Not the company that you want to work for. They don’t care about you.
100% FACT.
That’s all security companies. They all share the same policy of observer and report. It’s just a show of force and a complete waste of money. Girl supervisor immediately loses her composure because that’s what girls do.
@@HWG-wm8ld It was not that way at all in the 20th century. Security would go after you, use violent force to subdue you, handcuffed you, place you under a citizen's arrest, take your identification , record it, take your photo then release you to police custody with all your information and offenses you committed on the property.
My guy needs to sue them immediately
No companies in the usa care about people
Crime appears down because the cops ignore your reports.
exactly
they would have fired him if any of those cars were damaged or broken into. He got hit in the face a couple of times no workman's comp either.
That's why they didn't want to send the Police officer out the first time. No Police, no report and crime statistic show that crime is down!
The cops don't ignore it they don't have people to send because Democrats defunded their Police department
100% FACT.
He did the right thing by quitting that job, that supervisor is nuts !
Oh snap! Looks like crappy supervisors and bosses are another reason for homelessness!
@@steelionx9255what you said doesn’t even make sense.
Rent a cop is nuts, his only job is to observe and report. Now he's a liability no other security company will hire him now
Profit over people
I would sue that company if I was him.
dude literally did his job and got fired. whats the point of security if you wont allow mans to do his job. wow.
Happened to me. I know this topic too well. I WALKED OFF THE JOB.
He walked. His job is to do nothing and call police. I agree with what he did, but all security is just a false sense of security.
@@HWG-wm8ld You'll be the first jumping up screaming and hollering for security when your stuff at work being looted.
@@Khultan Even if HWG did.. the point made still stands.
@@alexrekzu4079 😂 😂 I know you just don't really understand at all.
Boycott priebe security company. Can someone give that man a job.
Boycott Priebe "do nothing" security!!! Waste of money!1
His boss doesn't realize that this is bad press coverage for that company, because it tells you that they don't care about their employees, and nor do they do a good job of securing sites that they are working at
I’ve worked for three companies in four years(same location that keeps trying different companies thinking their upper management will make the guards work, the guards keep their job and change uniforms). It’s a good job for students and retirees like myself, but that’s it. I’ve never worked with such lazy employees and we are all prior military to be armed.
Send this to Dana White he will hire him for sure.
@@ChrisZ70"level one" security lol..... There are NO levels of security, I know because I was one... Your whole statement was B.S.
That lady made that company look SO BAD.
I.e. ...
Why did they blur her face? It wouldn't be difficult to find out who she is
@@masonite1973 To protect her identity from crazy people
Because they are
She's probably a mole.
Man doing his job , gets screwed , new america , the manager should be fired.
New America?? 🤦♂️😂😂 how dumb can you be
His job was to observe and report
Security guards are nothing but "witnesses" and have no more right to detain someone leaving the premises than any other civilian has. That is the core of this issue which many people do not understand.
Typical Đem-run cr@ph0le city. Especially Austin, which has been completely infiltrated, for years.
@@noblesavage8332so he should have just observed them stealing his car?
This is why to hell with Un-armed security jobs.
100% in agreement.
@@GTGibbs Yall arnt very smart. He got fired for doing interviews in uniform. Not bc of what happened
his boss is mean, she should be fired, unprofessional having that conversation with the press there. that looked bad.
Girls go off of emotions and is a big reason they should not be guards, cops or military unless in staff positions.
Karen wyt women love being controlling. Facts.
That was a Maria @@XxxclusiveReviews
That's what a lifetime of making yourself small for a small paycheck looks like.
She sounds like a backwoods hick
Are you serious, did she really blame him for what happened
😂😂 she’s definitely getting fired
Depends on the corruption, Jay.
She fat, YT, and LGTBQ+, she's not getting fired.. Austin is too liberal to do something so radical.. smdh

@@JayJay-he9bk Bad publicity. She's got to go.
That company is trash I love the security guard laws in Texas but that supervisor and company are trash
It’s industry standard.
What's the company
If his boss was attacked, she would have expected him to defend her.🙄
Shows the level of corruption from the company and...
