I am in the same boat!
It is awesome that you have a boss who will back you up like that (I remember you have shared other stories about dealing with dickheads too). Most bosses will throw their employees under the bus.
Boy my old boss would throw me under the bus in a heartbeat if he was buddy buddy with a contractor etc.
I was the on site set of eyes to keep tabs on contractors and the shenanigans they are always trying to pull. A flooring contractor on a 100k project got about 30' of a border line crooked as can be. He apparently saw me notice it because when I brought the big boss in to look at it, conveniently all of their tools and materials had been moved on the the area of poor Craftsmanship. The big boss turned a blind eye to the situation so informed admin I had made my last trip over there to inspect progress on that job, and I would not be giving approval on money draws or final approval before paying the contractor.
The part that set me off was when the lead guy on the crew smarted off and said the job would go quicker if I'd stay out of there. My coward boss would not respond to the comment so I washed my hands of the whole job.
Morning guys.
You all have been busy over the weekend. I didn't even get a chance to commemorate 5700 pages of scrounging and other stuff!
Happy Heavenly Birthday to Zogger, he would have been 73 today.

My brother (Matt's Dad) is (among other things) and engineer (PE). He was responsible for a parking lot project in Peekskill NY.
When he tested it, he determined they used the wrong grade of concrete for an elevated parking lot. He made them rip it all up and re-do it. They were furious, but it is now done right!
He also designed the water runoff system into the Hudson, which eliminated decades of flooding. He was tasked with doing the near impossible ... making water go uphill! He designed a system that uses water from a larger stream to develop a venturi that sucks the water from the smaller stream uphill.
A lot of the businesses down there treat him like he walks on water, as they had been dealing with flooding for decades!
Whew!!!
How many saws in your collection?
That's great.
The city engineer for our town couldn't flow water downhill if his life depended on it. Worthless just like the city administrator.
At my work many people don't "work to live", they get it backwards and it shows.
I stopped counting, lol
Maybe your scummy boss was taking kickbacks.
The original 346XP is,a 46cc saw with no primer bulb. The 346XP New Edition came with a 50cc motor and a primer bulb. I never owned the early saw but have had 3 of the NE saws. For a small saw it can rip thru wood. I should have kept one of my 346XPNE saws. I sold my last two after buying a 2nd Gen 550XP.
Unless you are smart enough to construct a working venturi.
The venturi effect over the wings of an airplane enables it to fly. It is also what draws the fuel into a carburetor. The fuel pump just pumps to the fuel bowl. The level of the fuel bowl is determined by the floats, just like in a toilet.
If it can lift an airplane, it can lift some water!
To make it do something other than go downhill takes an intervention. Gravity sock, some sort of pumping device, indeed, your venturi effect. My point was if all you need it to do is flow downhill, an engineer may be unnecessary. Hence, supporting svk's estimate of their City Engineer's level of usefulness.
And next week (after we absorb this week's lesson) we can learn about capillary action, and why there are so many lakes near the top of Mountains!
Is that why my elbow is wet an hour after I dipped my shirtsleeve in the sink?
Me thinks there was an awful lot of that in that place.
