Visited a high-rise pour in Austin, saw the dumbest finishing crew ever

Stopped by a buddy's site off Congress Ave last Tuesday to check out a 14th floor deck pour. These guys were using a walk-behind trowel on fresh concrete with no bull float first, just pushing water around and calling it good. I counted five bird baths in a 20 foot stretch before they even started power troweling. The foreman said "we'll fix it in the grind" which is code for we don't care. Has anyone else watched a crew half-ass a high-rise slab and wonder how they pass inspection?
