At what point do you decide to go over your bosses head?

Yeah, he's acting like he's in some isolation cage where his boss is his only contact to the rest of the world.

There HAS to be another manager or HR person he can go to with his concerns. If not, there has to be a suggestion box or someone he can address his concerns with.

who knows, he might work for military/gov servicing company.

never understood this. Hours/days-in-week/days-in-year. If you are going to include a 'days in XXX' why do it twice? Isn't 24x365 enough? Do NOC folks think others cannot understnad that by covering 365 days [a year] this includes all days of the week?

Because it doesn't always mean all 7 days a week. I work in IT where we have systems that need to be up 24x6x365, meaning we can do maintenance on Sundays all day if need be, but that schedule is for all 365 days of the year. We also have 24x6x365 with the 7th day needing to be up 20 of those 24 hours. It does matter and is important to have all 3 numbers, 24x7x365 or whatever as a designation. It's one of those things that when you work in the business you find important to include.

You really have only 1 option, go above his head and at least try to save your job, if you don't you have a good chance of losing your job anyways, better of at least trying something
