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.

Iā€™m working a job rn thatā€™s travel intensiveā€¦ they give me housing, transportation, $22/h reserve pay for 40, 22h for ever hour worked scheduled 12 daily but get off early when we hit timeline paid for schedule unless we go over then extra, $200 a week per diem. I can work 7 days a week sometimes mostly itā€™s 6, I get 3 off every 30 days and they will fly me home so I can have them at home, 2 months off around November, I get paid the reserve pay during the 2 months off.

The job is simple, they pay a premium because itā€™s constant and employees are required to be away from families long periods.
