Joe, when I first started working with my father over 30 years ago, I wanted to hire a guy who was an ex Matco Tool man, he wanted 650 a week plus full paid benefits and 2 weeks a year vacation. My father told me it was too much, but if I thought the guy was good hire him and it was up to me to pull the difference. At the end of the first week my dad told me to give Karl an extra 100 cause he was worth it. Not only did he pull his weight, but he was one of those guys that made everyone in shop better and helped me get better help.
