It's Wednesday. What fuckening happened in the last seven days that you just deep in your gut is going to ruin everything? Did THAT patient show back up? Did your idea fairy admin have some great new policy to push out? Did marketing decide that you look too militaristic? Or did one of your fellow officers use the "Q" word and NOT catch a metaphoric beating over it?

Was recently removed from my post at the Hospital. I worked for Allied Universal. Been working at this hospital for 15 years. Started as a part time employee working weekends only. We were in house security at that time. Worked my way up to full time, then weekend Supervisor, to shift supervisor, to Site supervisor, and for the last 3 years I was the Account Manager. In the last 2 years, they added extra security post but did not add any extra officers. They added a bunch of responsibility to me, but did not update the pay. We started getting a lot more violent incidents happening and due to lack of Officers, I was responding to everything. For the past 8 months, I have been pleading with the hospital administration asking for more Officers. Department was falling behind, and did not have enough people to keep up. They kept saying no, not in the budget. Now if you just read that, you know as well as I do, they have enough money in the budget to add staffing. So after getting told no repeatedly, I decided to go to Corporate with my issues. I sent a copy of all the email chains. A meeting was set up, between me, higher ups in Allied, and Corporate. After going over everything, and pointing out how unsafe it was to work without proper staffing, Corporate agreed with me. New contract was written up to add staffing and update the pay. 3 days later, I was removed from the Site. Now I am burning up my PTO awaiting for reassignment. So after 15 years and several awards, one gotten the day before being removed, I have learned, that if you mess with their money, your commitment to safety and security means nothing. They are learning lessons too. For example, many of my Officers put in their notice and left the site as soon as they found out I was removed. The Site Supervisor is being asked several times a day, to call me, to figure out how to do much of the work I was doing. They actually expect me to train the person, they want to take my place, even though she already turned it down. Just seems a bit off.

Tired of the BS, working every weekend and holidays, incompetent leadership and coworkers. Not spending time with family and the crap pay. Just put in for a transfer to an office position M-F, no weekends or holidays. It will be here at the hospital but I can drive in with the wife and daughter as we will be working the same hours in the same building just one floor apart. I waited to let my boss know until after my evaluation so I would get the max raise. They can hold up my transfer for six weeks in order to find a replacement. We are currently 4 officers short department wide. I also just interviewed and tested for a sworn position working municipal court security in the area that pays 40% more than what I make right now. Was strung along for the last year but I don’t see any future advancement opportunities for the foreseeable future. Not gonna waste my talent and skills on a dead end position. I still do my job as well as I can but I’m not going to kill myself for a place that will replace me at their earliest opportunity.

As the title says, where do you wanna go? Specifically what’s your goals and future plans? Do you intend on moving up? Do you want to try working for the FBI or somewhere else? Or do you intend on just staying where you are? I’m merely curious what others want to do and what their plans or ideas are. Feel free to write anything somewhat related to the topic.
TLDR: What do you intend to do with your future? Feel free to answer as you wish.

At your hospitals, would you say it’s hard to move up? Do you think you’ll most likely not get a chance to move up because of others with connections? Ect and ect. Anything about moving up in security you can put here. Me personally, I want to move up at my job but there are some people here who have connections to administrators and others higher up so they’re getting a lot more attention and already being considered despite only being here a couple of months.

Anybody else have to deal with a supervisor who has no experience in security except for sitting at a door during COVID? Current supervisor is a retired chef. Loves to micromanage and feels she has something prove to everyone. Is very passive/aggressive and pouts when she thinks she has been slighted in some way. Most of the hospital staff dislike her and some of those in our department have no great love for her either. I’m more neutral as I do what I’m payed for. No more no less. I work my shift and go home.
