I have trees and flowers turned on and could see them and they all dimmed out when I clicked on my harvest tool so none of those farms had harvestable trees so the harvest obviously wasn't for trees or flowers, and my chopping tool was dimmed out so chopping wasn't the job either. When I've accidently clicked on the wrong farm when hiring I will get a pop saying I can't hire for that farm because there is no work to do there so how are others able to hire me for a farm with no work on it?

I agree with the Knightrider. They hire multiple workers, most probably because they are very busy in their personal lives. I never delegate 2 or more helpers to do same chore in the same farm. And if I am hires to do a job and if I see other people doing the same job that I was hired for, I leave that farm and I go to another farm where there are no workers. Also when I work into a farm and a farmer comes without tools, I stop working so that I give that farmers to earn some coins or xps.

Many people you hire do absolutely nothing which is why you have to attempt to hire multiple people and you stop hiring as soon as you see that work is being done when the message appears on the hiring site.

If you see that the person you hired isn't going to do anything, then yes, go back to the market place and rehire someone, but you can't just go back to your farm, see they haven't done anything yet and then immediately go back to the market place, you should give them a minute or so before going back to hire someone, plus there are people that will hire others even though they have workers already working on their farm. I have been hired to do a farm and there was 2 others on that farm harvesting and over half of it was done, so I did what I could and I left. Some probably say I should have left a message, but if I had left a message, that person could have access to my farm and I didn't want them to have any access to my farm or messages.
