Been in business all my life,50 years. If an employee can't make me twice what i pay him, he's useless other than getting the work out. If talented and smart he will have his own shop. In all those years and maybe 100 workers, there where two that I could trust not to burn the place down and have the work done. iMO The only "good" employee has some type of baggage attached to keep him from leaving. The last twenty years I just did it myself without all the headaches and regs you have to put up with($$$$)
