The main problem with the current system is that more experienced diggers who chose to remain as diggers don't tend to get any recognition of their increased experience/skills set in the form of, eg, more money, despite their (usually) increased contribution on site - that'll be why some of us had to start taking supervisor jobs to pay the bills - being 'supervisors' doesn't make us any less 'diggers', just means spending a few minutes a day pointing people at new things to dig and fending off the client....still haven't quite figured what 'Senior Project Officer' is supposed to entail but I'm sure the management will explain it eventually.....still seems to involve just as much shovelling.....
