I'd suggest that those persons at other units who had the personnel previously for years before they arrived here with long CVs, the tag 'experienced' and glowing references may to some extent be responsible for their apparent total lack of knowledge of the basics in almost all areas of sitework? If I was taking 'inexperienced' staff it'd be fair enough, but the ones with balls enough to claim to be experienced and have years of CV at major excavation units, and are expecting to get paid, should at least have some idea how to use a trowel, or, in this case, that 1/1000sec probably isn't an appropriate shutter speed for most archaeological photography (amazing how often you find site cameras on settings like that). On that basis, no, actually, I've got better things to do (like getting to the archaeology before they can make a total b****-up of it), followed by a recommendation they don't get employed here again. Same pretty much applies to people who need their hands holding...
Too right-wing? :0}
No objection to training people how to do new things though, do that quite often thanks :face-approve:
