I saw a lawn service mowing a yard that was so small they could barely turn their mower on the turf. This makes me wonder why a mowing service does not have a small consumer mower to handle random jobs

[@02intlbluebird]

Things are so much different up here in NH. I have a 2017 f350 duality towing my mow trailer and I have a driver chase us with my 2010 f350 dump at every mow account and I leave the keys in the ignitions unlocked where we park them and I have the jungle Jim equipment racks that don’t have a locking capability. Luckily no thief’s around here.

[@SourcePittsburgh]

Don’t do it. There will always be that unspoken tension. It’s what’s best for the both of you.

[@Fencearmor]

We are very excited to see you guys! The rain seems to be sticking around this fall, great work. See you at the GIE!

[@chrish9486]

I about died when Sassy looked at the camera with his glasses on!! Lol😂🤣😂

[@casonwilliams4553]

using the blower and driving the mower at the same time is expert level skill.

[@ChevySilver]

When people have great jobs, people tend to fire themselves.

[@stevenlazcano2733]

Best to move on from red. Bringing him back is totally disrespectful to sassy. And sets a precedent for future employees.

[@bjgarbacz1]

Can't wait to see y'all at the GIE+EXPO, happy to see y'all won't be there weds, I won't be there weds either lol there are these damn lawns that get in the way 😂😂😂🤣

[@irish6028]

I appreciate that Red had the guts to face you man to man, you could be his role model, sometimes we need second chances, have we never done anything wrong we regret???? Sassy is 110% loyal that's fantastic, Maybe Red needs guidance, yes I know your an employer not a counsellor,sometimes both go hand in hand, your business and you and sassy James are doing a fantastic job, just dropping my penny's worth...God bless you and James baby ninja and mama ninja.

[@davidsilverman9806]

Nick you probably wouldn't even stop at a red light in my neighborhood LOL love you Nick

[@ptaszek1983]

Great Video!!! Love watching your content. I enjoy nature minute with Sassy!!!

[@TheTWEEK95]

If you do hire him back you should put him on some kind of probation period where he is not allowed to miss a day unless he has a family emergency or proof that he is too sick to work.

[@michaelmichael8525]

Enjoyed the video as always Sensei Nick was going to mention something about no nature minute on yesterday's video but I got a double dose today from sassy so it all worked out see you guys on the next one ninja Mike out!!!

[@matthewwallis419]

Give him one last chance people tend to learn from mistakes

[@MatthewSerta1]

I might make a one time exception, despite what I said last night... but don’t let him make a fool of you again. Make sure to keep him in check.

[@BranDone-qv6qv]

Love you Nick. As you always say.. you only ask for loyalty, it isn’t asking much. You’re absolutely right, we all back you up 200% but I say mow on without him. 💁🏼‍♂️

[@davidmauersberger2671]

If you rilly want to save time drive backwards with the blades on let the mower do the work.

[@davidmauersberger2671]

Red can take the skills he learned working with you and go on his own. Even if he has to start with a push next year .

[@donovanrader4747]

I think the other guy gave red a crazy offer he couldnt refuse just to screw him over

[@mrdfarms9373]

Nick, there’s a lot of comments reaffirming what you already know. Employees come and go, there’s a reason why they are no longer employed by you. Time is money and you have no time to waste on BS with 25+ yards a day to do. Go back and look at photos from 2009, remember your humble beginnings and reflect on were you are today.......a business that you’ve built on blood, sweat and tears. You’ll make the right decision, because at the end of the day......there’s regular grass and then there’s NINJA GRASS!

[@bradvaughan4524]

I wish I could make it to the GIE. I would love to meet all of you personally. Great channel with great content.

[@Southwell_13]

I really want to go to the gie but it’s mid week and 6 hrs from me. Maybe next year. Ugh

[@markothevrba]

I hope Sassy gets some rest, don't want him leaving anytime soon.

[@elguere91]

Don’t Do It! There might be still some attention between y’all if he comes back. But hey that’s your company chief. He knew what he had and messed up. But still love watching your videos coming from Houston Tx. ✌🏻

[@sheilabowers7532]

Thanks for the video I really enjoyed it your friend Gman

[@nathantaylor01]

I knew staring down and refreshing YT would work 😂

[@fpplsoftwashpressurewashin8757]

I have rehired employees who have quit on me in the past and it had NEVER worked out the second go around. It is always so weird the second time. I would not hire RED back. Also, I am really surprised that Red has the balls to even ask for his job back. So my question is.......has Red's character really changed in such a short amount of time? I don't think so. He needs to grow up and stop playing people and get a clue.

[@hawktuft772]

Sassy is such a good person even if nick brings red back idk why he would be upset, and he wouldn't have anything to say unless nick asked. because he knows it's nicks business. That's just one of the reasons sassy is just so freaking amazing as an entertainer and employee!! He's also a Wisconsinite where the best ninjas come from😂

[@LawnsAndBeers]

I love me some Saving Green videos but I get no sneak peeks anymore.?. Loyal fan for over a year and will be loyal till the end!

