So what do the local units feel about these mega units moving in? In my neck of the woods there is more and more of this happening. And fair business practice or not, they have the ability to undercut and take a loss if it gets them more business in the long run (allegedly). It would not be so bad if they used local staff but they need to protect the jobs of their permanent staff who are drafted in.
So the medium units go to the wall and the only locals surviving are one man bands or those who have a reputation for quality or special relationships with clients
The mega units often do not have the local knowledge and are not embedded enough in the area do be truly involved in community archaeology.
I often feel like a small fish in a small pond surrounded by sharks who are getting very very hungry:face-crying:
