Berty100 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 I bet the main reason that so many resigned was that the new rules stated that they couldn't sleep on the job, and had to be mentally stable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancin Dna 11 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 We have 2 guards at our moo ban, so we are at least guaranteed to have one person asleep in the guard house twenty-four-seven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baboon Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Paid to sleep and do as little as possible. Like the Soi dogs, all I see is them do is eat and sleep.....security 555555555. To be fair, if your hourly pay would not even buy you as much as a small can of beer, I very much doubt diligence and enthusiasm for the job would be in the forefront of your mind...

stevemac Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 God forbid they start applying similar rules on TV posters 55555. That will be my daily light entertainment out of the window lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winniedapu Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 "A law that regulates the security guards sector and it took effect in March this year has dealt a severe blow on the industry with many operators complaining that about 40 percent of their guards had resigned as they didn't meet the required qualifications stated by the law." Another SNAFU... Winnie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gyrosman Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 You can not train loyalty to the companies building or housing areas were they sleep and let friends enter area's. TWC always will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khon Kaen Dave Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 I suppose they make a few baht on the side by telling their thieving mates when one of the houses is vacant due to the owners/tenants are on holiday.Or telling what sort of safe they have.Or turning a blind eye to strangers that have somehow got into the complex.If i lived on one these housing estates,i would never let a 'security guard' anywhere inside my place. Maybe if they were paid enough to be honest and actually take a pride in their job,things might be different.Still,having seen some of these 'guards',it proves that if you give him a whistle,he goes through a personality change of self importance.Give a guard a whistle and he never stops blowing the f#####g thing.

Living and working in the centre of Bangkok, i cannot remember the last time i have seen a secuirty guard blowing his whistle- even less so in a Condo or housing project.

A few year's accumulated wisdom: Never give a Thai a microphone. Never give a Thai a title with the word 'manager' in it. Never give a Thai 'security guard' a uniform. Never give a Thai 'security guard' a whistle (as you say). Never give a Thai 'security guard' one of those red flashing stick things. Never give a Thai 'security guard' a promotion.

Jonmarleesco Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 '... Mr Narongrit Ornmanee, said the stringent qualifications had forced about 40% of his guards, mostly hilltribe people, to resign.' Well, one has to wonder just what training he gave to his hilltribe guards? Certainly, power is not the only thing many are short of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little mary sunshine Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 (edited) If the security officers were professional, competent With their duties, they would be paid considerably More money. Unskilled men/boys eating and sleeping Don't deserve more than the price of a can of soda Per hour. They sit with their phones playing games And are upset they have to raise the gate at our Village....We should pay them more?? Never!!

scorecard Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 '... Mr Narongrit Ornmanee, said the stringent qualifications had forced about 40% of his guards, mostly hilltribe people, to resign.' Well, one has to wonder just what training he gave to his hilltribe guards? Certainly, power is not the only thing many are short of. I see another angle. Security guards are employed to protect property and lives, but most have never had any training at all, don't know the law, don't know who to contact if there is a problem and we pay them a pittance and expect them to be committed. Seems to me it's all out of balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
