Struggling to get or retain good staff ?

I've been thinking this boss farmers alter ego "not the boss farmer"

 

[multi power]

I think one of the reasons we give our herdspersons a house on the farm is so it is easy for them to get to the parlour on time for morning milking, at four in the morning no-one wants to have to get in their car to drive to work

And going out to check cow's before bedtime and any cow's needing help calving during the night
I certainly couldn't do my job if I didn't live on site

I am dying to know about this kid's background now.

I think he may have gone to school but not convinced by uni. He's a dab hand on the keyboard though, pretty clueless about business which can't be read on the internet or watched on utube.

Do you live or have relations in Scotland who are also on TFF?

Says it all really, I hate to pee on your bonfire but from your posts on here I hope those degrees were cheap, they have done SFA to further your career, just swell you naive arrogance.

You've written that thinking your opinion is important to me haven't you ?

So how come you are unable to find a management job? Are there none out there or are you looking to change direction? What are you interested in?

Actually feeling sorry for you, I only hope you don't act how your online presence perceives you.

If I worked in a sector, came on to arguably one of the biggest forums dedicated to it and got so ridiculed at every corner, I would take a look in the mirror and re calibrate.

I would love to hear from you in 10 yrs to see how your life plan is going.

I think housing is an issue especially if your farm is quite a distance from a town with cheaper houses, where are low paid staff going to live?
Almost all farms here provide accommodation.
Also many farms have only a few employees, many only one. How many other jobs have the business owner working alongside the lowest level employee?
It makes for an interesting relationship I think as both have very different perspectives on life and the job. Many people like to work with people at there own level as there's less feeling of being watched and lets face it more chance to have a moan about things

You may be surprised how many agree with me and Ive had quite a few PMs saying they agree with a lot in my posts but for what ever reason wont say so on the forum.
