Allied Universal / Aus.com employees concerns not addressed

My name is Denise Hardy was hired at Allied Universal in Chicago, IL on April 19, 2018 Employee ID# 796395. When I was interviewed I explained to the interviewer that I am a team player and hope that my co-workers are too. On my first day the client trained me on the site, the Allied Universal security manager never showed me anything. If I had a question, I would go to the client at the site and ask any questions. When I asked any co-workers to show me what they do, they would tell me that they are not paid to train me. I would tell them that I just wanted to know what they were doing because we were going to be doing the same job, but my co-workers would not show me or tell me anything. I both this to my manager (Mark Craver) for the site, and I was told they are not suppose to train me, I was very hurt by this statement because I was told that my co-worker were team players. I never felt comfortable going to the client to show me my job I always felt it was my Allied Universal Security Manager job to train and answer any problems or concerns I may have. I e-mailed my Allied Universal Security Manager (Mark Craver) by e-mail on May 27th, 2018 to be transferred to another site, Mr. Craver never responded. On May 30th I contacted the Tinley Park Office and was told I had to speak to Ricky Williams. I left several telephone messages for Mr. Williams, to call me, but Mr. Williams has never contacted me. I only wanted to be transferred to another sited. On May 30, 2018 I gave up my uniform and the badge for the site.

Know one from Allied Universal has ever contacted me regarding how I am feeling, or addressed any of my concerns. I left a security company to come to Allied Universal. I never thought Allied Universal would treat me so bad.

I contacted California officer for Allied Universal many times, I contacted the Tinley Park, IL office, the Chicago, Il office just to have someone help me and know one has ever called me. I don't understand why no one ever contacted me just to ask me anything. It has really hurt, because I have filled out other jobs for Allied Universal on-line because I'm not working. I just wanted to know why Allied Universal never contacted me to ask me anything about the job, address my concerns.

I don't know if this will be answered but I am writing maybe after 30 days someone will contact me

Sincerely

Allied Universal / Aus.com vendor pass validation scam

I work at the village mission valley in San Diego. I teach fitness there. There is no way to drive without communication with security. I drive up to security officer Jaden, and show her my vendor pass, she looks at it and waves me through. (Check cameras, it will verify) I proceed to park in a designated area, and go to work. 90 minutes later I come back to my parking spot to realize it not there. I go to security thinking my truck was stolen. Security says they towed my truck. They say they don't know why It was towed at first, than they dispatched tow truck who says they towed it because vendor pass was 5 days expired(I work once a week so the last time I worked it was valid) apparently Robert (supervisor) authorized a tow truck to come onto private property to tow my truck. That is contradictory because the very representatives that authorized my access are the same representatives who tow my truck. It's very suspicious, and coincidentally another person had dealt with the same thing, and believed it is a scam where they allow people to access property in order to allow a third party tow company to tow vehicle. That leads me to believe there is a scam going on, as if they are receiving "kick backs" or incentives to find cars to tow. Lastly, it is the person who authorized me onto property who (jaden) should have provided me with a new valid vendor pass. Robert should have communicated to jaden to see why there was an unauthorized vehicle parked premesis( it would have been very easy considering it was only 50m away from check point) instead of checking for blantant security error, the supervisor is lazy and orders for my truck to be towed. To make matters worse, the tow company is close and will be charging me extra for the night. This is unacceptable behavior by your staff and if I'm not riemburseed I will need to take this matter to court.

Thank you for taking the time to solve matter.

Allied Universal / Aus.com account manager

My name is Jasmine Wilkerson and i work for Allied Universal in Charlotte NC at the Spectrum location. My account manager, Lisa Norwood, offered me a higher paying position twice; for the first i wasn't given a start date but the second i was (may 11 2018) and was told to go to the site on my off day to train for my new position. Twice, my account manager gave my position away after offering it to me and dint even give me the courtesy to call me and tell me that it was given to another employee. On another note, she also has mishandled employees hours causing her to mess up our paychecks on several occasions. Every time that i have addressed her about the confusion she gives me an attitude or doesn't respond to my calls or text messages. I've made many verbal complaints to both my site supervisors, Janet Benbow & Victoria Langston and asked for an immediate supervisor or HR contact but they never provided me with any of this information.

