There's probably another angle that hasn't been mentioned here...resentment at the boss mans kid who is doing the scrapping. Even though the others get a little of the scrapping take.
I'm with SSaL...the guys are showing their attitude by their actions. And you can be guaranteed it is flowing through to how they do their main job. You can be guaranteed that a few more shop towels than necessary are being used, a few more nuts go out of the parts bin than needed, an don't get put back, etc, etc. Maybe even sloppy work on a customer's car.
The shop needs to be shook up a little. Fire the worst one's sorry backside outta there and the rest will either shape up or be ready to follow the first one.
I've been in similar situations to Jord...just a long time ago...when you're the bosses son, you gotta work twice as hard as the next guy to prove you are worth anything. And you still get treated like shzt. He's in a tough position.
Jon.
