Reply to comment by ResultedTag72 in I love how much we pay these guys to stand around. there was 8 of them standing there doing nothing. later on when I came home even more of them doing nothing. by ResultedTag72

You still don’t understand why a construction worker would be on call even though you have already gotten a good explanation (which even only touches on some reasons why they would have to wait, like waiting on permits). Until you know enough to even be able to tell the difference in work/not work, you don’t have a leg to stand on.

I'm pretty sure when one guy is in the hole digging and 8 guys are watching him. They aren't working. Last week I saw 5 of them dispatched to do something in a man hole. So there was 3 trucks with 4 guys watching the one guy in the manhole.

Then I guess I will never understand paying way to many people than is needed and the job be months behind schedule.
