The 4 foremen were "sick" for a week and suddenly we were getting paid $12 an hour and the regular workers were getting closer to $7 instead of 5 something.

The owner's salary compared to mine is directly related to the subject at hand. Besides, he grew his business on the backs of others. He started by paying undocumented guest workers and was able to do well because he was able to pay them next to nothing. Actually, he always did that. It's why I know basic landscaping spanglish. Mas e menos.
