I do not want such a low limit on hiring. It would make the game slow.
Personally, this is why we need to be able to fire people. If you don't like greedy farmers, fire them and send them back to market.
I personally do not hire anyone who asks for solo work because I see that as being greedy in and of itself, and I resent the sense of entitlement that is behind it. I try to hire only 3-4 at a time for my large farm, as that is sufficient work for everyone to get something done and move on. If you have a slow connection, that's life! Get a better one or deal with it - by getting more friends/neighbors who play during your time zone, and tending to their farms.
When I churn raspberries or other short crops, yes the return is low, but it's work every couple of hours instead of every couple of days and there is more to do over time for more people. A quick jaunt of raspberries nets a little income and allows you to move on without being bored. I personally don't like harvesting a farm full of raspberries because it's boring and low return. I would rather have help and then be able to move on to someone else's farm, who may have other crops. Doing a field full of raspberries and taking 30 minutes means that you miss an opportunity to harvest someone else's more lucrative crops.
If someone gets mad about having other people help with short crops, they can just leave and look for another opportunity. It's a free world.
