Accommodation provided. First in last out. There might be work on Monday. Working with unqualified people. The Digger, Bajr. Jump up and down, Unions sweet FA. Another chainoffools will be along tomorrow.
Yes my view is that archaeology and traditional employment conditions don’t mix. The traditional way produces crap managers who then employ crap diggers to keep their crap and often highly subsidised crap methodology going. There is another way but it does not solve chainos current contract discrepancies. Oh and we cant mention the unit name, the client, the county, the job.
You probably don’t like the concept that archaeology is about banging out context sheets ? and that you can look at a pre-ex plan, estimate the number of features divide them up by the number of diggers, know what your screwing the client for, and cut your corn,, cloth accordingly , might even get the machine back in. The management in this case could probably quite easily have told the client to mind their own business and that their workers were highly efficient and that the process of work includes vast periods not digging. But they didn’t, ha ha. I would like to imagine that the management were doing it to hack off the downtrodden workers but I bet that its cause the management are crap in the traditional employment way. Chaino are the managers on permanent contracts? Let me guess.
