If I am on someones buddy list and they hire me from the market do I still get the bonus?

No, anyone that is a neighbor or buddy is not eligible for the bonus.

I have all of the tools and when I am hired with a new farmer without tools, I share the job but have found many who do not. This should be reportable and something should be done. Newbies get disgusted and quit the game because they do not get the jobs they need to advance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That should go into suggestions section, instead of general feedback so that the dev's can see it.

Sometimes I miss the "old market" where you could be hired and had a sea of time to do the job you where asked to do.
A while ago I left (as usual) a half farm to a starter and did the other farms. As always I send a "ty for the job" in message before leaving. Got a furious yelling response back because I did not finish the first farm . Nowadays FT is too slow to load farms, so I do no longer go back to see if all is done.
On the market there are all kind of people.
I continue to leave half or whole farms to jobstarters and hire always starters on my smallest farm although 9/10 I have to do "the rest". You can only change yourself.

I also will leave a farm and go work on another one if someone else is working on it. Otherwise the only time I will leave a farm unfinished is if it is a farm that has been layered both across and down. They take forever to load and to harvest and plow. They're just not worth the headache.

I do this, too, but I go to the last farm and work my way back towards the one I saw the noob on and I only stop when I see there's no work left on any farm. I get most of the work and bonus boxes and I don't feel bad because most likely the noob will have given up before they even get half-way thru some of these farms and I'm probably keeping crops from going bad. if I have to overlap the noob at the end, oh well. I was hired for a job, my loyalty is to the boss, so I make sure ALL the work is done before I leave.

I do this too and quite often I've found the noob has only harvested and plowed but left all the trees, flowers and fishing. I will still end up with a good bonus. Do these people not know about the bonuses. Unless everything is done they're not going to get it.

I think a lot of people just don't care about the bonuses. They want to get what they want and hang the rest.

yesterday i hired one i guess who was none of the buddy,friend, or neighbor and he just kept whing about moving stuff( flowers) so he could fish easier, saying that i was trying to cheat him out of his bonus, and further more he would not get paid anything for all the work he had already done, unless i moved stuff to his liking, and finally after he got his "bonus" he informed me that i should come over to his farm to work so he could tutor me on how to set up my farm so it would be more to his liking...puleeze
