Heinrich Sr. is a classic micromanager. They don't believe anyone knows as much, can do as much, or do anything correctly other than them. They tend to make up their minds about people quickly and it's nearly impossible to change their opinions through good behavior. I've had bosses like this (thankfully not ones I'm related to), and the only way to escape this kind of tyranny is to move on. I know Rick has strong roots, a house, old friends, but I don't see him coming into his own in this town, with this father/boss.
