The on-site security for The Client doesn't get enough good press, and this is an instance where they have to get some!
NOTE: Details concerning The Client are necessarily obfuscated, both due to site policy and Client policy.
This story was related to me by my coworker "Minh" (not her real name). She works the overnight shift here at the help desk, and this happened to her last week.
So before she comes in for her shift, she swings by Mickey D's to get some food. After seeing the line at the drive-thru, she decided to park it, get her food, and then go back to her car before coming to work at The Client.
It was after she left Mickey D's that she noticed a car following her. She didn't think anything of this. There are plenty of people who work further up the road from us. She didn't think anything of it either when they turned into the main entrance to The Client, either. There are plenty of people who work overnight here as well.
So Minh pulls up to the gate and shows her ID badge so the gate will open. And then she sees the car following her start to try to back up.
Which is when he's immediately penned in place by Security, in the form of one car behind him. As Minh pulls through the gate and up to the other gate (as she works overnight, she has to more or less show her ID twice to get in), another Security car pulls up in front of the car that had followed her, their lights flashing.
Minh looks at this in surprise, then just smiles and comes on in to work without further incident. She didn't mention this to me until a few days later, when I recalled seeing the two Security cars (lights flashing and everything) and the car in question. I didn't think anything of it at the time, but it becomes far more amusing after Minh told me the story.
Given the nature of The Client, our Security absolutely does have authority to do this kind of thing, and they Do Not Fuck Around. That's all I'll say. Good on them for looking out for Minh, even if Mr. Follower realized he'd made an error in judgment and tried to leave.