Yeah, that is how security companies treat their employees!
And I’m sure they are paying that Security company to respond to those issues and not to just sit there and and write down how many vehicles was stolen are damaged! They can get that information free instead of paying a security company to not respond!!
And what?
@@user-tc9ws8ph6iexactly it’s literally his job to stop cars from being stolen and the supervisor just got on the new and confirmed the guy who replaces him would be allowed to stop them.
@user-tc9ws8ph6i actually there job is that - observe and report, do not touch anyone unless it's life death situation.
fire the supervisor
And make him her replacement

Lawsuit
🐟@@JohnJMacai786🙌🏽🙌🏽
Fire the company.
this man needs a job.
Could be difficult until this blows over. These companies do not want these heart beat in a seat guards to take action due to liability. It’s a high turnover job, so eventually he will get picked up. It’s a job for students and old retirees like myself, not a career. Low pay and zero benefits.
@HWG-wm8ld Who wants to hire college kids in there 20s lol this man looks to be full grown in his 40s he can find a job maybe not in security
Dana White will hire him!
It's Austin. They'll just put an illegal immigrant in his position. Trump is right with the illegals taking black folks jobs. That is definitely not a lie!!
That's why a gun has to be part of your personal gear.
That don't count I was officer and got got me whn I was defending my life and brother law don't like u
Actually in the state of Texas if you work unarmed security and your caught with the firearm on your person while in uniform you can get in serious trouble with the department of public safety because of the fact that you were not licensed as a armed security officer and in some cases depending on the severity of the issue can have your security license completely revoked and banned.
That’s not a good security company
A gun is not and cannot be part of your uniform for unarmed security guards. That’s why they don’t get paid much!
Always conceal carry!
His boss is a B and hes totally in the right to defend his own property by force even if his job says observe and report. Why have guards who arnt armed
But even if it wasn’t his car. It’s a parking garage if he was trying to stop them from stealing a paying customers vehicle that’s like what he’s hired for I don’t understand how he was wrong for doing his job by trying to keep car thieves out of the parking garage
Defending his own ended when they started to leave. Issue was that he then went after them and tried to physically detain one of them. That goes against most security companies' policies of employee conduct.
@@henrywilson8920What is the point of having security if people are allowed to just go right by security personnel. Try doing that in an airport.
Yall arnt very smart. He got fired for doing interviews in uniform. Not bc of what happened
This is a total outrage
The citizens chose to defund. Now they can enjoy it.
@@cakesaregood5176you do realize defunding the police means putting the money in other areas so the police do have to go out on unnecessary calls right? As in instead of the police going to mental health calls they open more mental health centers, instead of the police having to do more traffic stops they put up traffic more traffic cameras in certain areas so the police can actually do police work like getting real criminals off the streets instead of pulling ppl over for speed
Yep, now bm sees how it is
Yall arnt very smart. He got fired for doing interviews in uniform. Not bc of what happened
That boss needs to be fired.
He has the patience of a saint. I would have been livid.
He was, but the world is watching. Him showing aggression would have been his fault too per the bum supervisor
@Laniece4u2 no he wasn't aggressive because our experiences are, whenever an pale person argues with you, patronize, belittle, talk sht and YOU RESPOND with that same energy..? Your aggressive and will probably be arrested when they call and weaponize the police against you. Happens ALL DAY, EVERY DAY. we're coerced to always practice patience.
@@PinkSteel4real exactly! We know what it is, smh
The lady is a real piece of work. He did exactly what you would expect a security guard to do in that situation. People need to know she's okay with random people going into the parking garage and messing with your belongings. 😒
Yall arnt very smart. He got fired for doing interviews in uniform. Not bc of what happened
He needs a good lawyer that supervisors representation of the company is sorry. She showed out in front of the same cameras that she claimed he shouldn't talk to because it is a violation to do it while in uniform. Im guessing she is out of uniform and not all in her feelings. She accused the victim of bringing it on himself. Her company needs suing if they support that madnesss.
