Several employees did not get along with their co-workers. One worker quit because he got lonely working by himself in the milk parlor. However, another worker left because there were others working in the parlor and he liked working alone. Relations with management. A couple of workers who were fired had no idea why.
Few workers quit because of the quality of their housing.
One worker who got married, however, did report leaving to find more adequate room. Most of the comments under this category centered on the distance between housing and the dairy, or housing and town. This problem was accentuated for those who did not have a car or driver's license. Working schedules and time off. One worker wanted outside work rather than milking.
