to become head of security for Caterpillar.

He's getting a headstart out of the force in light of the upcoming ACLU lawsuit.

The rats are jumping ship.

Seems like a step down, no?

Chief of police, and now on equal footing to a mall cop?

_________________

Depends on the definition of "step down". I'm guessing the salary/benefits are WAY better in his new position.

His pay is in this spreadsheet:

$149k annual salary and $258k total annual compensation. Not bad.

Possibly, but that's pretty sad.

How hard is it to "guard" giant pieces of machinery that would take more giant pieces of heavy machinery to steal?

Given that the Chinese are spying on our industrial companies, I don't think this is a critical hire by Cat. You probably need some hackers.

True, but he also has to take the fall when some bad employee gets fired and then comes in and shoots up the factory.

_________________

As head of security, I think he just needs to call the police.

_________________

He probably knows the number.

I'd be very surprised if he gets more than that with the new job.

This is a step up. Easier job for more cash.

I read that he will become head of security for North America, not just some factory in Illinois.

Yeah, I am thinking this is not the Paul Blart role.

Not very hard...until the autobots and decepticons show up...then it's a nightmare.

Yeah, people need to learn how to read.

Right, he's going to be Paul Blart's boss. BIG difference.

Nope.

Explain to my foolish self why head of security at Catepillar is a more important job than chief of police in the 7th largest city in Illinois.

Because it's Peoria.

Good answer.

Maybe I take that back, it's hard work to constantly cover up and bury reports of police brutality and assault.

Don, you gotta tell me where you're goong with this. I'm a busy man.

Ivan told me never to explain my jokes.

Besides, all the cool kids already get it.

Careful now, PMatt already went after Baby Mc for similar thoughts.