[@CRice-ln8lm]

If you take Red back and he does't foul up again, you are way ahead. You know already how well he works. If he does foul up, you are just back to where you are now. Can you get more done in a day with three than the current two? Sassy is great but he is human and subject to getting sick as much as anyone else, so you have to plan for that. But do what works best for SG because the buck stops with YOU!

[@kyleeccles3019]

Where was the second nature minute 😮

[@discountlandscaping7603]

Give red a chance with hugh stipulations

[@TheUnsureFox]

Nick, I can definitely understand why you're on the fence about Red. However, I hate to see it, but I have to agree with the majority here. He has had his chance. The way he did you, it is time to move on. Best thing to do at this point is to pray for the man. I sincerely do wish him the best.

[@andyyates2807]

Remember now he fell off the Train . keep keep on going . I would say No!! But its your Business keep it real ..

[@forgioneandrew560]

I was thinking past couple days that you should rehire Red because you are going to have to rehire somebody at some pt and at least you know what kind of employee you are going to have with him versus have to semi train another person (regardless of him ghosting you)..............but I just happened to look back on the Sept 3rd video in which you went out of your way to make him and Sassy more than whole on their checks because you finished the prior week early short of 40 hours. Considering a month later he thought he could leave that situation for greener pastures after you have shown plenty of loyalty, I am thinking I am now in the don't hire back camp.

[@patrioticghost931]

I have alot of experience working for a small company it's my uncles electrical company. And he hired this guy who was on drugs he would be clean then relapse is was hard for him but me and my uncle did everything to help and working is helping keep his mind off of it now with red you said it was baby momma or just overly obsessive girl friend you cant just not hire him because of that now if it affects his work performance and from what I see it does not you really should hire him but lay down ground rules like rule one "red you need to control the woman tell her leave ya alone at work or ya done" rule two "dont talk about the woman while at work" and final "dont let her control your life pull your pants up and take the balls out of her purse"

[@lIVINOTAFRAID]

You did say he has been the best worker you've tried out. I say give him another chance to make the team again. 2 full months of work this time. He comes to work on time he puts in the effort and does what a man needs to...he's a ninja again. 2 months. If he really wants to be part of the team he'll do it

[@jonnyg44]

I've yet to see a stander last as long as a sit down mower...why I like sit downs...3000 plus hours. Never seen a stander do that. And don't rehire guys, I had a similar situation and dont think you can trust those kind of guys

[@bobbybrown614]

what about them do you think makes them not last as long? Looking into getting one. I have seen some around 2000.

[@MW3BOT]

There are guys that have said they run wright stander,the simple 52in fixed decks for 8,000 hours. Ed wright mentions it in one of his videos.....

[@jonnyg44]

@@bobbybrown614 no idea I just haven't seen any hold up. I have a lazer z with 3800 hrs on it still going strong.

[@jonnyg44]

@@MW3BOT I heard that. Problem is I cant use a fixed deck, but I assume part of the reason it has so many hours is less to go wrong with it. I go back and forth. I can buy a wright but if it lasts half as long it will hurt, I have low overhead because I generally go with reliability over anything else but am so tempted

[@MW3BOT]

@@jonnyg44 I have a 2006 36in stander. Almost at 3000. Runs great. Also have a 52in zk stander 1700hrs. I maintenance everything myself,I've had only one problem,replaced a solenoid. I'm also in Florida,wet and Sandy here with hot summers and insane humidity. I believe most problems people have with most machines is poor maintenance and user errors.

[@BigguyOO]

See YA Red!!! Being Honest is the only way to Live your Life.

[@KenW66]

But Niiiiiick, I know you're going to do what you do, and like you said; the train keeps going and if you fall off it doesn't stop. If ol' Red is truly sorry for doing you dirty then he ought to be willing to jump through a few more hoops to earn your loyalty back. 90 trial period, and the first no call no show he's gone, and that would be 90 days show up on time ready to work no drama no time off unless he clears with you one week ahead of time and if he gets sick he better have a doctor's note. Sometimes people deserve a second chance, but they should have to work for it.

[@nickgrizzell9896]

Flip a coin for if you should hire red back , sometimes it's the best way of deciding something . Heads he get one last chance , tails sorry red hope for the best for you .

[@jermainemolina8450]

Here wassup ninjas... The videos I wait for

[@scottwatson5767]

I would tend to agree with all the nae sayers, but I think this situation is a little different than most. If it were someone like pizza, oh hell no! Yes red did you wrong, he let this other clown get the best of him and probably promised him the moon and more and red fell for it. If it were me that had to make the decision to bring him back, there would be definite ground rules set. Any deviance from those rules would be immediate termination. Nick, I totally agree with your ethics and ways you run your business. But at the same time you do have a heart. We are rolling up on the holiday season. Take care brother and I know you will do the right thing for your business!!!!!

