Slave Labor?

[89notchback]

Had a guy show up to interview for a job, seemed to know his stuff, but a little rough around the edges, needs to be trained on on a few things, but i felt he might have potential. He's been outta work for almost 2 years, so I offer $25.50 per hour to him. His responce- "maybe you didn't see what color my skin was, I don't work for "slave labor" rates" I kindlely asked him to leave my building before I had him removed.

I was in total shock, if the amount was too low, give me a reason to offer more, but with that responce I would gladley pay that to someone who doesn't know anything but wants to learn then to someone with that thought.

Am I wrong? I dont know, like I said I'm still in shock that someone would say that. Call me dumb I guess

Holy shit sign me up!

PS. What a prick. Guess he doesnt notice the world around him?

$25 a hour Ill be right over

doing what?

[shawnc16]

Probably a good reason why the asshole has been outta work for 2 yrs with an attitude like that. I see 40+ yr old men delivering pizzas.

No wonder he had been out of work for so long.


I'd kill to have a job paying $20 an hour let alone $25.50.

I couldn't and still cant believe it either, like i said if the amount was too low then counter offer, dont spill that crap out of your mouth, even more so because he or whom ever fills the position will be dealing with our customers direct when in the field and working on their machines. I can't imagine the calls I would have received if I had hired him.

He must have been one of those "delusional" types expecting to earn a $100,000 salary.

You know how to work on machines and read / understand elecrtical prints, trouble shoot CNC machines? my door and position is still open, come on over, and no i dont care what color your skin is.

That's easily $55k a year. Delusional.

$100,000 grand is easy to make. The guy I'm subbing work to now made $637,000 last year, my calls alone, so yea you can make a ton if you are the "right" guy
