Disrespectful behavior by Security Gaurd

Formal Complaint – Disrespectful and Threatening Conduct by Security Guard at Allan Gray Building

I am writing to formally raise a serious complaint regarding the conduct of a security guard stationed at an Allan Gray building.

A female contractor working on site was treated in an extremely disrespectful, rude, and threatening manner by this guard. He stated that if she returned to work the following day, she would not be granted access. He further claimed that he “pays her salary,” which is entirely false and inappropriate. Such comments are not only unprofessional but also intimidating and unacceptable.

This behavior is deeply concerning, particularly within a company as reputable and prestigious as Allan Gray. Contractors and service providers should be treated with dignity and respect at all times. No individual should feel threatened or belittled while simply performing their job.

The guard’s conduct was ****y, dismissive, and abusive in tone. This reflects poorly on the standards and values associated with Allan Gray. Immediate investigation into this matter is necessary, and appropriate disciplinary action should be taken. If this individual cannot conduct himself professionally and respectfully, he should not be in a position that involves interacting with staff and contractors.

I trust that Allan Gray Head Office in Cape Town will take this complaint seriously and address the matter urgently to ensure a safe and respectful working environment for all.

I look forward to your prompt response and feedback on the action taken.

Kind regards,
