A quick google search brought this up...
Basically the fumes effects will differ depending on the particular resin being used, but there are no specific studies on long-term effects yet. The general recommendation is to limit your exposure as much as possible with most hobbyists only using them in well-ventilated rooms or even having a direct exhaust port in the room. If it was me, I would move into the boss's office and refuse to work at your desk until they address the safety concerns sufficiently. Yeah that's probably overkill, but if your boss isn't willing to expose themself to the likely health hazards then why should you?
I definitely don't think it's overkill.
If I'm not actively venting my resin printer, it will irritate my lungs instantly once i enter the room. Those fumes don't fuck around, and at least from what I've heard, the effects will actually get worse the more you're exposed over time.
