If you want the slab dug to the proper size then you have to be there bitching and measuring.
Also, good luck getting the concrete to achieve the correct slump. Most residential crews will not work with a low slump mix.

Upgrading the concrete mix to a mix design which is designed for a higher slump is better than bitching at one's finishers for placing too high slump concrete.
The cost of an upgrade to add a high-range water reducing chemical to the concrete mix is usually only around $4-$5 per cubic yard. This will allow your foundation crew to be as stupid as is the usual norm on pour day and not compromise the concrete strength or workability.
