If I put on my hi-vis, hardhat, and tool pack, then I can go through basically any doors. I also can do things like ask a random employee I’ve never seen before “What’s the door code again?” and they’ll just tell me.
Buddy was telling me about a friend of his that accidentally apent like an hour at the wrong company for a job because no one questioned the giy in the hard hat, hi-vis, and clipboard coming in to do maintance.
Yup. I’ve had that happen before too. I got sent a ticket to fix the HVAC a fast food joint and I thought well, that’s convenient because it was right down the street from where I was parked. So I drove over, put up my ladder, climbed up onto the roof, and started working on the airhandler only to find out that nothing was wrong with it. Confused I called the manager who put the ticket in. I then learned that that resturant had another location in that city which I didn’t know about and the issue was actually at that other location.
Sometimes you don’t even need that much. I was able to get into restricted floors doing a job at the Comcast building by simply waiting for an employee to show up and asking them to badge me in so I could do the thing I was contracted to do. It took security 45 minutes to catch all of us, and I think the guy who contracted us got shit canned shortly thereafter for breaking security protocols, but all it took was a little bit of politeness and an official-looking gadget in my hand.
