[@jay-rus4437]

Everyone is so critical of Parker. Did he make mistakes in how he dealt with people? Yes....but he was just young and inexperienced. It takes many years to learn what his grandfather knew. Yes, its easy to say that he should have just listened to his grandfathers advice....and that is true....but also easier said than done. It just takes years of overseeing people to learn the skill and ability in how to effectively communicate and ultimately earn the respect of those you lead. At 26 years old I was put in a position of overseeing my first construction project. It was many years before I was able to oversee in a way that was effective.

[@jay-rus4437]

@Floyd1504 ....see that a lot in the comment section. Ive been where parker is. Today, in my late 40s and having managed hundreds of people....sometimes 100s at any given time....he just seems to be making his way through the nearly inevitable learning curve. Watch him today compared to two years ago and one can already begin to see his growth. Its tough to run a business. It seems easy for most on the outside looking in (this includes employees), but there are pressures that will never be understood until being the one holding such responsibilities. I left the corporate, project management, world many years ago. Since then I started a business and am continuing to progress. I cant imagine having the responsibility at parkers age. I made enough mistakes at a very early age just simply attempting to manage people...but add business owner on top of that is a pressure most cannot handle

Parker’s grandpa reminds me of mine. He was a really nice soft spoken guy that everyone loved too. A hard worker like Parker’s also. In Maine in the 80s everyone would pick potatoes during harvest. At 70 he’d pick 100 barrels a day, which is just insane

[@westjapartyside]

@@michaelarmannsson5559 i would estimate he'd get about half as is the case with most mines, which is why it is still a lucrative job if you find good ground.. there is also a reason he has got this tv show i'm sure most machine costs are covered from his earnings from gold rush alone if not all and some fuel which means he gets to keep an even bigger chunk of what comes out.. that along with the soaring gold prices recently i bet he made a REAL pretty penny, most men working for him would be on a 3-6 month contract with the opportunity at a bonus if you perform above quota, they don't get a percentage of that gold and i am willing to bet they are not on more than 25 g US for their 3-6 months work, the bonus at the end for Parker would strictly be for tax purposes no doubt

[@Puhislayer655]

Hard to see rick and Parker part ways. With Ricks operating mindset and Parker’s leadership they mined more gold than the entire fleet. Parker is the boss and needs to continue what he’s doing whether it hurts his workers feelings or not. If you were paying people thousands of dollars and they kept slacking, breaking, and not listening to you wouldn’t you be pissed as a boss? People gotta grow some thick skin and soak it up and continue working. It’s not easy getting everything you want. you gotta work for it people. Best wishes for rick ness as a new mine boss for this fleet this upcoming season. Let’s go!

Ol' Gramps told him not to get angry and do conflict with his employees. Parker has a nose for being cocky and sarcastic and being to "bossy" sometimes. u can clearly see in later seasons that he is a little "powersick" sometimes. be the Boss u wanted to work for. he also have a tendency blaming others and even not listen to others opinions, thats not the Boss be, i bet deep down he know. treat people with respect and u will get it back, no riddle there. good luck, Parker, im still ofc watch the show, seen you grow to a real miner, and i really really really respect you for that! talent is rare, and here is a real gem!

[@OriginalPuro]

If you can't get help from someone younger but smarter and better at it, than you, without taking it person, you should find another job. As long as someone knows better you should listen to them, not take everything they say as truth, but you should absolutely listen, evaluate and be appreciative of the help.

2 million at 25 wouldn't be a good retirement 2 million with a cash flow of 10k a month is what you should want to retire on

2 million alone would probably yield nearly 10 grand a month on interest alone.

[@Kyle_Hubbard]

2M is more than enough, lol. You can buy massive houses with loads of land in the US for as little as 100K if you look hard enough and get lucky with the right time. Owning even a 200K house with decent land would still leave you with 1.8M. I don't know about you but I don't know how you'd spend that in 70 years. At most a few hundred K in bills in a life time and still around 1M left. To me you could happily retire on that. It's whether you want to make more. Sometimes people are happy with what they have and live out the rest of their lives on it.
