If you've ever worked in an industry with technicians or mechanics, you know there is one rule that must be followed: Never (NEVER) touch their tools—or tell them how to organize and manage them.
This is true even if the company provides the tools, but it is especially true if the mechanics buy and use their own toolsets. As one commenter cleverly pointed out on the original thread, this story was shared: Asking a mechanic to organize or tidy their tools so that you can borrow them is like your friend asking you to keep your car clean in case they want to borrow it. That's the type of behavior that will earn you a dirty look at best—and probably also needing to find a new friend or mechanic.
This "nepo baby" new manager, whose father happened to be a member of senior management, decided that this mechanic needed to organize his toolbox so that the tools were easier to find when he, the manager, wanted to use them… This is a bold order to give anyone, but these were the mechanic's own tools that he bought and paid for. When the manager tried to strong-arm the mechanic by giving him no work, hurting the commission for jobs he would be receiving, the mechanic locked up his tools and left, leaving progress in the shop at a standstill.
