    I had a non-IT boss that used to power off and on an entire rack when one of their VMs acted funny, without notifying anyone. Some of the servers were production. I’m not sure a sign would help and dogs do not like the cold.

      Send boss a memo of the number of work-hours lost per month due to data loss caused by power-offs.
      Multiply each colleague’s lost-work-hours by their salary and sum it all in the end, telling the boss how much that’s costing the company.

      You your boss has a boss, CC them to make sure they know the reason for why your boss will be trying to set you up in the future.


      Oh, I just realised the “had”.
