[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 6203132, member: 54866"] The very worst kind of place to work is one where they don't have a care for or any concern for costs, efficiency, profit or ambition. Where they don't forsee the need to change or do anything differently. Or where staff are treated like mindless drones who need to be set to each task every day with no idea what the plan is overall or what the remainder of the week entails. I cannot think of anything worse. I worked for a man who was the total opposite of that. Upon starting I was handed a huge bunch of keys and a map of the farm itself and two contract farms we covered. In a room adjacent to the farm office there were a collection of drawers, in which you could find every manual or parts list for basically every piece of kit on the farm. I worked with 3 other older and more experienced guys, basically the boss would leave a list of stuff that needed doing and we went off and did it. The foreman or oldest guy would keep us updated if anything changed. A list of fields to be subsoiled or cultivated or ploughed etc. It was dead easy. No messing around in the morning waiting to be told what to do. Just found the list, updated what had been done yesterday and hopped into the next machine and off to the next field. The boss didn't even have to be on the place. [/QUOTE]
