Quote:quote:A company I worked for last year who never advertise jobs would probably not want to be on the list
yo would have to ask, why they would not want to be on a list... if the criteria were fair, the cost was nothing and the benefit was both commercial and archaeological. They would not have to advertise jobs to be on a list.
Quote:quoteuppose the way forward is to have a recognised list of ranks related to the autonomy and responsibility of the individual within the organisation. E.g. Do you have primary responsibility for recording? Do you regularly supervise others, and if so how many? Do you regularly write archive reports? Etc.
how true... and that hopefully exists to a certain degree in the BAJR grades, where it is what you do or are responsible for that matters .. NO what you are called. My old favourite is the 'non' supervising supervisor - oh we just call them that, though they won't do any supervising (cough cough) or the supervisor who seems to run projects, financial, tendering, reports etc.. (sounds a bit PO to me !)
It may not be as bad as we think, but there is a vast latitude in who does what, and how much they are paid, and sadly... what some companies feel they can get away with.
