You are totally right about staff especialy Agency staff this is why I have now semi retired, I dont mean to pick on agency staff but 98% are on an agency for a reason.

[@MayorofDipshittery-lq7if]

All my staff had been with me for up to 45 years, this type of experience is irreplaceable and you soon learn that when you start interviewing their replacements. That’s why I got out too.

I was driving an 08 plate Massey which my boss bought brand new along with another Massey. Work this out. I was pulled for driving the tractor which wasn't on a registered number plate with DVLA. Once all that was sorted. The tractor became registered on a 58 reg. But purchased and working before September 2008. 🤔🤔🤔

This weekend consisted of dog walking, watching rugby and getting peace from the wife who has abandoned me for the sunnier climes of the Canaries.

Having done my fair share power washing plant machinery off as an apprentice fitter, for good few years it can seem like meaningless task but it’s very important like I use tell people who came after me starting at bottom run it can help with your attention to detail spotting damage or repairs needed on hire stuff and there’s one way up from there if do good job, but it seems these days people don’t see potential to move up within company or take pride in an even such what seems thankless task, I’ve even heard companies having to pay a daily attendance allowance on top of wages for doing job, amazing 😂 that parade video of Ollie Gunn’s was brilliant done ,

[@kris_shutler]

You get great satisfaction out of cleaning stuff. I know through experience that cleaning a tractor, telehandler or implement can take a great deal of time but the end result can be better that brand new. I worked 7 days a week on a beef farm and my tractor was filthy through the routine schedule i had. I was feeding out through 5 farms. 2 farms and a 3 farm setup 20 mins apart drive. Plus hauling feed from two locations to base. 6am start and working til the job was done

[@davidkellet1006]

I used to powerwash walls and they were worse on my back than machinery I'm waiting for MRI scan as I'm buggered

Just the normal working on my car getting mechanical work done so when the weather gets better i will be rust treatment underneath my 20 year old ford focus so i won't have to get the welder out for years its very true the younger generation don't want to do a hard day's work i had to from the age of 14 my grandparents raised me that way you want some thing then work for it and I've been in the welding and fabrication trade for 25 years but my knees are shot with arthritis so don't work full time now and only 45 years old ☹️

Your right what's is the matter with people at very least phone in then boss can organise something 😮 When i was 14 I used to go around farms washing tractors/machine's for a £5 now I'm older I offered my neighbours child 20 quid To wash my tractor and he just laughed and walked away lazy. Bastard

Amazing. Maybe I should offer £100 a day bonus plus wages. To get a keen person It’s the lack of manners I find hard to deal with

Who pays for the tractor to move the other trailer 😂😂😂you arnt serious. You have got them to admit they were wrong that’s as good as it gets i am afraid. Just the same if one of the lights your electrician fits fails in a month. Wholesaler replaces the fitting but the electrician takes the hit on his time to replace it. Trades get do fed up of replacing faulty equipment with nobody paying for their time and travel

[@tomvalentine9985]

People can have bad luck with staff Michael but if you want reliable employees it's worth investing in your own recruitment programme rather than going through an agency. Are you capturing people that have a genuine interest in farm/plant machinery as the core of your business? That might be a good starting point and then like any managers job it's to create an environment in which people want to excel and then give them the tools, training and freedom to do so. You may have a point about the standards of a generation but what are you doing to raise those standards above and beyond just passing someone a pressure washer lance and paying them an hourly rate?
