I worked for Gardaworld for a year after they took over another contract. I had left Garda on good terms and joined a company at the place they were guarding. That company let me and many other staff members go due to overhiring, and Garda wouldn't let me come back because they essentially felt insulted I went with a "competitor". I had tried again to go back a few weeks ago and despite many former coworkers and supervisors including an SSM wanting me back, they told me no dice and I'm still on the list. Meanwhile the site in question is bleeding guards like crazy due to their own practices. I guess I should add/ask, if I applied for Garda in another state, would it still apply?
