“Is that “theft”?”
It’s not being honest. It’s not making it clear to bosses he had more potential, which they obviously thought since they tried to pormote him but he (nephew) chose to slouch and stay in one position to do personal things on company time.
My understanding is if employee is on the clock they have responsibility to use that time for the company.
I’ll let you answer your question.

One is under no obligation to "make it clear" to the bosses that one has "more potential."
One is under no obligation to accept a so-called "promotion."
