So at our corporate office we have some pretty good security. Security badge required when you enter the building. Security badge just to get PAST the security guard sitting in the "entrance foyer", then it's the break room and several sets of doors - all of which HAVE security swipe pads but they're just open usually.

you go through all the extra doors then you come to our "formal lobby" which has all the purse displays and history stuff etc etc etc. Go left, and you head to the distribution center, go right and you head to the elevators to go up to my department.

SO apparently on the 31st a former, disgruntled employee walked in right behind someone who swiped in at the door. walked in past security and when he couldn't get through there he jumped the gate that has the security swipe badge thing on it, at which point SECURITY DID NOT GET UP to get his ass
NewYearSameMe
but instead, sat there saying "no...stop" think Willy Wonka i guess.
NewYearSameMe
Dude rolled through the break room, through all the wide open doors, made the left and popped open the door to the DC because apparently it's security code thing was broken
Renee Harvy
Yeah, that's how workplace shootings happen. FFS
NewYearSameMe
and then went rolling through the warehouse grabbing stuff and sticking it in his pants
NewYearSameMe
AND WHEN CONFRONTED
NewYearSameMe
makes the finger guns and says he has a real one
NewYearSameMe
someone out of his line of site calls 911 - which the fucking soon to be fired security guard did not do- as two male supervisors got control of his arms and wrangled him out of the building
NewYearSameMe
he did not, in fact, have a gun.
PlurkRani
Did the security guard stop the two male supervisors from removing him?
NewYearSameMe
however apparently there was a big meeting and all those security checkpoints that are wide open will not be on perm lockdown and no one without a security badge will get through - unless they piggyback like this fucker did so they really should think on it some more.
NewYearSameMe
no the security guy apparently helped when they got BACK TO TEH DOOR
NewYearSameMe
but he was like "i'm the only one here i'm not allowed to leave my post"

"I guess I'll have to watch it on the monitor."

u know how people pay daycare workers min wage? think of all the children they will not save
Gogo ♔
his policy seems clear, never abandon post
NewYearSameMe
our security guards are armed.
NewYearSameMe
so anyway i always thought it was weird all those doors are open anyway
NewYearSameMe
like - my badge determines where i am allowed to go
NewYearSameMe
CSRs are only allowed to follow the path that lets them go to the contact center
NewYearSameMe
warehouse people can't go upstairs
NewYearSameMe
IF the doors are closed
Gogo ♔
i never felt that safe anywhere at work; my coworkers were carrying guns as well lol
Gogo ♔
not on them, they claim, but is GA, so in their glovebox
Gogo ♔
any of them could be having a bad day
NewYearSameMe
Everywhere I ever work it’s illegal to bring into the building and everyone always does lol
Gogo ♔
be super nice to people, give them no reason to take you out
NewYearSameMe
I try. I always was super nice to the dude I totally picked as the shooter at one job. He thought I was his trusted confidant
Gogo ♔
was he the shooter?
NewYearSameMe
No one did thank god
OhCecilia

Heather/Sanura🦩

"So at our corporate office we have some pretty good security." No. No you do not. You're describing the opposite of pretty good security 
NewYearSameMe
Well - let’s say I always felt like it was pretty good UNTIL NOW
NewYearSameMe
Apparently now it will be better bcse you know gonna lock the doors and shit