Allied Universal / Aus.com employment

This company went into the toilet the minute the Allied Barton/Allied Universal merger occurred.

My region was slapped with a branch manager who was barely qualified to be a service manager simply because he was the Universal guy in the region when Barton already had multiple qualified candidates in region to run the situation.

Universal Services guy then spends 11 months running a fully functional Barton region into the ground, losing several key clients, never shared the contract data for most USA accounts with his Barton "employees" and ran the region hundreds of thousands of dollars in the red every quarter because he had no idea how to even do an AIS much less where to submit one and apparently couldn't be bothered to even follow up with clients about invoices that were months overdue.

Whats more the "employees" of the regional branch constantly had to run around, doing the Branch Manager's job regionally, he quite commonly paid hourly guards overtime to have them run around the region as "Flex Officers" who were doing field supervisory role tasks because the Field Supervisors were too busy working as unpaid Operations Managers and the CVM of the region was too busy trying to keep the entire branch from flying apart.

Whats more, 11 months down the line after finally someone at corporate noticed that an incompetent boob was running our region, their solution to the problem was to eliminate the jobs of the people that had been working the hardest to try to mitigate the damage the branch manager had done, restructure the region, move jobs to other cities and not offer any moving assistance or relocation assistance, basically forcing field supervisors and operations managers into whatever site supervisory role they could find locally, or making them unemployed...corporate then re-arranged the region management team and offered salaries far smaller than the work would have cost them at an hourly rate + overtime, then hired whatever poor suckers were willing to take the offer.

There is zero upward mobility in this company, I went for three years with no raise and ended up getting pushed back in my hourly rate when my job got eliminated.

There is zero chance I will ever be even interested in working for Allied Universal as middle management again until they decide that a 70 hour a week job is worth more than $31, 250 USD. Because thats what they're paying Operations Managers here and when I was doing that job at the office I was making about $52, 000 a year on a hourly rate due to all the ridiculous overtime the job required to do it right.

Steve Jones and the current executive management of this company have zero interest in the quality of life of the operational staff of their regions. And other than PR based attaboy's, they have zero actual interest in their guard staff as well. And while my review of my regional situation seems dire, this situation has been all too common in the last year with Allied Universal and they have largely turned a promising merger into a lifeless horror show of corporate buzzwords, consultants, spending restrictions and other snafus.

Avoid this company like the plague if you have any self respect or expectation of advancement opportunity.

Allied Universal / Aus.com lack of help and interest of helping

Livingston mall security really needs to act proffesional.
I had an incident my mistake i left my shopping bags in a rental stoller and left premises, came back about an hour later and informed security of incident
Asked if they could review cameras to see what happened and maybe i could look for the person who had it. Response was ok i need to talk to the boss first he should be up here soon. OK so i went to mall hallway entrance where security would be coming ... theres 3 officers standing there chatting I asked each one if they were the boss and they called over a man dressed in plain dress down clothes he asked what i needed . I explained what happened the money i just spent and i looked in every stroller even ones that people were using for my bags . Where i left the stroller there is a camera right above it because its a main mall entrance
oo im so sorry that camera isnt workinng i cant help you...
really how convinent that is . i think it was time for him to go home and didnt feel like dealing with it .. So what i really should have done was called the police to make a report and request the camera footage because technically someone took belongings that were not theres and didnt return them . And im sorry it was 150$ worth of KIDS close no less but hey it wasnt there money That they get paid for really in efficiant work . Security is a bunch of children riding there scooters around surely not helping anyone in need so next time just call police when these allied people are in place i wouldve done the job on my own of finding my bags or the thief thats why i was begging to just see that door footage Useless

Allied Universal / Aus.com bullied and harassed by allied security

Location: las vegas blvd x sands
Near the corner of fashion show mall on the strip.
Time: 11:30am - 12:30pm
Date: 11/16/2016 - wednesday

"the bully on duty"

Beware whenever you see her around the strip in lv.

