There are so many ways of making situations better than having a standoff attitude. I would rather leave a job instead of letting that job give me a paranoid feeling all the time. Life is too short and most people are most capable of doing better on their own anyway. For those who need to mark their territory and fight all the time, I assume let them have it because it is they who can't survive without someone else providing the work for them. Most of them are just a different kind of welfare recipient. I think many like to call them parasites.

Your grandfathers idea is a pretty good one.
