What happened, well they sent me somewhere high profile, I was having real trouble turning up on time, often arriving 8 to 10 minutes late for my shift, which caused the guy I was coming down to re-leave to get very angry, so one day I walked in the door and the guy had a right go at me and bundled me into a corner under a pile of flying fists and kicks.
Then when I called my Boss about it and threatened to quit, he came down to have a "Meeting! " sat in a chair and roared in my face "YOU WANTED THE JOB! "
How sympathetic, anyway, I got my transfer to somewhere a little more local, expected to turn up on time, but once again it was out in the sticks, no buses or transport to get there.
Then when I was working there one of the night shift officers, turns out he liked men, sat there and began insisting I should sit on his lap and give him a kiss and a cuddle.
Ever tried to run away from a 12 stone big guy who quote "likes you! "
Shortly after that I requested yet again another transfer, they started sending me all over the inner parts of the city of London, then had a raging go at me when I failed to turn up on time or neglected to turn up at all. I don't know how they expect people to even get to the job when they neglect to pay the staff half the time and you have to be a math wizard to read your pay-slip.
Had a complete nervous breakdown one day, seeing pink elephants and mumbling about hoodies smashing my face in, which had happened I had had my nose broken and a knock on the head does funny things to people, especially when they haven't slept well in days from leaving the house really early at around 4.30 to 5.30 am every morning arriving home at around 1.30 to 2.30 every night.
Not to mention the starvation of not being being able to eat coupled with the stress of not being able to pay my rent on time.
Then when I left I wrote them scathing email, full of profanity, wise? Probably not, because this same firm have now sat there for the last 6 years slandering me very badly to any prospective employer that's called and asked for a reference, how do I know that? Well a few employers have had the good grace to ask before they've taken me under employment, once I explained the situation to them they have been sympathetic, this company might well scream he cant say all that it's in violation of his confidentiality clause but what a shame they don't have the common curtsy to remember that while a member of their own staff in management is sitting there slandering my every job application.
I couldn't believe what I was being told, an employer said when they spoke to HR, the person they spoke to said "Well technically I'm not supposed to tell you this but..." and then proceeded to say things which where defamatory to my character and integrity.
I think we should all hold them to account over the fact they employ some of us (or used to) in government funded work, then fail to pay us correctly or on time and unfortunatly for securitas that is a serious offence. I don't expect to pay TAXES on my income twice!
Oh and I'm still unemployed, homeless, jobless, penniless.
Its all the hard working people who are working for them that are paying my benefits.
Do not put them on your CV.