That woman supervisor needs to be fired and that security guard needs to be reinstated. It’s disgraceful how this was handled. Regarding the police, this guy was assaulted, for them to refuse to send someone there is outrageous. I hope they catch those migrants. What a mess.
Austin has become another sewer hole California style.
Thank the "Vote Blue" Dims
@@What.The.Fluff. Trump is an actual felon.
stop talking about California!!! Its hard enough trying to survive in this illegal immigrant run down doo doo hole state
Democrats made it that way though and continue advocate for it. It's disgusting. Vote Trump and see how things start to turn around. It will guys. Trump 2024.
I wouldn’t trust that woman to watch a box of doughnuts let alone a building.
APD dispatch is horrible.
I probably would have quit just like he did but the smart move is to let them fire you and then you can sue $$$$$
No, u can still sue.
especially since the supervisor gave the company policy and her own opinion all in the same sentence.
I ran a business for 32 years and was never successfully sued. Everyone always says sue, sue. Texas is an employ at will state, employers can fire you anytime for any reason just like you can quit anytime you want. There are a few exceptions as far as some specific discrimination protections but generally employers can let you go without even giving a reason if they want. If they fire you your recourse is to file for unemployment until you find a new job. I would have quit too because I would not work for someone either an attitude like hers but it’s not a lawsuit.
@@fastdude2002 "anytime for any reason" lol ok grandpa.. we'll just pretend like wrongful termination lawsuits never happen.

Austin use to be a safe place to live before certain people started moving in. Recall Watson and vote these democrats out of office.
The southwest has been overrun with illegals.
Been like this for last 20 plus years. Only way of being safe is not make yourself look like a target.
Lmao since Austin was created it's been dangerous my boi
Texas turned into a hole after Republicans were voted in. Back when democrats ran the state, Ann Richards, it was a lot safer.
@@cdawgforeal372I mean technically all of Texas and the rest of the United States was just absolutely wild until around the late 70’s 😂 But yeah fk the democrats, in the last 2 weeks I’ve seen 4 homeless people high as giraffe nuts take massive dumps on the sidewalk and or start pleasuring themselves in front of multiple children… oh and the crime is insane as well now 😂 thank the California democrats for moving here and out voting the locals…
I worked at that building for a day. I worked for Priebe for 3 months and quickly realized they lied through their teeth about “treating their officers with the most respect” POS is what management there is.
Since Mr. Payne was too nice to say her name, it’s Kim. An older heavy set blonde lady with long hair. She should be ashamed of herself, and the public should know who she is so that we can all shame her.
The first rule of being a supervisor in a job like this: backup your employees! She was disrespectful, unprofessional, and downright wrong.
This is why it’s so hard being a good security officer. We’re underpaid for the danger we face, and completely ignored when we need help.
The turnover rate for security is so high because no one feels respected doing what we do. I’ve worked for multiple security companies over the years, and they’re all the same.
It sucks! I love doing security, I love helping people, but I don’t want the responsibility of having to jail people, that’s why I’m not a cop. We need more professional companies who understand that we’re not just numbers in a system, we’re real human beings with families.
@@ChrisZ70 go ahead
@@ChrisZ70 How so?
@@ChrisZ70 you're the only person speaking sense in these comments.
@@ChrisZ70ok so go on to fcking explain how great working security is then if she's so wrong then tell us how wrong she is and how the security company was exemplary? Plz enlighten us...
@@ChrisZ70 >He violated the policy of all security companies by speaking on camera in uniform and while on duty.
What? All the companies? They're all not the same you know.
Stop working for that security company it BAD!
He should not have quit, and let them fire him, then got an attorney. He can still do this, especially after what his supervisor did and said.
What a POS supervisor! I hope she gets fired.
It's all on video
God handled it. He has a new job now.
Once she told him to take his uniform off, he was fired!
@moniquewrites9046 really?! That's awesome, but I haven't heard anything about this yet. I'm here in the same town where he lives too.
YOUR boss will throw you underneath the table in a minute. YET you will lose your job if you fail to help a police officer. Its the most messed up job to have. They expect you to act like a police officer when your not and you do not get paid like one or have their safety net.
