    We all have drank too much one night and been a bit late to milk them, I couldn't count on my fingers how many mistakes I've made since starting farming be it breaking things, silly mistakes, bad judgements etc. at least the lad turned up be it over an hour too late! I wouldn't be happy and I'd say it. No ones perfect!
    its different if i do it- which is maybe once every 5 years- if i am going drinking i make sure to have cover for the next morning, another annoying factor was he came in at 8.20 and still went for his breakfast as normal at 9.... anyways thats the end of my moan... thanks for the comments

    Were you ever an employee? It's completely different. Similar difference between being a tenant and owning the property yourself.

    I'm not saying your man should get off scot free, it just his behaviour doesn't surprise me given it is a manual labour job.

    Sure isn't that what the thread is for ;). Also some good HR advice from lads in the know so everyone has learned something.

    Like the guys that work with my missus at a table quiz they had 2 tables. First crew picked "buried in her" as their team name, their mates along side them went with "buried in her too" as theirs.

    I go away for a few days and I miss all sorts of bickering, verbal warnings, written warnings, final warnings, landmark posts, personal issues, and weather moans!

    Fairly big fellow:eek: was giving my lads a hard time in the school so I said to the head master that I had the hand brake on them. He said to let it off and he would deal with the outcome. Got a phone call this evening from the other kids mother. The 2 boys had beat him back into the classroom and kept him there for the lunch break and shes not happy about it. Dont know where she got my number from:confused: but I told her that it was the first I heard about it and I would talk to the boys and ask them not to retailiate next time he bullied them she hung up straight away.:D
