2/ Given his behavior last fall, I've mostly replaced him with Farmhand Two, who is super polite and nice...but less organized and skilled. This is OK, bc this year has less complicated tasks (e.g. shed construction, pouring concrete) and more mowing / shoveling manure / etc.

3/ ...but we do need some fences installed, and this is (a) a 2-man job, (b) something that Deposed Lead Farm Hand was decent at. So I may bring him back for just a few days. This involved negotiating w Newly Promoted Farm Hand...who dislikes Deposed Farm Hand.

4/ Many people dislike Deposed Lead Farm Hand, for a variety of reasons: * he's hit on people's wives ("but she's poly, so she CAN'T not be interested in me!!!") * he reduces everything to dollars ("how much for your wedding ring?" [ NOT AN EXAGGERATION ]) * he one-ups people

5/ * if he's laughing at one of his jokes at your expense, obviously it's objectively funny, and you should be laughing to * he overstays his welcome * he's gotta be the smartest guy in the room, even when he's the third smartest guy in the room

6/ * his approach to every discussion is negotiation, and his approach to every negotiation is wearing you down by refusing to listen * manners are something for other people; he's "efficient"

7/ I got angry at him all over again while boiling maple sap yesterday. I told him a dozen times I wanted the sheds framed with nails and sheathed with deck screws. He argued & argued & argued for ... I don't know...some other stance And, of course, he !@#=-ing did it his way

8/ Newly Elevated Farm Hand stopped by this morning for 30 minutes to catch up, talk about this season's work. We spent 5 minutes talking about tasks and 25 minutes bitching about Deposed Farm Hand.

9/ Believe it or not, Newly Elevated Farm Hand (who's half Asian) did not enjoy being referred to by Deposed Farm Hand as "my Asian slave laborer". Crazy, right?

Replying to @MorlockP
Every time you reveal new detail about DFH, I realize that you have been underplaying what a shitheal he is. I know there’s prob a lack of hands around. But I wouldn’t let him back on the property...

I'd pump up the new guy before, during and after those days too; lest he drop his tools and says F-it. (speaking from experience).
