It's been 7 months and the elevator in my condo building has not been completed yet. They are very slow and barely make any progress. I guess all the fast Mexicans are working in the US. And it's a small elevator with 4 stops the shaft has been built for a year now. Yeah, 3world problems. No seriously these guys are slow and sloppy. Always re-doing stuff.

Nice to know we gringos benefit from the brain/talent drain from Mexico.

From your description of the workmanship, I'd be taking the stairs.

The pace of life in general is slower in Mexico than it is here, and that's part of its appeal for tourists.
If you sit down in a restaurant in Mexico, you won't get your order taken quickly, it will take a while for the food to arrive, and you won't be rushed out. You have to ask for your check. They won't bother you if you sit there sipping a drink for an extra hour. |

Mexican Americans, don't like to get up, in the morning, but they have to, so they do it real slow.

Don't worry, Obama's will even it all out. It used to be that only the fast ones made it across the border but now they're not bothering to catch the slow ones either. Pretty soon the ones here will be equally slow.

How does socialism work?
Well, you're seeing it in (non)action. Like the Soviet miner's quote. "They pretend to pay us and we pretend to work." |
|
Why don't you go down to Home Depot and pick up some illegal white dudes who will just do the work the Mexicans aren't willing to do?

I have a lot of Hispanic labor; some of them have been with me for many years. The truth is left to their own devices they don't make the best decisions. They need direction from someone with skills which most of them don't have. It's not that they can't learn or have no interest in learning; they come from places that do not teach things like thinking and have a very low quality standard.

... ever drive deep into Mexico?
You'll see mile after mile of unfinished structure. None of which would be to code here. God Bless America. Especially Mesa, Arizona

You need to get out more. EVERYTHING in a third world country is slow unless bribes or threat of death is used to motivate.

Imagine what will happen to their economy if they ever get contract enforceability and a mortgage industry! |

I heard Mexican elevators will get to the bottom of the shaft faster than any other.

Out away from town there were some unfinished houses. The guide said the owners would build them themselves and progress as funds allowed. |

View Quote A few year's back, I remember reading an article that pretty much lamented just that - developers in Jalisco were complaining about how hard it was to find qualified workers, as most were in the US where they commanded higher wages. Where are you, FWIW? |

It's funny that some of you are telling OP the way it is in Mexico and you've either never been there or just visited. I think OP lives there. He must be like lol

My uncle was an engineer for a construction company that did lot of business in Mexico. He said, "The Mexican people are the people of the future because everything is always 'Manana, manana, manana.'"
He said one time the supplier for steel to build a bridge in Mexico was a local place. In the contract was a penalty clause for some amount of money for every day the steel was late. In the end delivery was so late that they got the steel for free. The supplier actually owed them money to even take delivery but they agreed to just take the steel for free. I would have been afraid to accept the steel at all under those conditions just from a safety standpoint. |

If it wasn't for tacos, enchiladas, carnitas and chilaquiles, Mexico could fall off the face of the planet for all I care. |
