what's your best "insecure boss" story?

The image is formatted in a tweet with image format. The caption says "handle with care" over two pictures. The first picture is of an Amazon package with "fragile" written in sharpie. The second picture is on the inside the box with a paper and the text "a middle manager's ego" on it.
I’m currently working on a cleanup project, and another manager with whom we closely work volunteered some of his people to assist.
After providing a status update to my manager this morning, I let him know that I was unsure of the status for one of the people from the other team. I hit her up on teams earlier and asked, but she’d been away for over 22 hours and hadn’t responded. He tells me to call her, so I do, and leave her a voicemail.
“Call until she answers. No answer is unacceptable unless she’s on PTO.”
If you were able to give a response not dripping with sarcasm you're a better person than I.
