construction is crooked

Sooo...Im pretty sure the only people who make money are the general contractors.Its funny how everything in this county is built by the lowest bidder.We get $1.60 a square foot to paint new houses,by the time you buy paint and pay your people to do the work the profit margin is really slim.Lets not even get into the punchout list the innumerable times you gotta go back and paint over every spot the other trades fucked up.The guy i work for went to the big money man and asked for more money and was told they would get someone to paint for $1.50 a foot. hell he was told someone was beggin to do them for that! Thats just crazy theres no profit in painting at that rate,makes me wonder if its true...Being a painter is all about working against idiots thats what really made me want to leave vegas too many people underbidding jobs.The fuckin dipships in the corporate office just see the numbers though,quality of work and dependability mean nothing to the number crunchers just how much money they can make per house.Dont get me wrong i love money as much as the next fuck but i want to have a quality product,you know?One of the reasons we got in to this big project was that the fuckin general found their last painter drastically cutting corners!Not priming houses, inferior products not specd out for use.Crap that'll end up in court when houses start falling apart,but the fuckers would replace us with another half-assed painter to make an extra $100 a house even though we do the job right even cutting into profit to provide a superior job....
