The hot jams that keep you employed in sticky situations. Just like Pete Sampras here.

It’s an hour into the all-staff meeting and the office manager is mesmerizing the audience with tales of your company’s latest revenue growth.

There are whispers among the crowd: “He’s so brilliant,” “He is so creative,” “His Polo cologne hides his body odor so well”

Suddenly, a cell phone breaks the love fest and everyone turns to you as you start to fumble for your Blackberry.

Should this nightmarish situation happen to you, here are the Top 5 ringtones that will be music to your boss’s ears – and keep you on the payroll.

5) Rollout (My Business) by Ludacris – Confidentiality is tantamount to any company’s success. Let your boss know that you take it seriously by showing you tell everybody on the outside to “stay the f**k up out my business.” (youtube)

4) Work It by Missy Elliott – Show your boss you can multitask by proudly letting him know you “put my thing down, flip it and reverse it.” As a follow-up you can let him know you are flexible on the projects you undertake by ringing “Is it worth it, let me work it.” (youtube)

3) Bombs over Baghdad (B.O.B) by Outkast – Chances are your boss is a Republican. Show your support for Big Business. Just make sure it’s not queued up the line, “Got a son on the way by the name of Baboo”. Your cover will be blown. (Youtube)

2) She Works Hard for Her Money by Donna Summer – The ideal ringtone if you’re an overly ambitious female hoping to make a good impromptu impression. It didn’t take the top spot on the simple fact that when assigned to a man’s phone it means he is either gay or not straight. (Youtube)

1) Working for the Weekend by Loverboy – How can The Big Guy deny you for this one. Let him know you have no problem working for the weekend, even if you plan to still be drunk while doing it. (youtube)

Which ringtone do you think would pay dividends with your boss?
