Sleeping
on the job is by far the most common problem. Guards may be sleeping at the
front desk, sleep in the back or in their car in the underground
parking garage.
|
|
Far lesser problems include:
|
2.
|
Leaving the site. Maybe they
have gone to a donut shop to buy lunch, are upstairs visiting a
resident or they went home for a couple of hours of proper sleep.
|
3.
|
Watching pornography on the desktop computer.
With the new window-wall lobbies, more guards are getting caught doing
this. It gets really gross when they masturbate while watching porn.
|
|
Yes, this happens. When the
mobile supervisor caught one guard at it, he just got a warning. At a
different condo, the guard was transferred to a different condo because
a resident caught him masturbating.
|
4.
|
Stealing; anything from office supplies to cellphones and bicycles.
|
5.
|
Smoking pot is common among
the younger guards, and some not so young. You can smell it if they smoke joints but if they
use a vapour, then that is a lot harder to detect.
|
6.
|
Alcoholics and heavy drug users. Yep a few are still with us. |
7.
|
Having
friends or relatives join them at the job site. One video gamer had
three friends show up at work so they could all play an online video
game together.
|
8.
|
Use the amenities. Some guards
will use the condo's gym to work out while the odd one will have their
girl friend/boy friend come on site so they can use the guest suite.
|
9.
|
Pencil whipping: Recording false
information in equipment logs and shift reports rather than taking the
actual measurements and writing accurate reports.
|
10.
|
Ignoring residents when they violate the by-laws and rules.
