Assistant: "Uhh, sir? A bunch of the drivers are outside demanding a dental plan and stock options"
CEO: "Too bad, they're contractors and not employees, have security escort them out"
Assistant: "Sir, security is refusing to touch this one. They're all armed to the teeth. One of the, erm, contractors is open carrying a Barrett .50 Calibre sniper rifle and is pointing it at your portrait in the lobby mouthing the words "pew pew pew" repeatedly while miming the motion of recoil on the gun"
CEO: "...actually their demands are perfectly reasonable"
I was curious so I went and took a few security guard practice tests online. The worst score I got was an 85%. They're mostly basic questions about taking notes, placing people under a citizen's arrest, when it's appropriate to unholster a weapon, whether or not you should impersonate a cop, or fire extinguisher use. I genuinely think the only way to fail is if you're answering blatantly wrong questions like "shoot him in the face" or "scream at any teenager that approaching on your side of the street is a felony" or "tell them that you're a police officer and will arrest them" or "throw the fire extinguisher into the fire."
Where i live you have to get a certification for nonviolent de-escalation of conflict it's honestly one of the easiest tests I've ever taken as an adult
I googled it but I got nowhere. Assuming the post is true - I bet the CEO tried to join some private security firm and he failed their test over and over.
Lol it is actually a pretty good idea, if a bit niche. Some of my friends who are into combat sports sometimes struggle to find sparring partners, or want to mix it up with people not from their gym. Making it easier to find that and spaces to practice could help them.
Whoever came up with this is the type of guy who plays cyberpunk 2077 and thinks "this all looks so cool, I wish I lived here but without the fancy technology"
