Delivery Driver Turned Night Guard Fired for Sleeping on the Job, Throws Items at Supervisor in Rage

An outrageous labor dispute occurred in a commercial building in Sanchong District, New Taipei City. A male security guard, who transitioned from being a delivery driver, started his night shift on October 5th but was accused of repeatedly turning off the lights and sleeping during his duty hours. The building's general manager stated that the security guard appeared normal during the interview, but after starting work, he not only became addicted to his phone but also directly expressed 'I don't want to patrol,' and asked if he could sleep and use his phone. On his second day of work, he directly inquired with his supervisor about the feasibility of sleeping on the job, essentially treating the guardhouse as a free hotel. On the night shifts of October 6th and 7th, the security guard slept with the lights off while on duty. As the security guard's responsibility is to protect the building's safety, management was concerned about the impact on the safety of residents and tenant companies, and decided to inform him of his unsuitability. To their surprise, upon learning of his dismissal, the security guard lost emotional control on the spot, yelled at his supervisor, threw items at people, and accused the company of malicious termination, causing a disturbance in the guardhouse for over an hour. Police were notified and arrived to maintain order, asking both parties to calm down. They explained to the security guard that if the company decided to dismiss him, he could not forcibly remain on the premises, as it could constitute trespassing. The security guard eventually expressed understanding. The company immediately paid him his wages for the three days, at a rate of NT$1800 per day. The operator lamented that recruiting security personnel is already difficult, and after finally finding a new hire, they encountered a situation where 'the person is at their post, but their mind has already entered dreamland.' Considering that building safety cannot be neglected, they had no choice but to reluctantly dismiss him. They hired you to work, but you don't want to do what you're supposed to, and you sleep with the lights off? Getting fired is your own fault, and you still have the nerve to lose control 🙄 Sleeping for 3 days and still getting paid, must be nice 🙄
