DevOps Engineer Breaks Down

Just got off a call with my boss. He genuinely expect me to do the manual fix for each impacted machine. I am the only DevOps Engineer in my company. We have over 2,000 impacted machines. I told him that this was unreasonable and bordering on illegal as it would take me at least 48 hours straight just to mitigate the outage. He got extremely mad and cussed me out for like 10 minutes to just "do my job" and shut me up every time I tried to interject. I abruptly left the call because I started tearing up and have had 27 unanswered calls since. He's even calling me right now. I don't know what to do. He told me even if I quit or get fired I still have to fix this outage or else I'm liable for a lawsuit. I'm just sitting here shaking. What do I do?

A crying Wojak-style figure accompanies a long anonymous tech-worker post about a boss demanding that the only DevOps engineer manually fix more than 2,000 impacted machines. The boss threatens and berates the employee, who leaves the call in tears and panics about being sued. The joke is the exaggerated depiction of impossible workplace demands and corporate abuse, used as a reaction to overwork, burnout, outages, or unreasonable management.
