Has anyone else ever set a special ringtone for that one boss you dread will call you? If so, what was it? (lemmy.world)

My last boss was labeled "THE FINAL BOSS" in my contacts. When she'd call, I felt sheer disappointment and dread when Sephiroth's theme, "One-Winged Angel" started playing.

My employer is in my blocklist. One of the assistant managers started calling me late Friday afternoon to remind me to come back to work on Monday. I informed her I don't need to be reminded of such things. She called again the following week. I'm surprised she hasn't used her personal number to circumvent the block.

I thought about this a few times at my last job, but unfortunately the job was solo work and if no one showed up, the whole contract would have been rescinded. My boss certainly abused my sense of responsibility, though.
