I PMd you my email. Dad was a pretty strict rotation guy forever. I’ve been trying to push because frankly I can’t afford to fallow, big part of 2019 being 2019 was dad switched a bunch of acres out of rotation. I’m pretty efficient on the technology for our size but don’t utilize any telematics. Lots of GIS though. I’m pretty decent on the nuts and bolts of practical application of different technology systems. Shoot me an email. I can get you some end user perspective and if I’m too small I can point you to some guys that are big. We aren’t the corn belt, but frankly we have to manage better in a lot of aspects because we can’t make margin like they can. They have some stuff we don’t have to worry about, too. Shoot me an email. |

Don’t make any rash decisions on the job front just yet. Some of the feelings might settle down. Much like 3rd grade (assuming 3rd grade settled down). |

I've experienced it. The same thing every day. Go to work, listen to people be a pain in the ass, listen to employees bitch about everything. Go home. Make dinner. Walk dog. Hang with fam. Go to bed. Same shit next day. I seriously thought about going back to school for something totally different. I was in my mid 40's.
I started walking at lunch, making knives at home, fishing more, hunting more, and not listening to the bitching at work. Basically I quit giving a **** about someone else having a bad day because I wasn't gonna let it affect mine. I'm 53 now and much better. I'm taking more time off work too. |

I finally realized recently that holding on to an employee too long is a problem. Moving on and doing things different now. |

I've been in the workforce for 30 years. I have found, all too often, that employers are really bad at sitting down and setting expectations with their employees and following through with them. We overlook, ignore, make exceptions, etc for poor performance in order to make our own job easier, so we don't have to confront and actually "manage" our employees. You end up kicking the can down the road too far until the situation becomes completely untenable. If you set clear expectations upfront and manage them along the way, it is much easier to attain the expected performance or to move on. jmho |

I've seen plenty of employers run off very good employees by treating them like garbage while in the same breath bitching about how they can't find good help anymore.
Shit goes both ways. |

All CP BS aside, CP is not good for people who are in a place where they are feeling down. A break from all social media and maybe all media is in order when these feelings come, IMO. One of the best things you can do for yourself is to unplug.

Truth right here. I disconnected quite a bit this spring and early summer. Went and did things to periodically escape from reality.

I'm about to take a bit of a sabbatical myself, probably until the season fires up. Need a break. |

I did this very thing a couple of years ago and it's absolutely great advice.

That is everything imo. I was part of a village that worked together and looked out for each other. There was even plenty of room for village weirdos like me. If I could have a situation like that my whole life, I don't think I would need much else to be content. |
