The #1 Thing (to avoid being fired as a guard)

The #1 thing to avoid being fired is to MAKE NO PROBLEMS for your bosses or clients!

What constitutes a "problem" will vary by boss, client and environment.

Usually they simply do not want to hear from you at all;  unless it is SERIOUS: like a big fire, dead body, shots fired (unless normal for your environment), shots you fire, rapes, or other serious felonies or you won't be in to work.

Don't forget we are playing pieces; square pegs for hopefully square holes. We are just bodies they can make a profit on...and not much of a profit at that.

They are busy with chronically late, loser and criminal guards, no calls-no shows, psycho clients or their own personal home or work problems.

Trying to intentionally impress them with your Dedication, attention to detail, superior skills, winning personality, superior security knowledge, etc. is a Problem!

"The nail that stands highest is the first to get hammered."

Even winning 'Officer of The Month' is a Problem; they must generate paperwork and may have to give you a small raise and are worried you will get a big head and be an ongoing problem for them.

Just do a good job. Be reliable.

STFU, blend-in, stealth life, GTM.
