And there is still a point at which your boss will stop looking out for you if they believe, or are explicitly told by their boss, that it is in their best interest to fire you, cut your hours, not give/give you a ****ty raise, hire somebody else to take certain of your responsibilities if the company believes that you or your position is not operating efficiently (which can result in all of the above), etc. Your boss might look out for you, but they will not jump on a grenade for you, and the power discrepancy means that you will be the one to suffer for it.
