So I was approached by someone at American Heritage to Be the lead Supervisor for the New Metra detail that starts soon and on Sunday I was called by the office manager Kevin which confirmed that. Now its Tuesday and I received a text from Kevin saying basically my bad we decided to go with someone else as the lead and you can work on a station. Ive put my name on the line to get more people to work for them but this unprofessional work environment has caused me to pull all my guys away from this Bogus company I've been doing off duty Security for 20 years and never seen some turncoat stuff like this before if you are looking for a Security home with drama it's here.
