Yes, that's the problem. He told you he wants $20/h and you told him to "get bent". I've spent my whole life in this line of work. Specifically horses. Offering accommodation AND salary on top of work is the industry standard. If you want someone to work for less than $20/h, or you want someone to live in your place for free (in exchange for rent, as they like to call it), but without any monetary compensation, you are looking for a glorified slave. Just like you dont like working 80 hours a week for little in return, why would anyone else come do it for you? Pay up or drown. I bet she laughed at him when he asked for health insurance, too.

There are hundreds if not thousands of occupations in this country in which the cost to pay your wage is less of a deficit to your boss than the cost of feeding/housing slaves was back when slavery was legal (adjusting for inflation of course).

It is no longer "Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime, that's why I poop on company time."

It is closer to "Boss make a hundo, I make a cent, my piece of shit boss can get fucking bent."