Yelling at someone and calling them a smart #... Is that away to deal with the public?

Then making threats and harassing the public because she feels entitled to bully anyone. You call this woman a public servant?
That's pathetic!

Female armed and possibly dangerous.

This is only a private security guard working for allied barton. This woman does not represent metro pd or a seorn peace officer in anyway.

I'm writing a complaint because earlier today, I was waiting at a bus stop on the strip near the "Fasion Show" mall. The corner of Las Vegas Blvd and Sands.

As I've waited this Security guard approach me and asked to see my pass. Then I asked; what if it's my right not to show you. Then she became violent and called me a smart ###. She threatened that she would call metro pd and have me cited or arrested.

I was harassed and mistreated when she didn't asked all the other people waiting at the stop. I felt like she needed to pick on me particularly. Almost as I was being profiled and used authority to bully me. I honestly don't think this was appropriate in anyway to intimidate me.

Allied Universal / Aus.com doesn't like military

Allied Barton is not military friendly. Alot of military guys at the boeing sight left due to 'conflict of interests'. Also, they will mess up your pay, mess with your schedule and take your money. The training was not good and you don't get paid for that. The background checks are sub-standard and the managers can't really manage any of the sites.

Allied Universal / Aus.com bad treatment

I am a former employe for this company. I was with this company for almost six mounths. I had a lot of over time built up and tried very hard to do a good job. How ever I was terminiated because i had to leave work one night because I tore my uniform. I had called my on site supervisor at explained what happen and that they would have to get someone else to work my shift, because i only had one uniform. I told them i would get a replacement the next day because i worked 3rd shift and all the stores are closed. The site had 2 other guards covering the critical locations and the plant was shutdown for the weekend. They have worked with 2 people before. Any how I left the site ater telling my supervisor. The next day I was terminated for leaving the site. I had just missed one day sense i had started and worked many double shifts. In fact i was one of the few that would even show up in bad winter weather. A year had passed and I tried to see if i could get my job back. Everytime you called the local office you would get a voice mail and no one will call you back. When i did talk to the local recruiter and explained what happen he said he would look into the incident. A week had passed and when I called for a follow up he was extreamly hateful to me and said he could do nothing. NEVER CHOUSE THIS COMPANY GO WITH AN ALTERNET CHOICE.

