The problems mentioned by netizens do exist. We visited many communities in Hefei. For example, there are 15 security guards in a community, with an average age of about 65, and the oldest security guard is 68. There are also some of the oldest security guards in the community, who are almost 70 years old. When dealing with some emergencies in the community, older veteran comrades are really not as physical as young people. The person in charge of a security company in Hefei told us that in 1998, security is a very sought-after occupation, and the salary is quite high. Many young people are scrambling to do it. Nowadays, young people are reluctant to be security guards, even security guards who are not too old and healthy are hard to recruit. Why? Why is the security in Hefei community aging? During the visit, we found that as a community security guard, the work content is relatively complicated, relatively hard and the working hours are relatively long. Not only do you have to be on duty during the day, but sometimes you have to work overtime at night. In addition, in the eyes of many people, the social status of the position of security guard is relatively low, the turnover of personnel is relatively large, and the quality of candidates is not high enough. Moreover, there are many irregularities in insurance such as wages and social security. On the other hand, many young people think that the career development prospects of security guards are low, and some owners with low quality are unfriendly to security guards and do not know how to respect others, which will also make young security guards feel psychologically unbalanced and leave their jobs angrily.

Strangely, security guards, who are not kissed by grandma and unloved by uncle, have great responsibilities, great pressure, low welfare benefits, extremely low status and little room for promotion, but they can attract young people to work. Didn't you see that security guards are often abused and beaten because of conflicts with owners in residential areas such as vehicles? In addition, the property company's own operating conditions have been very poor. There are only a handful of property companies that can collect property fees on time every year. If the property company wants to maintain its business, it can only save costs in recruitment and find old men who are retired but want to use the waste heat to get some extra blocks as security guards. This is the effect of bad money driving out good money. The worse the service, the less property fees can be collected, the less property fees can be collected, and more money can only be saved from all the places that can be saved, which reduces the quality of service. In addition, property security is a profession that encounters many trivial things. If you are looking for hot young people, I am afraid it will easily lead to greater disputes and struggles. Relatively speaking, the old people have a much calmer temper and are much gentler when things go wrong. So it's not surprising that the security guards are older.

Most security guards come out to work mainly to kill time, and some have retired from their original posts, so they have nothing to do, so they go to work as security guards by the way. But in fact, "security aging" is not a good phenomenon. After all, security guards are responsible for maintaining order and protecting the safety of one party. Although it is now a society ruled by law, there will be no accidents under normal circumstances, but it does not mean that there are no accidents. In the event of an emergency, such as robbery, fighting or even hurting people in the street, security guards can't handle it, because they are old and their physical quality is far behind that of young people, so they can't handle it well. In the final analysis, the problem of "aging" of security still needs to return to the industry itself. Low salary, high work pressure and frequent personnel turnover are all reasons why young people are unwilling to engage in the security industry. The most crucial point is that the security group can't get the respect of the society, the security can't get the respect of others, and the social status is low. This is a psychological blow, and it is also the fundamental reason why most people are unwilling to engage in the security industry. Therefore, apart from improving the treatment of security guards, the most important thing is to change their social status. We can't look at security guards with colored glasses, let alone "look down" on security guards. Assuming there is no security, our daily life will change a lot. Because no one maintains order and protects safety, the danger of our living environment will decrease and increase, burglary and robbery will occur frequently, and personal safety will not be guaranteed. It's really scary to think about it.

The work of security guards is always like a dog worrying about the community, and the treatment is like a dog accusing people of right and wrong. So young people can't stand it! Then there are people under the age of 50, old and young, with a heavy burden. If they are security guards, then the low salary can't support a family at all! Some people over the age of 50, whose parents are gone and their children are married, have no burden. Besides, they have suffered. Even working 12 hours is much easier than working in the sixties and seventies. Although the salary is low, I can still save some money for my 60 s and 70 s holiday life, so most of the community security guards are elderly people! Security work is not that you can't recruit young people. As long as you add a zero to the current security salary, many young people will rush to do it! The job of security is not that young people are unwilling to do it now, but that young people don't have the capital to do it, because two people in the family will starve to death after working for two years at such a low salary.

This is the case in many places, and the core reason is: cheap and cheap. For example, the security guards in some luxury residential areas are still handsome guys, and the security guards and butlers of some rich families are also hired with high salaries. The key factor is whether the money is in place. Both security guards and doormen like to recruit such old men. Old people in rural areas have older children and older wives. They are free anyway. Find something to do. Less money means less. Therefore, old men with low quality can also be competent. Don't complain about the poor quality of security. Think about it. You give someone 2000 yuan a month. Why do some people do "the service level of British butler"? Older men generally don't like to do housework. If they get in the way at home, they might as well come out and earn a little money. Earn a little, as much as you earn. On the other hand, if residents want property management companies to improve their service quality, such as letting young people be security guards, and if thieves really come and can play the role of catching thieves, they should increase the gold content of security posts and hire young people with high quality. In fact, it looks beautiful, because property fees will increase, residents will not pay any more, and property companies will not recruit high-quality and well-paid young people. To sum up, the profession of security guards is a bit of a sideline. They are all retired old men, just guarding the door and patrolling at night. Property companies don't have to bear social security, and security wages don't have to be deducted, which is a win-win situation for both parties. In the security labor market, a hit-it-off situation has formed.
