I've seen workers in the US installing cabinets do work that homeowner would never see, that takes longer and costs more. They could easily skip it, nobody would be the wiser and their reputation wouldn't suffer.
The builder does it because "that's how it's done right and I don't do it half-assed".
That's the attitude that's missing - pride of workmanship.
- est 4y agoThe problem is contractors with zero pride can still get jobs. China's fast urbanization creates such demand imbalance. The sad part is the boss won't promote the labor worker for a better slope, they just need the worker to move fast to the next job.
- refurb 4y agoI'm not sure the bosses even know about slope. It's turtles all the way down.
- watwut 4y agoBuilding such culture requires checks and controls where you can see. It requires customers that complain after a while if things don't work. It requires management that does not reward pure speed. The "that's how it's done right and I don't do it half-assed" does not magically happen.
- refurb 4y agoThat’s not true in my example.
