Course they can. It's down to the direction they get from the supervisors and POs. I got this kind of condescending sh!te about the youth of today when I started digging, but fundamentally, if the supervisors don't get their diggers to do it properly, they've only got themselves to blame. Pride in your work cuts both ways.
There. disagreeing with Dinosaur again. Feeling better.
And as for unpaid overtime and treating it like a hobby, the only unit I've worked for who expected that (and camping on site, toilets only to be used at tea breaks!) didn't pay holidays or bank holidays, expected me to work down deep unshored trench and stood and watched concrete being poured on a good half-metre of stratified Roman deposits. They also had beautifully straight sections, plans in colour, a medium format camera and a 'site planner'. Whither professionalism?
Agreeing with Jack. Suddenly a bit queasy.
