Wax Wrote:So what course of action does the school of Jack endorse for dealing with the supervisor/ manager who waltzes in trowel in hand to demonstrate where the edges of a feature should be. Creates a ruddy great pile of &@£^! on top of that feature you have just spent an hour cleaning then strolls off to deal with other important matters leaving their &@£^ behind them.!
This question is a very difficult conundrum and has many answers. See course 201 Supervising a site.
It is a supervisors prerogative to create spoil whilst finding the edges for a digger and not clean it up.
However, the paradox is, said practice is deemed very rude.
It depends on the situation, the site, the supervisor/ digger relationship, time constraints, experience of the digger etc etc.
The School of Jack would state that a supervisor should not do so in excess, nor use it as a punishment and if time allows (which is rarely) should tidy up after themselves.
The School of Jack would also state that if a digger can't find the edges of a feature, then they should be prepared to clean away the spoil of those who can.
