I have been around a lot of good construction workers. I have also been around some pretty bad ones. I’ve only been around a very few that I could call great. To be great requires that rare blend of speed and quality. A lot of workers tend to boast how great they are or were and how they could put others to shame on a regular basis. I have heard this from workers I knew too well and wondered how they could even be so delusional.
After a while, I noted that almost every worker seemed to claim they are one of the greats at production and quality. That is simply just not possible. Over the years, I worked with some very poor production workers; while they were slow, they did have excellent quality. I also know guys that can fly but the quality left for something to be desired. My problem was the lower level production guy who claimed to only do “quality” work as a cover up to the sagging numbers in production rates.
