Discussions about Hiring and Hiring Practices

[suenew]

Couldnt we give points on how well we were treated while helping on peoples farms. I do not like how you can work on peoples farms sometimes up to an hour and dont even get a thanks for the work you have done.

Why should we be thanked for doing our job?

I agree with this sentiment. I'm not saying that people should be rude or abusive, but why do people get bent out of shape over the whole please/thank you issue?

It's a fake internet game. We're harvesting fake crops on a fake farm. This has no bearing on real life. You hire someone to harvest crops, and they don't say anything. So what? It still benefits both parties.

Like I said, I don't condone abusive behavior, but I think people take this game a little too seriously at times.

What I hate is...people that want to chat while I'm working on their farm, or vise versa. If I go to the marketplace seeking work, that's all I'm after. If I'm at the marketplace seeking a worker, that's all I'm after, too. I don't mind a little interaction after I finish a job. But, good grief...some people want to chat the whole time I'm working for them, or they're working for me. Hope I'm not sounding like I'm anti-social, or anything. I'm just not a chatter when I'm workin' the pixels.

Umm, I dunno. Maybe it makes the world a nicer place?

That said, I won't refuse work for someone who doesn't say a quick thank you. If they're relatively efficient I keep them for all my available farms. However don't expect a "thank you", or "happy farming", or "this is the last farm yay" off me or anything else. It works both ways.

I always thank my workers for working. I do appreciate when someone chops all my trees or picks my flowers, I hate doing that.

it costs nothing to be polite but it makes the giver and reciever feel good
