Discussions about Hiring and Hiring Practices

I like to harvest fruit trees. I, however, do not have any "tools" because I don't have the money to be buying them to play the game. On more occasions than I can possibly recall, I'll be on a farm, minding my own business, harvesting the trees, and a person with "tools" comes through and harvests EVERYTHING, leaving nothing left for me to do. They take ALL the work! And they don't CARE. I cannot compete with folks that have tree shakers. It just happened to me a few minutes ago. I am getting very fed up and will probably stop playing altogether. The playing field has become unfair.

I personally have tools and understand what you are saying... sometimes when i am hired i do look for other workers but if i can't see them in the trees, i assume noone else is there and harvest them all with my tools and see someone without tools working. It makes me feel bad that i have hogged all the work. if i see someone without tools working, i only do a few then leave the rest. People with tools are not necessarily hogging all the work. They just don't see you. I have a ton of trees that need harvesting daily and chopping. If i ever see you at the marketplace I will be happy to hire you to do them...

Thanks On many occasions I have asked the person with tools to leave me some work but they carry on. I have run across some who will leave some of the work for me, but they, unfortunately, are the exception not the rule. I know there are lots of nice folks out there, I just haven't run across many lately. Hope to see you at the marketplace

I understand! I have been with out tools and had that done! Then when I got tools I found if I work every other farm I don't take away from the person with out. I tell the one with out if they want my help just yell. But we have all started from zero and some of us need to remember that!!! And I would be happy to work for either of you as well as be neighbors!!!

Thanks Sandy. You are one of the exceptions

When I hire and get to mult farms I see my own name with a check box. What's up with that and why don't the dev's feel they need to tell us?

Yah unfortunately this happens way too often!! I personally have tools ( which I very recently finally gave into ) and I always make a point to either A. ASK the other person without tools if they have anything in specific they really want and would appreciate me not doing or B. Just only do half of the work so they have plenty for themselves... There are still some of us "polite and nice" people out there who still play the game...Hopefully u come in contact with more of us!
