I actually agree with Dinosaur to an extent here - there are a surprising number of diggers who don't seem to know how to do the job properly and the faults he lists are something we've all seen on site I'm sure. However I disagree with the apparent suggestion that this gives units the right to ignore and dismiss the criticisms of field staff and view them on the whole as a bunch of retards. The reason for most of the bad diggers is that they've never been shown how to do it right, they've come out of university and fallen straight into projects where the speed of work was the priority rather than the successful gathering of information. When units give the elbow to staff who raise objections to failings in professional standards or a lack of professional integrity then it simply sends the message to inexperienced staff that professionalism is a career hindrance and we're left with more and more commercial jobs being carried out with high degrees of incompetence and lack of professional pride in the work undertaken.
Labelling anyone who speaks out against a lack of professionalism as a whinger who isn't getting any work done seems like a way to avoid addressing the problem of poor standards in the workplace.
