So, X units get built in 6 hours and they go home or, in a lot of cases, maybe a 2nd job. Stupid.

Hell, my family grows citrus in CA and the guys picking are unbelievably fast, but if they start turning in fruit that's not picked correctly, or is damaged, they're gone, and I mean paid off and off the crew on the spot.
