Even better when the thing eventually breaks

If it's going to be your problem no matter what, start making offline backups of your email account, and print out the email conversation where the bossmang rejected the fix. Make sure your HR rep is present on every meeting, ~~even~~ especially if it makes the people uncomfortable.

(this assumes that you live in a place where employee protection laws exist, i.e. it might not work in America)
