I agree with SQLBob in that I would never want to work for that person. Maybe someone can get this thread under their nose...maybe they'll listen to a chorus.

If I did happen to find this person as my supervisor then it would be clear that the person needing their resume to be dusted off would be my supervisor, although that would not stop me from continuing to take log backups during full or diff runs because I have a suspicion that a person like that would never cop to their own edict and instead would invoke a resume-generation-event for me. I would be fine saving theirs and my job in the process, and potentially the company's behind too, despite the ridiculousness of it all.
