Breaking news in the security industry! Security guard Percy Payne shocked viewers and his employer when he decided to quit his job after his manager scolded him for breaking company policy during a live TV interview.
The manager told him he was breaking the company policy by granting the interview while in uniform and that was when Percy called it quits on live television.
Percy Payne was doing an interview with FOX 7 Austin when his manager came up and told him he was breaking company policy. The two argued until Percy abruptly turned in his uniform and quit on the spot.
The reason Percy was talking to the news station … he’s got surveillance video showing what he claims is him being assaulted by two men at the parking garage he protects.
Percy was recalling how two young men on electric scooters pulled up to his job site and tussled with him on surveillance video when his manager appeared and gave him a dressing down.
The manager tells Percy the alleged assault was his fault … and that’s when he reaches a boiling point and quits … then finishes his interview in street clothes.
For his part, Percy claims the men from the video were trying to steal his car … and that’s what led to the physical exchange.
Percy’s also upset with the police response to the on-duty incident. When it rains it pours.
In a world where conformity often reigns supreme, Percy Payne’s bold move serves as a reminder that sometimes it takes a courageous individual to challenge the status quo and stand up for what they believe in.
