needs his camara shoved up his ass if its not already there
You obviously are trying to tell people about a job you know nothing about! What makes you think they are on 20-30 dollars??
Think like a business man. You wouldn't pay someone 20-30 dollars just to sit there doing nothing. For instance would you care if you got sacked if you were earning 20-30 dollars?? Its not like you can go from one place to another at that rate. These people wouldn't be sleeping on 20-30 dollars. Not a chance in Hell.
actually when this happened im sure they were making around 20/hour. i work in illinois at one of their sister plants for security and was making the same as them.
@Tzimnewman3 ..I believe so...these guys were at "LEAST",making 25 dollars an hour,they are armed guards, WE at Wackenhut get 20-25 dollars if we are armed guards..
@mailove2008 ANother thing to point out is that these guards are sleeping in their tea room. I work in security and during our breaks we can do what we like which includes sleeping. I think the main concern would be if that they were asleep when they are on duty (at their post). I hate how people who know nothing about security claim that this is shocking. Are they not entitled to get a break lol

Hey wackenhut has made sure that no high school drop
outs or anyone that is not a team player works for them
also you might want to note the only way they get their
accounts is being on a goverment vendors list.It makes
you wonder whos pocket they had to put money in to to get
this account.

When you pay people minimum wage, what do you expect? Do you think they are going to put their hearts into it?
Ever heard the famous rhyme:
"They make a dollar,
I make a dime...
And that's why I sleep,
On company time.
