Discussions about Hiring and Hiring Practices

[MaryLouW]

I think those who are the addicts tend to do it themselves rather than hanging out at the market place. I know I do when it's a cheap crop. With harvesters, it doesn't take long to do it.

I have never hired a person that says "solo only"... although when I do hire, it's almost always solo unless I happen to have a large area and the person I hired is extremely slow. After I hire someone, I check their progress. If they're going like a jet plane, I leave it at that. If they're working at a snail's pace, I check their level - it's usually under 30 - I try to find another worker with a low level as well but I never hire more than 2 people for any job. I used to hire one to harvest, one to plow but realize that's not the best policy, especially with a low cost crop. The plower gets the better value so now, if I hire 2, they both harvest and plow.

It gets to be a sticky wicket because there are so many different kinds of people playing this game.

I also will not hire anyone who yells out "Hire meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeee. They get an Ignore real fast. Nor will I hire anyone that says plow and nothing else. You certainly wouldn't go looking for a real job and say "job". Even when I've hired someone to harvest, they finish.. they have one word to say.. "plow". I hire someone else with more manners.
