Discussions about Hiring and Hiring Practices

[MaryLouW]

One thing to keep in mind when you see that a person is pretty slow. They may be new users. I hired one yesterday that was incredibly slow. I checked her level - she was level 9. So, I just let her go and did something else. If she had been a level 80, I would have hired another person to help. I did ask her if she wanted help, she didn't.

I have learned NOT to say that I'll hire them to harvest, then plow. I only hire to harvest. If they are doing a pretty decent job, I ask them mid-way through if they want to plow. If they're doing a bad job, I am conveniently not at that site when they finish and stand there yelling "plow".

When I am at the MP, I make it very clear that I will harvest or plow crops, but I will not do trees, flowers, or fish. People sometimes ignore that and when they want to hire me to harvest and do trees, I decline and restate what I will-won't do. I wish more people would do this because you can't tell the hiring farmers from the ones looking for work and a lot of time is wasted trying to hire someone. Maybe they should split the room - hiring on one side and workers on the other!

I have always thought, and posted, that they needed to split the market place in half. One market to sell your goods (or let you sell it from your farm) and another for hiring. Then, only allow hiring from your farm or the hiring market (not the Inn, the Realtor or the selling Market). That would solve the issue of getting hire requests when you go to sell things.
