All of this is fine and I'm not attacking a strong honest work ethic or saying everyone should work their exact hours only (God knows I have spent enough extra time working on things when I would have rather been at home), but having to work at 110% all the time does sometimes seem like the expected norm in archaeology and it is not sustainable nor should people feel pressured (for that perhaps read bullied) into doing it. Making it standard is not healthy and will just maintain high staff turnover and burnout. Not to mention the issue of poor management putting people under time pressure. Leaving 20 minutes early to get to site? Who worked out the presumably unrealistic travel time when costing it up?
