Best week ever: A crew that actually showed up and knew what they were doing

Tbh last Tuesday was wild. I had a three-man crew show up at 7am sharp to hang 80 sheets of 5/8 on a new build in Mesa. No one was hungover, all the tools were dialed in, and we finished by 4pm. Then the next day we did all the taping and mudding without a single callback. But I swear it's usually the opposite - guys leaving gaps bigger than my fist or forgetting to stagger the seams. Has anyone else had a crew that just clicked like that?

Feel that dude. Had a crew two weeks ago rocking 12 footers on a warehouse job and it was like they read each others minds. No wasted motion, no one tripping over cords, just solid work. Makes you wonder why every crew cant be like that. It is a rare treat when the stars align and you get a real team for a change.

Three out of five times when I hear about a crew like that it's because nobody was checking their work. A warehouse job with 12 footers sounds like a rush to me, not teamwork. Fast crews usually cut corners and leave messes for the next guy to clean up. I would rather have a crew that takes their time and argues about where the outlet goes than one that just nods and plugs things in wrong. Good communication is fine but when it's too quiet on site I start wondering what they are hiding behind the drywall.
