urban security

Since the last time I came here to look for a job and worked as a security guard, Mr. L had stayed here for more than ten days. However, not long after, he went to another place. Since then, all affairs here have been fully responsible by the captain, who can be said to be the real person in charge here. Due to the huge difference in status and responsibilities, everyone respects him very much. However, although the captain has the right to arrange specific work tasks, when it comes to personnel arrangements, he still needs to listen to the opinions of superiors or relevant departments.

Speaking of security work, not everyone is fascinated by it. Although it seems relatively easy on the surface, it is actually quite boring. In addition, the salary level is not high, and the work location is in a remote place like a desolate mountain, so few people are willing to come here to work. After all, such conditions are really hard to attract people to come to work.

In addition, the funding is too little, so how can we find people? And jobs like construction site security are not worth spending too much money to find people. So now we are facing a shortage of staff. Go to that... This plan does have some problems. So we have to recruit people. As for recruiting people, the team leader is also very anxious to recruit people, but he just can't recruit the right people. But we still have to continue recruiting people and let them find some people to come. That kind of situation also happens. I don't know if it is intentional or unintentional. Anyway, there have been no new people joining the company for a long time. This is really annoying, and sometimes I talk about it with others.

But does L always deliberately not recruit people? This statement is different from what the project department said. They have various views and opinions on security issues. If the real situation is revealed, it would be equivalent to betraying a man. After all, this situation is very rare. The security captain had difficulty arranging work properly, and the safety inspection and other unexpected events made things even worse.

Without enough manpower to deal with it and lack of financial support, it would inevitably fall into a very difficult dilemma. However, no one came to help deal with the matter. So someone came up with a plan and conveyed the news to Party A's project department. Afterwards, they purchased relevant information and received feedback that it would not hurt to reduce some security personnel, which could save a huge amount of expenses. Unexpectedly, the security captain pushed all the responsibilities onto General L.

I heard about this, but I also saw him in person. It was in the security booth, and the first space had been completed, and I happened to be eating there. He and the security guard from the project department were also there. The next day, he said, "That's it, it's a personal problem for both of you." It's hard to say, why are you still working for him? Did he pay you? The captain seemed embarrassed, and he replied, "Then why are you still working!" Then he continued, "You need to explain the situation to the project department. It's not easy for us security guards to deal with this problem. Without your sincerity, we dare not act easily." Then he said something else, and finally said, "Okay, okay, I tell you, it's okay, that's it."

The security director of the project department called me and said he was sorry for causing me some trouble. The construction site here does need security personnel, but no one has been responsible for this work. Sometimes I support the captain's ideas, but I feel very disgusted with the practice of passing certain information to the project department. Of course, if the captain's salary can be improved in some way, such as increasing some expenses, he may not have such complaints.

In addition, there were some internal conflicts between the staff and the security guards, which made the situation more complicated. The captain once asked his brother to come over to help, which solved the problem temporarily. However, not long after, General L came here again and found a young man to serve as a security guard. This young man is a fellow villager of General L and me, and is younger than me. Since he had never worked as a security guard before, General L asked me to take him under his wing, and I agreed.

The captain actually assigned him to my position, post number one, which is the first place that workers arrive at before going to work. It can be called construction site number one! In this way, I was naturally assigned to guard construction site number two, which is the gate below construction site number one. When we get off work. The two of us (the young man and I) will go back to the dormitory together. I always bring him here in the morning and take him back after get off work. We walk along the mountain road. He was very curious. So he kept asking me about various situations, such as why security guards need to pay more attention, learn more, and be polite. In addition, things like shift changes, buses, and visitor registration should also be clarified. Also, if there is anything you don’t understand, just ask me or the captain directly. Then we walked there together.

The big-name construction site is worthy of its name! From the staff dormitory, just walk along this road to the corner, and you can see the original functional area that occupies about two-thirds of the area. Then, go around a few more bends and you will reach the canteen. We usually line up here to get food, but because we came too late, there are not many dishes to choose from in the canteen. Although there are still meals available, I looked at the dishes and was not satisfied. They were not delicious enough. Moreover, the geographical location here is relatively remote, and it is not convenient to go out for meals because you are unfamiliar with the place. What's more, there was no take-out service at that time. If you go out to eat, the cost is too high, which is not cost-effective. Therefore, workers like us can only reluctantly accept such meals. Over time, I gradually got used to this kind of life and no longer asked for any delicacies from the mountains and the sea. As long as I could fill my stomach, it would be fine.

At that time, our lives were very simple, and our daily schedule was almost the same - we were ready to go to the canteen for meals. Over time, even the auntie who served the meals remembered both of us. Whenever we stepped into the canteen, she would always greet us with a smile, and skillfully prepare a meal for me, and then quickly prepare another for him. However, unlike me, he would always order dishes without hesitation, obviously wanting to taste more delicious and rich food. So, we would sit at the same table to enjoy lunch or dinner together.

He often chooses to eat fish and other delicious meat dishes, while I can only eat vegetables as my staple food. But when I am lucky, I can also taste a satisfying large lean meat or fragrant black pepper meat, accompanied by a portion of carrot fried pork. Although the dishes are relatively small, I never complain because I don’t have too many preferences for foods like chicken wings.

To be honest, the living conditions here are indeed quite difficult, and sometimes I even find it unbearable. However, I always tell myself that I must be firm in my faith and persevere. I firmly believe that as long as I maintain a positive and optimistic attitude, the future will gradually become better.

At that time, he impulsively said that he wanted to leave the construction site and stop working, so I said to him: "You have to let me have something to eat! You have only been here for one day, how come it has become like this?" He responded that he really couldn't bear this hardship. The word "too" probably means "really, especially". Then he called Mr. L and said: "Mr. L, this place is really too bad, it's not convenient at all!" Mr. L on the other end of the phone kept persuading him: "Stick to work for another week! Now that you have come out, I will replace you after I recruit someone. Anyway..." It felt okay, but the tone of the call seemed a bit stiff. He replied: "Okay, okay, then I will stick with you for a while.

Seeing him being convinced by Mr. L, the weight of the stone in my heart finally fell to the ground. At this moment, I really felt a sense of peace of mind - at least in the next period of time, I will have a companion of similar age to spend time with. Moreover, one more person here means one more possibility, well, at least the situation will improve. In the past, the captain always lacked confidence when he wanted to arrange tasks, but now it is different. Having people means strength. I believe that the captain will be more confident when deploying personnel in the future!
