Saw a guy climb 40 feet with a half-worn lanyard and no stopper knot, and I had to yell across the lot

I was finishing a trim job near a strip mall in Aurora when I spotted him up a silver maple with his flip line barely biting, so I walked over and asked him to check his knot before he leaned back. He got down fine, but he admitted his boss tells the crew knots just slow them down. How do you all handle it when someone else's climber is working that loose?
