well for a start, the upper management folks may well think your boss is doing the right thing (having done the same thing themselves), and form the opinion you are a trouble maker. And this opinion may get relayed to a prospective employer, when said employer makes enquiries.

scenario #2. Upper management agrees and hauls your boss over hot coals. Net result: one asshole ex-boss who now has a major grudge against you, and might "reach out" to bad-mouth you to prospective employers, recruiters, etc.