Companies like that should go out of business.. They should get sued.
Wow... keep paying taxes..
With this logic then an attempted murder is no longer a crime since nobody died?
Levels of crime...
Murder > theft
Hopefully leadership in that company shows his supervisor the door and brings him back onboard.
Austin used to be such a nice place 😣
Until the ghetto started moving here from Cali and Atlanta and other democrat cities
If I ran Priebi Security I would rather have this guy as an employee than this lady.
This is beyond maddening that poor man
Don't chase. Don't try to detain if they retreat, especially if you are outnumbered. Had one of the perps been injured, the cops would go after the guard.
His job isn't paying enough for the disrespect of that old lady
I've been in security for awhile, basically, the guard services don't want to be liable, if you get hurt.
It's best that this man finds another company to work for. And a caring one at that.
There are no security, only watchers.
I got robbed at gunpoint about a month ago at work the place I worked at didn't even ask if I was okay and the cops didn't even really ask for a description they just came and left
Dam got to protect yourself don't expect the company to do it or even care.
He needs to get himself a lawyer, to confront his boss in this company
Mr. Payne, hire a good attorney and sue through the EEOC. Your former employer needs to pay for their gross negligence regarding your safety.
Assault not identified as crime in the city of Austin...
That's crazy right!!! You got film and they were on those city scooters. Aren't those things tracked and they can tell who rented it?
Dumb “supervisor “ should be let go!!!
As an unarmed security guard, you are typically asked to be a visible presence and to observe and report. I wouldnt recommend trying to detain two individuals in that situation. I'm not surprised the security company blames him for what occured.
Who in their right mind would blame the victim for being assaulted Hum an idiot. That security lady should be fired because if that had been a woman accidentally walked up on the car thief’s it could’ve been worse but she focused on her worker doing what a security guard supposed to do not just show up and collect a check and look away from the reason he was there “TO STOP SHIT FROM HAPPENING”
damn Edgars are running wild in downtown Austin lmao
Your safety is not the concern of your company. US 2024.
This poor victim got ambushed by the thieves and than? He got also ambushed by a Karen colleague on the news network. LOL OMG 😮😐😂🤷♂️
God wants better for you brother, keep watching out for yourself, no job is worth your life, unless you sign up to be a first responder and that's part of your Job, which city police seem to ignore!
Working in security is very tough. Union representation is needed for the guards.
100 % true..they are in San Francisco CA.
If they had a gun, he would be dead! SMDH!
That supervisor yelling at you is against the law. Lawyer up buddy. She just made you a lot of money. A supervisor is always supposed to handle themselves professionally. Not let their emotions take control. She clearly let her emotions override her professionalism.
Unfortunately its not against the law what the supervisor did. Austin TX is an at-will employment as well. Unfortunately, what she did is not a crime. It just made her and the company look horrible is all.
Wow that “Supervisor” should be ashamed of herself…
Security company and supervisor are garbage, the gentleman that quit however is a gem.
Unfortunately this is extremely common for us security always the company throws the blame on the security guard and they never mostly back you up
Right, but the moment the company is losing money, they start blaming their security guards
Don’t kill yourself over a job that will replace you in a day!!
That supervisor needs to be fired!!!!
The security officer was attacked by 2 criminals who tried to steal his car !!!!
Outrageous!!!!
Why is red Texas and the supposed red governor not putting an end to this?
Austin is blue.
Sadly I have to agree with his supervisor if he was an unarmed security officer regardless if it was his personal property or not his job was to observe and report not to chase them down not to detain them until law enforcement could be called. He should have simply documented all evidence made a copy of the video evidence and submitted everything over to law enforcement at that time but by pursuing an attempting to detain he actually broke the law. He had no legal authority to attempt to detain them. Before anyone can question my knowledge I have done this job for 26 years and know the do's and don'ts of security better than most people that have no affiliation with security at all, I might also add that I work as an armed supervisor so yes I most definitely know the laws and regulations regarding armed and unarmed security.