Allied Universal / Aus.com liar

Allied barton security and william c. whitmore jr. president ~ ceo ~ *liar ~ *traitor ~ *coward a review of outdated methodologies in the private security industry by: raymond banks certified supervisor ~ cpo not an attorney part 2 the role of human resources, as it has been written, explained and proclaimed by countless levels of industry chains of command, is to protect the "rights" of the company, the clients, and then the employees. to enforce this aspect of control and protection, the existing chain of command is tasked with varying levels of responsibilities.in this example, allied barton security llc, which is responsible for enforcing the "rules" and the laws, is guided and directed by the president and ceo: william c. whitmore jr. this man has the responsibility of leading the company, creating new and better methods of working and growing. he is charged with setting the example to his subordinate leaders. they follow his lead. he has shown that he is more than inept in his leadership role with the following proven examples: william whitmore jr. *lied to the thousands of his employees and has broken his written promises, manifested retributions for following his written directions instead of following his true demonstrated behavioral attitudes. whitmore has solicited, made promises for, and demanded loyalty to him and his company, allied barton security llc. when the thousands of employees gave him these loyalties, he *betrayed us. instead of supporting us, he turned his back on us and his support against us. then he tried to destroy us, favoring some of us with false and illegal references, or having others do it for him. then pretending he knew nothing about it and/or that it was "ok" for "him" to do it. he thinks he is above the law, not hardly jr. when I addressed him personally on his actions, he first went to his in-house legal team which would not touch it (and one person will testify to that fact, proving junior knew it was illegal). junior, grasping at straws, then hired lawyers outside the company, instead of the law firm of duane morris on retainer to handle these complaints, and had his "attack attorneys", (david c. hamilton under the direction of marty martenson esq. - attorneys of martenson, hasbrouck & simon llp) in atlanta georgia, send threatening letters, trying to *extort the existing evidence (which was partly successful) with threats of filling false police reports, false prosecution and slandering comments like "you are a thief and a liar". after a brief hesitation to verify legalities I confronted whitmore and his attorneys by standing my ground and comments of "go ahead, I look forward the seeing you in court", the entire group ran for the hills, went into hiding from me, afraid of one individual with "the proof"! I have only one word for their behavior: *cowards! I have already beaten allied barton's entire human recourses department (they tried to buy me off), his in-house legal team, and his "attack attorneys" from georgia with knowledge, facts and evidence. next is the civil court room, which I promise is coming. allied barton security llc (owned by blackstone group) promises confidentiality with no retailiations concerning the reporting of violations of "company" policies and so does the laws of our nation; however, the facts prove this is another lie at the company level. junior's exploits included violations of the privacy act, in my opinion, by giving out my personal information to third parties for personal gain. william c. whitmore jr. has proven he is a liar, a traitor to his employees, a coward, and a person of interest concerning felonious character (under investigation). I know junior's father would be very proud of him now. if you think for a minute that you can trust him or his company to maintain your confidentiality or the secrets of homeland security, I think you are sadly mistaken. junior has proven he betrayed the trusts of his own employees at the drop of a hat for personal gain, and I think he would do the same with knowledge from the department of homeland security. the company and america would be far better off, if he was fired from allied barton security llc and removed from his seat on the private sector senior advisory committee, homeland security private sector consultation board. his uncontrollable behavior does not support the trust required of this position.in closing, allow me to address your mental thought; (I would be thinking it anyway) is this guy for real or is he just crying in his milk? the answer is obvious. if the material I have written in this letter or the first letter were in the least bit false or slanderous, I would have been slammed with a law suit, but I have not heard a word from them. I know they are aware of the letters as I sent a certified copy to each of them. usps verification #'s junior whitmore [protected] martenson law [protected] anyone can verify receipt for each. * as provided by david c. hamilton, attorney at law; (junior's attack attorney ~ thanks!) ref: 1 see u. s. c. $ 875 (d) ("whoever, with intent to extort from any person, firm, association, or corporation, any money or other thing of value, transmits in interstate or foreign commerce any communication containing any threat to injure the property or reputation of the addressee or of other or the reputation of a deceased person or any threat to accuse the addressee or any other person of a crime, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both."). it is coming junior!

I worked for allied barton as well, and was assaulted at work! my ankle was hurt and everyone including their hr director was treading me as if I had a minor spring ankle till I paid out of my pocket to see a specialist and mri to find out my bone was chipped and there are 2 fragments lose in my ligament!
I sent many strong emails to even hr vice president, but no one bothered to take any action. finally for a no good reason I was fired!
Allied barton is the worse company to work for, the only reason they have so many jobs is the clients are too lazy to put time and investigate them! allied barton has many employment issues in the federal and superior court. their staffs are people that have no understanding of humanity; they are a bunch of sleazy, corrupt and 2 faces.
Honey, forget about their inadequate training, or their half decent investigation!
I do not fear them and every single word I say here I have back up for it. I have more respect for [dog poop] than allied barton!

Allied Universal / Aus.com corruption in high places

Firstly a quote from allied barton's website:
"our approach
A recognized leader in continually setting the standard for training and quality."
I was site supervisor over 7 officers for a local client for 3 short years. I got no support from my account manager when allied employed officers decided to become insobordinate with me and when I reported a safety issue I called my account manager and he dint get back with me for over 5 business days.

