I think this guy purposely approached employment thinking he'd ge the best deal for his money. I think being underhanded is foolish...oh well.

Perhaps you could turn the tables and become a consultant that entertains project work and hourly contracts. You can also work from home or remotely. Word will likely get around that you can fill a void in for this type of service. You can approach CPAs, accountants and small businesses as many times they shy away from the "back office"/bookkeeping aspect of the business.
