I am afraid this is the case... those termed trolls are nothing of the sort.
indeed there is a legitimate comment that in 2008 when the survey was presented, the comments from the previous one were not utilised. now (it seems) we find that the comments from the 2008 one were not listened to either. Although using similar questions is useful, this is a changing world. and the survey should keep up.
If this is the case, then (it seems ) that the comments of this one will also be ignored and on it goes.
Did this contract go to tender - one has to ask... as it seems the PtP has been devilled by comments of skewed means and incomplete data. I refer to - for example the first PtP, when £17,079 was seen as the average and £15,905 the median for an archaeologist. The reality - well according to my records that go back to 1999 an excavator was making just over 11,500k and in 2003 £12,966
I think it is a valuable exercise, but I can't think why yet.
Don't be put off by justifiable criticisms - and I don't honestly think that Kenny will mind - aftere all the easy answer is to shrug and say... ah, tis only those trouble makers at BAJR... they were never going to support this anyway. BAJR Fed is however a broad church and is what it is.
The question that stands is if the survey is suitable for freelancers, Specialists and Units of 1 - as it stands... this seems to be not the case. It seems that for this PtP these people will not be able to complete the survey OR have to complete it in a way that renders the answers invalid.
I tried as well... and gave up. another statistic that won't be counted, even if I wanted to.,
