When ownership is out of reach

Imagine working in the same garage for 23 years. That’s how long Rahul has worked at the Sunoco gas station at the corner of Washington St and Breck Ave in Brighton. He was hired at a starting salary of $400 a week. Five years later he got a raise and then earned $600 each week. He kept that salary for more than 10 years while raising two sons. When the owner died and left the business to his eldest, again Rahul got a raise and now earns closer to $800 each week. In a push to be more entrepreneurial, he’s offered to rent the shop at a fixed monthly rate so his pay would reflect his efforts to increase sales. The owners however insist their current arrangement is best.