The issue I had reported was a very serious one involving a violent employee and the account manager did nothing more than exploit the issue in order to get rid of me. Needless to say, I got sandbagged and the employee that I complaint about is still sitting behind the desk.

My personal statement was not even looked at after they called me to the office under the pretense that there was an investigation of the employee in question. As it turned out, it was nothing but a linching of the site supervisor (me) because I had the audacity to complain about a safety issue.

If you work for allied security my advise is not to make friends with any of the officers you work with because sooner or later they will be used by upper management against you if you hold a full time position for more than 5 years with the company.

This has been the issue with many of these outfits that recruit the worse sorts of characters in order to dump like trash after 3 years.

Allied Universal / Aus.com mismanagement

Oh boy! I finally get to vent! let me state outright that I have more years than I care to admit doing this s* job. allied is really no different than any other rent-a-cop company I have worked for in the past 17 years or so (off and on for a total of about 4 years. I tell people, especially in times like these, security will get you by, but be prepared for one the most humbling experiences of your life.). the site I work at is a sheocracy, run by a miserable, vacation at least once a month, vindictive creature from hell. she denied me vacation at least once and a day off at least twice. I have worked their a year and 4 months and for ab for a year and 7 months. now, today, I am being told I don't have enough hours to be paid my vaca time, when they work us like a rented mule, with the "hours" displayed every week. god forbid you haven't put in whatever required, arbitrarily decided, mandatory overtime hours that week. the hours on the schedule would at times demand 55-60 hours from some (I was consistently in the upper third of 40-odd rent-a-cops (rac's), yet this list of 'goldbricks and workhorses' would, every week, would cheat me several hours, even one of the supers (ha) said it didn't make sense.
the nepotism runs thick, natch. the nasty, used-up, vile thing that was the acct. mgr. has since retired (I think the contract with satan expired and he claimed her soul), to be replaced by a charming, generous, thoughtful, "was one of us types". not! lol! she is related to a fat, fat slob that gets 40-45 hours a week, time of whenev, and weekends off. granted the fat loser has been their since moses laid down the smacketh, and she is dating a super and his pappy was second in line their for several years... you see where this is going.
on to the racism! we have a very hated, distrusted black woman that we are forced to work, who has been heard to make racist comments about whites (not around me! I don't play that s*!), who didn't get relieved in time for a break, with a porta potty 30 ft. away, soiled herself and a chair to prove a point! she recently threatened another black female ab employee and went to her grandmothers house to talk s* to her! she has abandoned post and re-posted herself and still no action against her. she is a known snitch, even when you're standing in the same booth with her and a super! why the inaction, you may ask? american race card! don't go to work without it! "I sue you mothers!". I do work with several black coworkers who are truly the salt of the earth and aren't very fond of her, either.
the site I worked at before had a notorius snitch, who pretended to be a "pastor", a man of gooooodd! he'd always drag around his hokey bible and bible study materials. so pious and friendly! asskiss! some word got back to the acct. mgr. (in fact, a lot did, lol!) about some choice things I had said (I am outspoken, shame on me!), and I was a super so that was my bad, but I knew it was this snake that rolled, actually ran to tattle. because he's black and the acct. mgr. was hispanic and "sensitive to minority issues", this "man of god" was hit with four sexual harassment charges in two weeks! nothing. still works there.
I have plenty of horror stories but the bottom line is this; security is a stepping stone when times are bad! if you didn't see how lame security is in the first 6 months of doing it (and i'm being generous!), shame on you! really! like the legend of the indian woman that rescues a frozen snake. she nursed it back to health and in doing so, got bit for her troubles. she asks, "snake, I healed you, I fed you, I saved you! how could you do this?!". the snake replied calmly, "look #, you knew I was a snake...", and proceed to slither away, just like ab will, eventually! get out while you can, of security that is.
btw, the "creature" used a common cute acct. mgr. trick always! she would deny people vaca or to sell the vaca back to further feather her nest, while trotting off to hawaii once a month. hey, rhip's. if you are stuck, I wish you the best of luck, sincerely. but get out asap!

