Discussions about Hiring and Hiring Practices

[katupatree]

Along with that, what's up with the rewards expiring? If a person hires you for multiple jobs on a farm that is layered and/or stacked that takes a while to complete, the reward should not expire as long as I am on the farm working. I have all the big tools and sometimes it still takes a while.

If I'm hired for multiple farms and there is worker already on the farm I arrive at, I go to another farm and start working there.

You will have to change that in Facebook. Farm Town does not set your currency. Go to Facebook Account Settings and click on Payments in the left column. In the next screen is a way to set your currency.

I wish more farmers were like you. I just worked a farm where it was me and three people with combines. I only have a 6x6 harvester and 5x5 plow. I was basically useless as the others were done before I could even click on my harvester. There is no need to hire four people with tools for one farm. No one gets any profit out of it.

I don't mind sharing work. If I am working with someone I usually harvest a line down the middle of the field so we each have an equal amount of field and each get our fair share of the work. and suggest that we each work one side of that line.Most of the farmers I have worked with are agreeable to that arrangement and have thanked me for being fair, but some still get greedy and take over the whole field in which case the best thing to do is leave. Also if the other worker doesn't have tools I won't use mine. Then they won't feel like they are being too slow and I won't be standing around waiting for them to finish so I can collect the bonus.

I'm having problems at marketplace. I click to hire someone to work but it's not coming up whether they accept or not so I hire another. Go back to my farm and find they are both there working! Is anyone else having this problem.

You sound like a dying breed there!
I was doing a farm earlier this morning and then up pops someone who basically took over the farm and cleared it in something like 6 clicks as they had the tools to do it in something like a 16x16 grid and as I am only a new farmer with 2 farms, don't have the luxury. I am doing it 1 by 1 and being partially sighted, takes me some time to do. The could see that I was doing the farm and could have jumped on one of the persons other farms.
I do have other profiles with other farms but I am taking time off from them to concentrate on my new farms.

I have seen the height of laziness and rudeness tonight. I along with 4 others were hired to harvest crops and trees plow fields and chop trees. Everyone harvested crops and plowed and then I started on the trees. The others stood there and waited for me to finish the trees then collected the bonus and left. They didn't lift a finger to help with the trees.

That should mean your bonus was bigger...the more work you do the more you get.
