The brain trust that is 2/3 of our overpaid laborers (the other one didn't show up again) spent all day with a jet-vac trying to find a buried phone line that I could have found in half an hour with a tea spoon.
They were looking for a line that was going into an OPEN pull box, but were pot-holing where the orange paint was - Because they were too stupid to look inside the OPEN box to see where it was.
