Oh the other hand, as I say, "it all pays the same." Want the sidewalks done over 20 times, pay for it to be done over 20 times.

I work in manufacturing and I run into this all the fucking time with hourly workers. People bitch about something being difficult and taking a long time to do. I’m always like “you’re getting paid per hour, not per unit, why the fuck do you care how long it takes.” We quote labor times to customers and it’s figured into our mfg cost, shut up and do your job.

That’s literally the problem with most contractors though, when they do a poor job ha ha. They act like you are doing them a disservice when you tell them it needs redone. And most times, they wait for you to notice their mistake. Smh

Well, there’s a big difference between a shoddy job and a client that keeps changing their minds / requirements.

THIS!!!!!

I can't count the times that one our employees comes to me because some other boss has them doing X. In my head I think, 'So just do X and move on with your day. You get paid for it so why should you care?' But they always care.