[@phillipelliott7373]

hi nick i say its up to you what you want to do nick you hire or not.Ill still watch your videos even if you dont hire him back you and sassy are two man team and hit the jobs hard and have time to show us alot good tips and i have to say is thank you and i hope everything works out for you.

[@Sara-L]

If time's a real pinch, just run your mower blades and use the chute to blow off curbs and the like. And - 13:53 - you're welcome. If you looked at Red's body language in the videos, you could almost tell something shady was going on. He seemed reserved, nervous at times, like he was hiding something. From the start I got a bad impression even though he seemed like a hard worker.

[@kaelemsgardenservices1745]

Good job

[@taylorjohnson7700]

I’m way behind on talks videos lol now I got to get caught up

[@darter216]

It's a tough decision about Red....glad I don't have to make it....Like I tell younger people at my work all the time, it's not always greener on the other side......let us know what you decide???

[@rickygranadoz9041]

Do you any more aerating and overseeing coming up? Would make for some good videos

[@sgninjas]

yessir

[@FUNNYBOY12375]

Plz record at gie show us what you think looks cool something you may invest in if you can plz

[@knifeniceguy]

Red was a good worker but i dont know about rehiring him i see your point about the other guy sabotaging Red but at the same time he knew what he was doing at the same time its a weird situation like i feel bad but i dont all at the same time its weird man

[@nativesailor2561]

You mean the Ladder wasn't a guaranteed thing?? Lol it is ultimately your choice if you do have him back it would be for you and the business.

[@CASG93]

Do you charge the customers the full % on credit card fees?

[@Bradmeiser]

Honestly I believe in 2nd chances If he was one of my guys i would hire him back with major stipulations and he would be dropped back down to "new employee" status and have pay put back as new hire rate. And at least a 60 day minimum probation period.

[@Bradmeiser]

@@diamondstripes678 True it's like the old saying goes "fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me" etc etc etc... I agree though if he done it once there's about a 95% chance he will do it again as soon as "something better" shows its face.

[@sevendwarfsgaming]

Honestly Nick since he did ya dirty he would do it again. Seen this before at my old job, and i even said not to bring them back.

[@lukewoodwalker6977]

If you are interested in my opinion, I would give red a second chance. If he was apologizing and saying sorry, I would give him one chance to prove it. But I also would make clear to him that it is the last chance. I mean everybody can screw up ore do mistakes. We all are humans with faults. If we never get a chance to make it better, how should we improve? Show him loyalty to teach him how it’s done right. Take heart. I would love to see him back in the backseat.

[@keliwelch5820]

What kind of haircut does sassy get?

[@nathantaylor01]

An undercut of some sort, I get something similar, short on the sides and back, longer on the top

[@affordablecutzlawnmaintena7177]

He talked that big boy stuff about loyalty then done you like that,ii wouldn't fill bad. You didn't do it he did.anyway its still on you and good luck with it

[@scottgraham5408]

James is one of a kind really seems like a all around great guy on the red subject he said video after video he was loyal it's your call but what's to stop him from doing this again just saying

[@Santos-nq6ub]

Got a ❤️ two times in a row by Nick. Third time is a charm?

I think some weedeaters have wheels on them now it could be doable

[@jrbvids]

Nick. Red may have done you dirty but wouldn’t you think he learned his lesson?? He was a hard worker and you liked him. I’d say you take him back in with some stricter rules. But don’t make him feel bad for this one situation that occurred. Don’t you have a 3 strike your out deal? Treat it as a major one strike got two more to go.

[@WARROR-vg9zn]

I know you have your mind made up on red but in my opinion I say give him one more chance but stick with what you said yesterday if he mentions any drama or anything like that cut him off

[@Matthew-wu9cm]

Come on Red!!

[@Michael426]

Iunno one hand sometimes people deserve a second chance but the other why lie? Why not just be honest and talk to you about it!? Common Red!!!

[@Northwesterncrabs]

Hey Nick but Nick can I have my free hug from SASSY Please?? But Nick is Red still Granny love seat LOL watching the videos?

[@chastyndall8876]

But nick hire him back 2 dollars less for 90 days make him pay for what he did and u make money

[@swamplife8197]

Don’t rehire him

[@garretthenning8262]

Yeaaaaaa!! Im in Louisville Kentucky!!

[@sharonbrown5030]

I subscribe

[@ferminvega858]

Yes

[@444chroma]

I would ask myself why Red didn't feel like he could talk to me about what this other guy was trying to cook up. Communication is super important. This stupid situation probably could have been avoided. I wouldn't even be mad about a guy chasing a better opportunity (if it was legit) but the fact that he just stopped communicating/no-show ..that's a big red flag. It's either a lack of character from him or the way you're coming off to him.
