Honestly: I would search for a different job. You can try inside your company to find a different boss or go for another company. Incompetent bosses are widely spread in the computer business. That kind of treatment is a clear sign of it. As one wrote, it could be a political thing, but I am not sure about that and also you need not to care, because on every side, the result for me would be, that I try to find a different job. Such bosses are the hell and nobody that is competent in is work deserves such bosses. Edit: This "hard enough" thing, is something, that is inside the heads of bad bosses and is spread by business-magazines like viruses. The thing is: A good developer should be honored to work hard enough, when he works 40hrs period. If the boss thinks, that he needs people working 50-60hrs, than in reality he needs morons that he can turn his whip on. The hours don't tell anything on the productivity of people. Some programmers make twice the work in half the time of others. And spending long hours means that you are exhausted and exhausted people are both, less productive and much less creative.
