| Jan 7, 2022 at 12:13 | comment | added | gnasher729 | @DisplayName Getting a new phone number for my mobile phone is extremely unpractical. For example in the UK there are about five million people who need their phone number to prove that they have the right to work in the UK. | |

| Jun 17, 2016 at 13:16 | comment | added | user207421 | Standard operating procedure everywhere I have worked for forty years is that private phone numbers are not given out: the company takes the caller's number and contacts you with the information: then you decide what to do about it, if anything. Anything else is a major violation of your privacy and should not be tolerated for a moment, | |

| Jun 17, 2016 at 8:54 | comment | added | Mr Me | @Thebluefish Sometimes being nice and kind are the way to go - I am that way 99% of the times. But sometimes you do need to get angry. Why having to hide your feelings when someone violates your rights as this receptionist did to the OP. | |
| Jun 17, 2016 at 8:53 | comment | added | Mr Me | @SargeBorsch That is not a good solution, it is a big mess to get a new phone number just because someone at work does not respect your privacy | |
| Jun 17, 2016 at 8:53 | comment | added | Pieter B | Do Not talk to the receptionist anymore. Go straight to your manager and let him/her deal with it. | |

| Jun 16, 2016 at 22:34 | comment | added | user17163 | @MrMe Sometimes "polite" and "respectful" is the difference between someone getting their way and someone making enemies. Be firm about your position, but still kind. You tend to get further in life that way. | |
| Jun 16, 2016 at 22:06 | comment | added | Mr Me | Someone got my personal phone number and is sharing it without my consent? I would be angry. Rather than requesting the receptionist, I would demand the receptionist to forget my phone number And I would not be kind about it. I don't understand why you should be polite and respectful when someone else clearly wasn't. Or if you prefer the politically correct solution I would go to HR. | |

| Jun 16, 2016 at 21:24 | comment | added | Just Do It | No, they ask to be transferred to me, and although there's another guy when I'm not at the office she still forwards them to my phone, cause they asked for me(which is not specifically cause its me, its cause the phone is in my desk, they rather just ask by name than asking to be transferred to the department). Instead of just telling them I'm not available and that she'll transfer the call to the office's phone. @AlexHowansky | |
| Jun 16, 2016 at 21:04 | comment | added | Alex Howansky | How are your calls getting to the receptionist in the first place? Are people calling her directly and asking to be transferred to your cell because they know you're not at your desk? | |
