"is there any past evidence of any Archaeological companies doing the same in an informal way?"
At the start of my career, I was told by an old digger, that those who rock the boat are the first over-board. This is as true now as it was then-all a company has to do is contrive a 'lay off' and get rid of a person they consider a 'trouble-maker',they're not sacked, because then the company would have to prove the individual was guilty of mis-conduct,so the person is laid off and won't be employed by that company again.
And depending how vindictive an individual is within the company that did the 'getting rid off', all it takes is a phone call to another company that they know the, ahem-trouble maker is looking to be employed by and they can get them blacklisted there as well.