Allied Universal / Aus.com wrongful termination and employee rights violations

I worked for Allied Barton in the Jack's Pacific warehouse with the Allied Barton El Monte Office. I was let go and told to be transferred to another location because the supervisor in the Jack's Pacific account complained against me. This so called Supervisor came late almost on a daily basis, she was even late for 2 hours and she did not even make up the time and did not report her tardiness to the office and I did not get paid. I finally got tired of the abuse that security companies give to their employee's and I'm proud to say that I no longer work in security. Also Allied Barton makes p rules as they go. I also worked in an account where a person was attacked and in that area was a security company taking care of the situation. The next day I was told to make a report and to notify Allied Barton for what had occurred. I told them that I was not a witness and was also not in my location to perform security. The reason they did this was to steal an account from the other security company. Is just better to be even a janitor at a hospital than to be a security guard. I no longer have respect for these companies because they make money abusing and cheating off their employee's.

I am currently working for them here in the midwest and recent event has sprung up that has opened my eyes wide to just how low they will sink. A woman with a long list of infractions made some accusations against our, my boss. They were lies, all made up but AB did nothing to support my boss and she still is not officially terminated... the client had to take the first step in removing her. They balked at that too... They had the gall to say my boss was to stay out it, (against the law by the way).
They acted as though he was the villain. he is suing them right now. It's really pathetic how the corporate office handled this. Such fools and ###s from the top on down. I am ready to leave the place as its become apparent they do not care who they ### on.

Allied Universal / Aus.com unfair treatment by supervisors and manangement

I am a former employee of Allied Barton Security Services.I was forced to quit by a very violent and unstable supervisor.In the 90 days I worked for this company I was verbally harassed by the supervisor.My check never came on time.I was treated like a knowbody, and did not get to finish my online courses.In this situation the client I believe is in danger of a workplace violence situation.the supervisor is very unstable, and be subjected to a mental evealuation. The job has went to his head.I have been in the security industry for 20 years.every security service I worked for has done me wrong at one time, but I think if the federal government got wind of all these complaints they would take control of all security services, and how they are operated and how people are being treated.We need to start a petition to allow the federal government to take over these companies, and operate them in a respectable and lawful manner.1000 signatures on the petition would get the government to see all the complaints, and investigate each one and put an end to job harrassment, and possble workplace violence situations.We as security officers need not give up the fight.we must strive to protect ourselves and other officers from upper management violations, and mentally unstable superviors.Security needs to revert back to when they originated when alan pinkerton and william J Burns had it.We have rights under the constitution of the united states of america, and the bill of rights. Our rights are in danger.We need to act now by starting a petition, and let our federal goverment regulate private security services union and non union

Allied Universal / Aus.com wrongfull termination

I was hired to work in my home town in NH with rotating weekends, but I had to work for a couple of months in Lexington, Ma, a 30 mile drive, to train. I ended up working every weekend for 6 months before finally getting Sunday's off and I never stepped foot in the NH office. I was driving 60 miles a day! I heard more lies from that company than I do from my own kids! When my new born daughter was sick and needed to go to the doctor, my boss wouldn't let me have the day off because I hadn't been with the company for a year. He told me after a year I could make special requests. When my grandfather died, I asked to have the day off for the funeral and was denied! He wouldn't even let me go home early when I found out my grandfather was dying. Luckily, I found the hand book and told him that it was my right to have 3 unpaid days off and I was taking one. The last straw was one day when my cell phone rang. It was my wife, who was home with my baby daughter. I picked up to see if it was an emergency, then told her I'd call her back when I went to lunch. My boss saw me and started talking down to me and was being disrespectful. I explained the cituation to him, but he ignored me. He came back an hour later and gave me a write up... in front of 15 people in a main lobby desk location! When he gave me my copy (yes my personal copy) I riped it in half, put it in the trash, and told him that I didn't like the way I was being treated and I told him that I did not agree with the write up. All he could do was look at the floor and say "um sorry you feel that way." I reported him for harassment to the account manager and stated that I did not agree with the write up. An hour later I was sent home. Later that night I got a call saying I was suspended. I called them every day for a week and got passed around between different managers and HR reps. Finally I was told that they would call me at the end of week two. I got a call saying I was fired for destroying company property. I was like what? The next day I called them to complain and he said "oh well you were also insubordinate, sorry and good luck." Now they are trying to keep me from getting unemployment and I"m looking for a lawyer. My two friends got fired from there and are on umemployment.

