Greetings Troll, and a happy day off to you too
I do actually agree with the aspirations of everything in that, and attempts are made: a few diggers are often kept on in the office here after big sites (as in many units) to 'learn the ropes' by doing pretty much all parts of the PX process bar actually writing the report, some then turn out to be so good at it they get offered PO jobs - on that basis it would therefore be good if it were possible to do that with everyone, we're probably missing some good PO material, also gives a better opportunity to spot more specialist skills that people have but have neglected to highlight on their CVs. Some people who are never going to be more than 'ok' diggers then shine in an office environment - slightly biased viewpoint on that, since if there were more of them I could spend more time using my personal preferred skill which is mattocking mud
