35/ He also turned a courtesy on my part (giving him and his guys a pitcher full of lemonaid) into a power dynamic, where he would TELL me that the pitcher was empty, and EXPLAIN that he would just go into the kitchen and get glasses. This also fed into the Come to Jesus moment

36/ The New Policy made things tolerable... ish... for the last two years, but even with that improvement....no, I'm done. A few days here and there to train others, but our time together is almost entirely over.

37/ I told him back in February "hey, you're overloaded with work, and this year is pretty slow at the farm; I'm having XXX do weekly lawn mowning etc; maybe just 1 or 2 big projects for you: X and Y for a few days each" >>> https://twitter.com/SnekeanRemoval/status/983441398828601344 …

38/ You can see that his response is... not fully engaging in my statement "I've got another guy; there may be ~ 4 days of work for you this year". Notice how he tells me that he's looking to recruit more guys for his crew. Why? Because he's ignoring the facts on the ground.pic.twitter.com/QNQ0ImGmns

39/ He's gonna show up for the 1 day of work, and then tell - not ask me - what he's going to do when he's back, and explain that ACTUALLY I probably want to do project XYZ and he'll start it tomorrow. And I'll tell him "finish this task today or tomorrow, then leave".

40/ I get lots of advice like this. And I understand where it's coming from. Life is trade offs. e.g.: you've got 4 paddocks but you need 5 bc pigs arrive in ~5 weeks, so you need to subdivide. X has run fences before. Y hasn't. It's a 2 man job. What to do? https://twitter.com/B30wu1f2/status/983446118498435072 …

41/ One answer is "work along side good farm hand". OK, valid...but my hourly rate >>>> $10/hr, so that costs me hundreds if not thousands of dollars in opportunity cost. Another is "hire someone new". OK, who?

42/ Yes, I can put up a flyer at the local hardware store. Asking for help. ...for one day. Maybe two. Then I can be interrupted by phone calls, have to check references, have to deal w someone new...and someone not fully trusted.

Everyone who has theories about How To Do Things should run a firm for 15 years.
