The relationship between hours worked and work produced is not a linear one.Very true and I know many people in other industries who have "burnt out" Archaeology has a surplus work force so an exploitative employer can afford to have staff drop by the wayside and as long as they are allowed to getaway with it they will.
There are many stress induced illnesses that are technically industrial injury but does anyone ever claim compensation for them?
Jack is right this country does suffer from this strange notion that to get on you have to put in more than the paid for hours. I bet most Continuing Professional Development is done in people's own time, how many archaeology companies allow for the CPD hours recommended by the IFA to take place in company time?
