Grew up in Miami, moved to NYC and lived the first 12 years of my adulthood there, now moved back to Miami.
One thing I'm noticing as an adult is that people here are generally way more incompetent than anything I've seen elsewhere.
Needed a bidet installed. I practically had to teach the "plumber" how to do it.
Needed a TV mounted. The crew had to make three sets of holes before they got it to the right height. Also drilled into electrical.
Needed upholstery cleaning. The hot water extraction guy left half my couch dirtier than when he arrived.
Cleaning lady didn't clean half my shit. She put dirty dishes back in the cupboard!?
"Streak-free" window cleaners missed entire windows and left pretty obvious streaks on the others.
This is just the tip of the iceberg, nearly everything I've needed done I've had to get it done twice or just do it myself.
I'm wealthy, happy to pay for services to save time, I don't negotiate, I pay asking + tip well, so what the fuck is going on? In NY people did everything right the first time. Is there something in the water here?
I hate having to micromanage and constantly look behind my back. I just want to trust people to do honest work.
