We have a security guard at work who just started about a month ago.

It looks like you’re already concluding how to proceed and it is a good decision. I was a security officer. I lasted 8 months because it was extremely boring. I wish it was something I thought of doing after college, graduating in a recession. It seems to be a decent way for a person with little education to make stable income while others scrounge for jobs in fields they got degrees for. The job is to observe and report but, it’s often construed as more than that to the public. I would get a call from someone about a homeless person trespassing and harassing others. When I attempted to de-escalate and escort the person off the premises another worker complained about me to higher ups. I’d rather have not gotten the call in the first place. Nothing I could do in that situation could be considered RIGHT. At the same time I found a part time job where I was utilizing skills I was passionate about and decided not to waste time doing security work. This security guard, like all, doesn’t work directly for the company. You are not as clear on what his duties are as you think. It’s better to keep a hands off approach.

Thank you for your comments. After considering them and my own personal experience, I have decided to keep quiet to top brass and just let him know when I have a problem on a personal level with him (such as the heavy breathing behind me - I’ll have to figure out maybe a light-hearted way to approach that). Thank you again for your input, everyone.
