He may be inexperienced but knows how he wants to be treated. I myself am 19, work at a machine shop that makes sprockets. I make mistakes but my boss doesn't charge me for them. Sometimes he sure as hell gets pissed and yells, but later that day he'll be joking with me again. Best advise he gave me was when I was working on an expensive peice, was how much it cost. He trusts me to make expensive parts without mistakes, and that's the way it should be. Only time it's hell at the shop is when he takes off and his brother and another co-worker are incharge. They contradict eachother and take it out on me. One time his brother accused me of purposely breaking drills and scrapping parts and threatened my job. Once my boss came back he straightened things out.
I guess where I'm going with all of this is this: Yes, the boss is the boss, but mistakes happen and shouldn't be payed for by the employee, espesially if it's new to him. My boss always gave me respect, even when I was 17 and didn't know anything past the south bend lathes at the high school. Now the only thing I'm not doing is CNC, but I make a lot of single peices and custom orders now which takes more working knowledge than pushing buttons. His boss doesn't sound like he ever cut him some slack, which aint right.
