Sounds like what is needed is a 'Productive IT Infrastructure Plan'.
This plan would lay out all the things required for maximum
productivity:
1) Security
2) Backups
3) Fault Tolerance
4) All the other cruft that admins have to do...
Each point would need some quantification in resources/time. (Maybe also
some scare tactics with the cost of failures...)
This may be the tuff part, but you would then have to publisize/expose
EVERYONE in your chain to this document/plan.
That way when PHB tries to fire you, you can tell the PHB of your PHB
that your PHB prevented you from doing 1, 2 and 3 and made you focus on
4 to the detriment of the productivity of the company.
Who's up for writing the plan?
