[QUOTE="jemski, post: 645551, member: 2096"] Thank you for all your advice. He is not officially on the farm payroll anymore, but the golf courses which makes it trickier. He is due a redundancy payment from the farm as well but has agreed to wait for that until the house is sold and there is some money. However, the farm company has a half share in the golf course company so still my employee but it's complicated!!!!!! I spoke to him this morning. He said that he feels pulled in different directions and that he doesn't stop but I said jobs just aren't getting done and I understand it's a difficult adjustment period but it's hard for me too. I need the farm to work. He said his wages had been cut and I wish I had been quick enough to say he was lucky we were able to still give him a job but my brain wasn't working quick enough!!! I said I didn't want to fall out with him but as it was it wasn't working and that I wouldn't stand for being spoken to like that. We ended up on good terms and he's now working away on a permanent mains electric fence that needs some attention. Hopefully this will have woken him up. I think he has just had it too easy for too long and doesn't actually know what hard work is anymore plus he is struggling with the loss of my dad after so many years and all the sudden change. When all the fencing is up together he will be doing more on the golf course, which I think will be a bit of a shock to the system for him. They definitely don't stop for the rain! I've worked there, I know!!!!!! [/QUOTE]
