I’d agree with you. Rent him the deal and lease him the equipment. Let him run it. Pay yourself the $200,000 and benefits. Why don’t you just ask him what he wants to be paid? I bet he won’t say 200,000. Get a timeline, ask him what he needs, show him you appreciate him once in a while. Probably all it takes. I’ve see people everyday making more than ever thought and they are still disgruntled and it mostly comes from being tossed a paycheck but treated like a stray dog most of the week. And concrete laborers making a $70/hr package have long winters on unemployment and short weeks due to weather, drive all over the place. It’s just not as black and white as it seems. Plus you’ll rarely find a guy who really knows his benefits package so just deduct a little for typical over compensation.
