It's a lot nicer to work in an environment like that as well. Theres no "fear" of doing something in the wrong way, after all if the end result is achieved in a timely manner who cares how it's achieved!?I hate having to micro manage too. I’m a huge believer in giving people parameters and them achieve what’s been requested how they see fit to do so.
Yep, we rent our 2 bed out just up the road at milborne for £775Crazy ain’t it,we rent the OH’s 2 up 2 down out in puddletown for £810@month unfurnished
About £4 an hour but never used to book all the hours I worked, place with the slow milker was there about 10 years, first 8 years doing weekends along side a full time job, last 2 years doing weekends and every weekday afternoon milking, never booked more than £6 or 1 1/2hours per milking, 5/10 herringbone 65/70 cows, when I left they had a chap who booked every minute and the cows were gone within 6 months and the farm let out, other place about 3 years, 44 cows through a 4 standing cowshed milked with a miracle milker and 2 bucket units, and then had to carry the buckets of milk 35 yards to the bulk tank, then upgraded to a 12/12 herringbone and 250 cows, between 1980 and 1990.What were you on those days compared to now in a sense
Out of interest when dishing out the “Bollocking” what approach do you all go for?Not quite. You need to have a bit of an aura so your staff understand where the line is.
If necessary, give them a “Positive Bollocking”

Are you calm and collected. And go for the explaining approach as to why that happened and what to do next time to avoid that happening again?
Or
Are you the totally flip your lid, vein bulging on your forehead all the expletives you can think of approach?
I’ve always found it interesting having been a employee and more recently an employer which approach people go for.
My conclusion was those that totally lose the plot may not get the best end result but they don’t bottle up any anger which the first approach gets you as you, if your honest, never let go of the frustration you have!
And a pat on the back/(socially distant) cuddle every now and then.Big money
As the son this is always a pain. He's either got the wrong end of the stick. It's a problem I'm already sorting or it's a problem in his mind but in the bigger picture it doesn't matter. But I have unfortunately experienced a couple of minutes of negativity that my day would have been better without.Usually moan at the son and tell him to do it.

Ffs! £20/hr! What part of that is exploitation?Fudge that. Exploiting young people, either pay them properly or forget it.
I agree. I’m not a fan of losing your temper. I like to think when things go wrong they are accidents. That nobody maliciously sets out to cause damage. But I bet being that we are in industry under high workload and pressure I bet we are a minority.shouting and screaming get you no where. It depends what’s happened but if they’ve broken something getting them to help fix it is always a brilliant lesson. People make mistakes though and things do go wrong form time to time.
The number of young people I've seen over the past couple of years try and do a job and either cant be bothered or think they should be entitled to £50/hour plus a house is unreal. I'm only 20 but have seen more than 10 different younger people leave their job over the past 3 years in the 2 jobs I've worked at. For the most part they seem like they genuinly cant be bothered, some dont want to get off the tractor seat, some think they know everything. Several of them at my last job were asked to bed down calves, shown what is expected and where they are and after several weeks were taking ALL MORNING to bed them down (a job that took anyone decent half an hour to an hour depending on the number of calves). Giving them more money doesnt work either, as soon as they've got that pay rise they're thinking about how much the next one should be and when next week they should ask for it...

Nothing better than flipping out and going batshit crazy. Clears they air. Mostly involves quad bikes and speed......I do take it on my self to have “quiet words” from time to time ..... but I also have a nuclear option that they are aware of.
What’s the phrase? Speak soft but carry a big stick ..
