Slave Labor?

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
 
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.
 
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.
 
$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
 
Ill go for it Call me crazy but pay me $20 an hour and train me for a better future. Not a greedy ass like that mo fo. Im Mexican too, you know we are hard workers too, Bwahahahaahaha

Hell, I'd work $15 per hour while training. What kind of idiot would pass up $50k a year in MI?

I wouldn't by choice go that low... Not saying this is for every business, but I have found that when you are hired in as a trainee or intern spot it makes it very difficult to achieve that financial status you were "talked" to about during the hiring process because they often throw in any and all hiccups/lack of experience tactic when it comes time to increase the pay. You basically have to kiss major ass and take a lot of shit for a while (1+ years) in order to get a small, almost unnoticeable, increase.

20/hr is fair for trainee/workers for this type of job and 25/hr is proper for someone with prior exp and or knowledge (degree/certs)

It IS a CNC position and not an assembly line or auto mechanics type of job

You talk like "CNC" is on the cutting edge and only a certain few know about it. I've been a CAD/CAM programmer for 4yrs and I have a degree for it and make $18hr! We're a dime a dozen in this economy and if the guy is that smug to turn down money like that he is obviously out of touch with reality.

It's not necessarily flipping hamburgers.
 
I would contact Michigan unemployment offices and let them know he declined employment.
10-1 says hes collecting unemployment compensation.
