Self confidence and self esteem comes from making personal progress and you get to be the judge!
If you are really a "bad-ass" you can be really nice almost all the time. You very rarely need act tough and then only for idiots.
"Military or high profile security experience is a plus, vetrans[sic] are encouraged to apply."
Quote from real ad on Craigslist for security "professionals". Yep, I wanna work for youze guys!
(But, then again, it pays more than I am currently paid"!)
I interact with young men in restricted areas frequently. I say: Hi, I'm with Security, this is private property, can I ask what your business is here?
The answers I get range from 'Nothing, just leaving' and they leave. Good answer!
to "I don't give a fu*k, Fu*k you; you can't say anything to me!" and they raise their fists. Bad answer.
Love of theory is the root of all evil-W.B. Briggs
WOW, Nation of Islam customers who call me "white devil" and ask me "what evil have you done today, Satan?"
Well, let me think: I may have hurt my integrity by not pounding you for your insults. Is that what you mean?
It is easy to insult me on duty when any appropriate personal response will get me fired. These cult members never say such things to me when I am off duty.
I have to stop telling women when I think they are Beautiful. They think I want to sleep with them, when it is just my aesthetic appreciation. Now Sexy is a different category
There are no mitigating circumstances that would let you break any rule of the organization, unless you can convince HR/Personnel it was for the benefit of the organization AND it prevented a disaster or lawsuit. The rules are for you, not for management. They will not think or use reason.
All talk of ethics, morals and value added in the workplace apply to you, not to management. They just want to be able to say they "taught you ethics" (Yeah, amazing, I know)
They say it is impossible to live in America for one day without breaking numerous laws. This is the same in the company and to the same purpose. If you anger them they can easily find a "violation" of the rules for which to fire you.
When they ask for suggestions, the only good suggestion is one that the manager can claim as their own and that will get the manager accolades. Any other suggestions are threats to managers, implying that their organization is less than perfect. After all, if the idea was a good one, they would have already have implemented it...and why are you causing trouble! Yes, they are generally petty, vindictive, stupid, apathetic and malicious. Get over it. [Yes, BTW, they already know they are frauds. But they also know they are better than you!]
Whistle blowers will be punished or fired. The termination will be for "performance" not the whistleblowing.
As a line employee you must stay silent (except for Yes, Sir) and accept the mediocrity of the first line superiors, managers and your fellow employees. Anything else will get you fired. STFU MYOB.
