Surveyor Ethics

And people wonder .....

why some surveyors are unwilling to share information with others!

Surveyor A needs the stuffin' knocked out of him by someone who can really get the job done right. I know a couple of big ol' boys who would relish participating in his re-education.

Hey Cow,
Not to be a bummer, but the topic is "Surveying Ethics"
You got half a "you me an' the gatepost story". I say post all the particulars, then
let the registereds comment.

Surveyor A is a twin to that big brown spot just below my tail and feasts on what exits said spot.

When a surveyor has a problem with something done by another surveyor, THE VERY FIRST THING he should do is set up a meeting with the second surveyor to discuss why he thinks there is a problem. They calmly need to lay their cards on the table and evaluate why there is room to debate the work performed by each surveyor. Assuming this happens, there could possibly be a reason to then TELL THE GUY how you feel and to indicate that you will sending a formal complaint to the State Board for their review. If the second surveyor refuses to discuss things or becomes obnoxious or incredibly obstinate over something on which he is clearly WRONG, THEN TELL THE GUY how you feel and indicate that you will sending a formal complaint. Anyone, who feels they are being ethical by doing less than this needs some serious continuing education hours on professional ethics.

I still vote for sendin' in a couple of big ol' boys.

> You've got to have a lot of gall to ask for someone's help, and then without any warning, turn them into the board.

I would have said Balls.

Surveyor A isn't man enough to have ever grown such things. They are undescended.

Cow,
It's half a story. Whatever happened to "none of what I hear and half of what I see"

When you go after another person's livelihood, his bread and butter, what provides for his family.....you had better have the guts to stand up and be recognized for your effort to save mankind from this treacherous criminal who is masquerading as a surveyor. And, your own house had better be squeaky clean and have no glass windows or other surfaces. It is a two-way street. As the big boys say, "Paybacks are h-e-double hockeysticks." No matter how well you think you perform your duties, just remember that everyone has a skeleton or two in their closet.

Surveyor A filed a complaint on Surveyor B without notice or addressing the issue with the other party. The board looked at the complaint and threw it out. Evidently Surveyor A is a full of meadow muffins as Cow implies.

Cow,
That's either extortion or retribution depending on the circumstances.

I have seen police and lawyers use information in burning the messenger.

I can't believe that! Around here years ago we met for coffee or lunch and discussed the problem. Maybe he had info I didn't or the other way around. It was called being a surveyor.

In my state those who waste the boards time with merit-less complaints often find themselves the target of scrutiny by the board. Which is as it should be.

Knowing Surveyor A like I do, that is exactly right. He's needed extra scrutiny for years.

Give him a dose of his own medicine. Bring him some board scrutiny. Apparently, he's needed it for years.
Good luck!
