I had to share this this morning. The man that owns the barn that I work at, last week, firede one of the stable workers because "funds are low." In his place he brought in his deaf son who is a total "daddy's boy." The man is 34 years old and can't pick a stall (though he has been shown how for four weeks), he is a danger around the stallions and has all the horses in the barn jumpy. Well, today "Daddy's boy" tells us he has an appointment five minutes before he had to leave. I have a horse coming in today from out of state and I am getting ready for show season so I don't have anyone t cover him. I told "Daddy" about the problem and he said "That is just the way it has to be." Why the heck did he fire my RELIABLE help for this worthless individual. The boy has a drug problem and feels sorry for himself all of the time. I do not need this! Any advice? I do not care if I ever see him again. I dan't care if he works here or not but even though I am the GM, I cannot fire him! OHHHHHH I just want to tear out my hair!! ![[Flaming Mad]](graemlins/flamingmad.gif)

God forbid that I should go to any heaven in which there are no horses.

I can totally relate to where you are coming from. I won't get into it-but reliable help is SO hard to find, especially in the horse industry and a lack of it can often mean a decrease in business on the facility's part.
I think you need to relay this to the owner (if you have boarders/clients)maybe they should also voice any concerns. Make him see that he is making a huge mistake that could influence his reputation.

maybe you shouldswitch stables. If you told your boss that its not working out, he knows his son is not a good person for the job. So, if he wants his son to work with you, and you leave to another stable...its his own fault that his job is going down in business....(im justthinking ahead.)
Im NOT saying thatyou need to switch stables, im justsaying thatit might be a good carear move for you

Thanks for letting me vent! Sometimes you just have to get these things off of your chest. I guess I shouldn't write angry but I just had to let it go. I am sure things wil work out for the best. We have always been able to work around these things before, we will do it again. Thanks for listening.
