[QUOTE="Mydexta, post: 9048471, member: 102"] A few employers seem to forget a basic life rule in my opinion speak to people the way you would like to be spoken to treat people how you would like to be treated. also, some need to remember that by paying above average wages doesn’t give them the entitlement to treat people like dirt. I know 1 non farming place who pays above average wages, and treats employees like dirt. If anyone went with an issue, they were told if you’re not happy, there’s the gate. a while ago, that idea worked as people were keen to get a job there for the bigger wages…..not now as their reputation precedes them as being arses to work for and they can’t get folk for love nor money. Round here, it’s nearly always the same farms looking for staff, and in my opinion, they only have themselves to blame. Some were using cheaper migrant workers rather than slightly more expensive locals…..now a lot of the migrants have gone home and there’s nobody to replace them. finding a farm to take on a 16yr old is near impossible, and the local College has scrapped its ag courses im told so there’s no encouragment or way into the industry people with staff retention or staff finding problems now, will find it a lot harder in the future I think [/QUOTE]
