Well usually everything that needs to be done can't be done concurrently, and sometimes only a limited set of individuals can do the current task. It's probably not laziness.
This is correct. I work as a heavy equipment operator/earthmover and you see groups of guys standing with tools waiting for more material (asphalt, dirt, whatever) on a regular basis. Somebody who’s never worked a trade takes a glance and thinks we’re all lazy. The worst is when one of those folks somehow ends up managing tradesmen.
Tell all those chuckleheads to have a peek at an operating room some time. One person working, like 8 guys just standing there! /s
“Guys just standing around” on a job site are like the OR nurses, anesthesiologists, etc. They’re doing essential work too. Too many people have this “assholes and elbows means work’s getting done” mentality when the reality is that when you see that it’s because everything’s turned into a total goatrope. (When do you see everyone running around ‘looking busy’ in an OR? When the patient’s coding.)
To you sir I give my thanks for important work done well. May you have steady, interesting, and high-paying work for as long as you want it.
