lets say you hire a gardener/lawnmower for $100/month. You agree that the laws be mowed every 2 weeks and general upkeep of the gardens be maintained. You go for several montsh with everything working just fine. The the gardener comes to you and says he doesnt want to mow the lawns anymore. Just upkeept the gardens. You say that you would really prefer the whole job done. He agrees.
Then he just stops mowing the lawns.. and still charges you $100/month.

What do you do? Is this fair?


Of course.. This is bike related.. There is no gardener but thats pretty much the story and i want to get peoples feeling around this whole idea before releasing the stigma which this is really about....

The initial contract/agreement is no longer being honoured. So fire him...

[Tank]

Simple maths.

He does less work = you get less service / product = he gets less money.

Fire his ass.

[Maha]

I agree with slofox, he is no longer needed because he is not doing the job required.

He wants to do less for the agreed amount?
Someones on the make and it aint the payer.

[cowboyz]

but what if you fire him and then you have to cover the insurance.. I mean the gardens yourself? And its 'common practice' for gardeners to make the rules up as they go along.......

[Maha]

Heaps of other insur.....I mean gardners around, let your fingers do the walking.

Get a new "gardener". My gf had exactly this situation - really with gardeners. Kicked the old one's arse out the door and got a newbie. Much better.

oh mr cyptic....you always keep the reader guessing as to what you're really on about.

right, gardener would get half the wages as he's doing half the work.....but, as he is so unreliable - get a new one! It's your money you choose which gardener will provide you with the best service. It's all about service.

there is no way i would commit public suicide by downing the godly insurance companies who many hold in such high reguard. Esp after my comments on the changing excess's for trackdays but in a nutshell.. My insurance has been dropped to 3rd party by the insurance company because I lost my licence. My broker doesnt know anything about it. If I hadnt been talking to my insurance co directly I wouldnt have known about it either. They suggested it when I lost my licence but I said no.. I want full cover beacuse what if someone else takes my bike out? My monthly payments havent changed. So paying for full cover and getting 3rd party instead.

Wrong? No.. Insurance companies can do what they want


(I never said anything against the insurance companies.. any reference to any insurance company or even the thought of reference to an insurance company is purely coincidental and we are talking about garderners)

Harden up, no legal action can be taken, its the fucken internet, we dont even know who you are Lan.....opps.

[Cayman911]

simply kick the gardener in touch and get a new gardener.

that just seems so wrong....i presume you have now talked to them directly as I'm sure they would not want to lose your custom but as you are not using the shovel/rake/wheelbarrow then surely the quality of service should remain the same. You are paying for this service so they should continue to provide said saervice. How did the provider come to know of your misfortune? Am interested to hear how this unfolds as I'm sure many others have been or could be in this situation in the future.....
