Not bad right? At least now they're remunerated properly with the progressive wage model in place.

There are 2 types of security guards. 1 type do jack shit, basically just sit there as a watchman.
But the other type is doing quite a complex and heavy jobscope. They need to learn how to operate complex monitoring equipment with up to hundreds of monitoring screens. Signing in visitors at the same time, and making sure authorized visitings are approved via some softwares. Making monthly audits verifications. And much more that I am not aware of. This type of guards are seriously underpaid. An office admin job is 10 times easier.