Allied Universal / Aus.com mistreated employee

My contract location was at BSH Home Appliances, New Bern, NC 28562. I was a security office and Receptionist.

We had a problem with the mail machine and postal carrier. The rates changed but we were a comp base rate. Ms. Upson of BSH had Pitney Bowes take the maching to post office to make sure our postage rate was correct.

The mail carrier Tracy got very upset with me, why? I don't have any idea. When I reported her actions to my boss Mr. George Reese of Allied Barton Security would responde back to me that I was causing Drama and it had to stop.

I was there answering the phones and someone called from the post office stating they had a complaint. So I transferred the call to Ms. Upson who was in charge of the mail room. She came out and told me that Tracy the carrier made a complaint that my mail was never ready and she had to wait. This was not true and they have videos on the entire building and could easily see this.

Then Saturday at the Main Gate I worked with Charles and the mail lady came in flying by and turned around very fast. I told her she would need to slow down, and we had a speed limit sign posted. She started yelling at me, then I was holding the door for her to bring in the mail, she pushed through and slammed the mail box on my toes, don't really know if that was her intention. She then told me she was going to have me fired buy calling in again. I ask her what did I do to you to make you feel so hateful to me, she would not answer. Just kept saying she would have my job.

So again, I reported this actions to my boss Mr. Reese and Mr. Tucker (Plant Manager) and wrote up an incedient report.

The next Wednesday when I retuned to work, I had yet another Email from George Reese stating that this had to stop and they had never had anyone have problems with the mail carrier up front before. Stated that he would remove me from my job, if I had one more problem.

I had been to the Post Master General in New Bern, Mr. Davis and he assured me she would be taken off that route. But she would have found a way to get another complant on me not matter what.

So I wrote back as stated in our manual that we were to give notice of resignation, which was for 2 weeks.

I retuned to work on Thursday, and I was told I was no longer allowed on the premise and was terminated.

They required you to be on your job 15 minutes prior to work but you had to work setting up. So I was always 30 to 45 minutes early for work. I worked anytime they needed for anyone, even in the snow and sleet weather.

I had so many people at BSH tell me that I was doing a wonderful job all the employees like me, I greeted everyone professionally and made them smile and motivated.

BSH Home Appliances head of Security is Ronnie Weems, AL Jones. These two men would cuss and say the most vulgar things and then apologize, there was sexual harrassment they would not take care of.

Ronnie Weems daughter worked P/T Reception as well, and they even gave her a washer and dryer on demo. Which I thought this was not permitted.

He never liked me and wanted me gone from the very beginning. I have no idea of what I even did to him, other than being a professional at my job and his daughter took a different approach.

I have spoked to NC Labor, Work Force, Unemployment Commission and Lawyer and my intentions are to make sure this doesn't happen to others. This kind of employer and employee realtions are not legal and need to be stopped.

Thank you,
Deborah Goldman

Allied barton was the absolute worst company i've ever worked for. actually they adopted the policies of corporate america, no paid sick days, and if you took a sick day you better have a doctors note or you're terminated! I was hospitalized for pneumonia and almost was. no paid holidays, little vacation. no respect, employees are treated like non-humans. when I e-mailed my supervisor, jim kyman that I was resigning my position I was called to his office within 30 min. and fired! this company is pure garbage!

It doesn't sound like you have any kind of case. You are just complaining. Before you go posting on a ntional forum again, maybe you should go back to school to learn some grammar.
