At the site I'm currently posted, there's our company and then TWC does the internal stuff.
So, one night as I was making my rounds of the property areas, a crown vic pulls up next to me and one of Wackenhut CPO's starts chatting me up about how he's an LEO, gets to work for FEMA and on and on and on. At one point, I was wondering when he was going to claim he'd been George Bush's personal bodyguard. Sometimes, I wish hip waders were issued along with uniforms. He even went so far as to say, "We're normally armed but we're not carrying out of respect for you guys". Huh? Most of our officers ARE armed...so, WTF?! Not only did he say this in a condescending tone, but what happens if I need your master pistol skills, Wyatt Earp? Then to top it all off, he tries to hire me away from my company. Geeez....
The very next night, one of the Wackenhut guards at the gate house approaches me asking if my company is hiring. It seems, he's sick of TWC and that in his experience, the heiarchy is 3) Securitas, 2) Wackenhut, 1) Us. I told him, we were always looking for good officers and if he felt it was right he should contact our main office.
Ok, I'd worked for Wackenhut for a few months about 5 years ago and left, because I just didn't care for the company, but with guys like this CPO trying to impress me (this happened when I worked for them as well) and one of their guards asking if we were hiring, I wanna know, what's really going on these days?
