BREAKING NEWS
In one of the most insane concepts yet, Safeguard Properties (SGP) has launched a Dress Code Requirement. I am at a loss so I am just going to print it word for word. The only think I can think of is that SGP wants to make sure that Contractors become employees. They want to make damn sure that ONLY your Company is on the line. Your Name, Your Business Cards, Your Liability. Not that the Family Business, as Amir Jaffa likes to call it, gives two shits, but who funds this?
I noticed right away that the Klein Dynasty does not support Orthodox Religion here. Pants are not allowed to be worn by any Orthodox Jewish, Christian or Islamic Communities. That might be an issue. Ah, perhaps not. Get the proper halachic ruling and it’s all good. I always did wonder how work could be demanded by one Orthodox segment upon another during the Sabbath so go figure.
Typical hypocrisy. Who the hell are these folks to force Employee Regulations? No, this smells of religious dogma to me. I call it like I see it. I really, REALLY love the communications segment. Does that have to be in ENGLISH?! No sweatshirts, huh? Yeah, sports shirts in ten BELOW ZERO! Safeguard Properties paying the cleaning bill on our trucks and trailers? And what is extreme? If I have an anti Israel T Shirt is that extreme? Make NO MISTAKE I am not supportive of the BILLIONS and BILLIONS of dollars funneled in Foreign Aid when our own people are starving in the streets here! No, you will not take my Soul.
THIS IS THE SLIPPERY SLOPE I PREDICTED! CONTRACTORS LAID DOWN AND NOW THEY ARE GOING TO GET SCREWED! STARTED WITH PHONE APPS, THEN BACKGROUND CHECKS, NOW CLOTHING AND VEHICLES. NEXT THING THEY WILL WANT IS SWEARING AN OATH TO THEM.
To make sure we are all on the same page, we are going to assist SGP in pointing out those not in compliance and we have PLENTY here in East Tennessee. Just stepping up to the plate there Rob. I mean when I went over the photos of Robert Klein in the Safeguard Properties Facebook Group he struck me as a guy off the meds for a bit; I am not a doctor, but would LOVE to play one on TV. What I am driving at is the hat and beard were all in disarray not to mention his entire look. The confused look while on the porch really stuck out. So, I guess I am at a loss.
We will follow up on this tonight; I just wanted to get it out immediately!

In many communities, neighbors vigilantly watch vacant properties. Remember, you are representing Safeguard and our clients as well.
