Sounds like the boss made a wise business decision. When I was 17 I worked in a matress factory for about minimum wage. This one guy sewed up the matresses and he made more than anyone else (about half and again minimum wage. This guy thought he was king. During breaktime he would go on and on about how much money he made and about how little money the rest of us made. After I left that miserable place I eventually started making some pretty good wages. Whenever I got a raise and I felt my chest puffing up with pride, I'd think of that guy who thought he was king and I'd realize that I was a peon just like everyone else. You never ever begrudge anyone for making more money than you. If they find a way to work the sysrem to make more than me I'm all for it. Everyone in the world is making less than Bill Gates. That's one thing we all have in common.