Yeah as a Security Account Manager I agree, it's a unfortunate situation, but a Security Officer only job is to Observe and Report! Anything else outside of that is against the law, no matter if your personal property is being broken into or being stolen. I've would have been pissed off, but I'll have to stick to the policy, do my job and let it play out!
Thumbs up bc u give a interesting perspective. Which very well may b n accordance w/ the law and employee conduct policies. I kno, personally it would have been extremely difficult for me to fight off the urge to not make contact w/ sus.
So if you don't actually secure anything, why bother paying you? I can set up webcams to do your job for free.
Let the loud mouth supervisor put his uniform on and do the job if it thinks it's So easy, She is the one that Needs Fired.
This is the new normal in america. Good luck
I will be looking for a new job immediately if I was this security guard
The security guard was that company’s best spokesperson and his supervisor was the company’s worst.
That supervisor should be fired. This is also yet another example of how APD is such a failure. There's ongoing car break-ins literally everywhere around Austin namely Barton Creek/Springs costing individuals upwards of thousands of dollars in repairs, stolen items, and time.
F%#k that that job
Things are only going to get worse in the country.
What I’m afraid of is that we the people are are going to turn to mob justice if this lack of accountability persists, which is never a good thing.
This is the new f----d world we live in where decades ago this man would be promoted or at least appreciated not fired and ignored. Somebody hire this man.
That's ridiculous. shame on that Priebe Security supervisor. I hope Percy finds a new and better job soon!
Liberal policies. Just keep on voting BLUE.
Leftist policies. The Liberal party believes in personal freedom!
The man quit his job. Once he gave the uniform back, all she had to do was STFU and leave, instead of running her mouth into a potential lawsuit for the company.
EEOC is going to love that video of the supervisor blaming him.
GoFundMe Coming soon! 😂🤣😂🤣
Wow his boss was sad
I worked unarmed contract security for 10 years and this is how all security companies treat their employees. Everything is always your fault no matter what you do or don't do. It's a horrible industry and upper management were always those ones who so desperately wanted to be cops but could never pass the academy.
"Tell a lie often enough, it becomes the truth”
The security guard just learned a valuable life lesson... "Liberal Justice" is for the criminal and not the good law abiding citizens. FJB
He was attacked by 2 men? Dam, I was attacked by 7 men. Hmmm, I must've done something wrong. 😮
You're just wrong, that's all
This is what 🤡 world looks like. Man did his job and gets 💩 on by supervisor. They should've given him a raise and made him the superior!
Percy is a gentleman. Hope he picks up a better company. He maintained his composure and was respectful to the supervisor - not sure I would have done as well.
Oh well, keep voting Democrat
Russian Troll KKK Neo Nazi says what?
i agree with him. just shows you how racist that company is and also the first operator are let alone the city of austin with the safety of black people. if that was a white security or hispanic security guard the situation would be handled differently. i hope that guy gets justice i dont agree also with the lady supervisor saying its his fault.
If he were yt he would have been treated worse. Probably fired on the spot. Either way it’s horrible I hope he sues the company and gets a nice payout.
@@FalconPunch1978 i dont work security and i doubt that because i never got faded from a mexicn lmao.
Boomer supervisor is part of why crime is rampant. Dude literally gets paid to secure the garage, he does his job, and she wants him fired lol. What a joke.
That supervisor is wild, and the fact that she said "very bit of it is your fault" is enough right there for me to quit on the spot. Someone in Austin help this man get a job.
Smells like.... A LAWSUIT
Percy has alot of heart, hope he gets a better job. That company he worked for sucks...
He got fired for making the security company look bad. Get a new job dude, they wont back you up.
Being an armed security guard would have prevented this. As an armed guard If I stop a crime in progress, I've done my job. Then I act as a good witness & help the police make the arrest. In this case the guard did what he thought was best, which he has a right to do. The police epic fail. Security agency epic fail.
They’re going to blame him because he didn’t observe and report. Being at work doesn’t mean you can’t protect your own property though. And the police are chumps for not responding.
she expected you to do what she would have done, which was nothing. she wanted you to sit at your ass and just watch them take stuff.
