[quote=Anonymous]Tell them that you'll be happy to work with them and that they should come to you with specific issues so that you can discuss it and understand the context, and give them the right contacts. It avoids a wholesale contact list dump and lets you figure out how to manage the situation but you're not going to be able to easily stonewall. If your contacts are career employees and you have a good enough relationship you can call them ahead of newbie's call to them to clue them in (discreetly, of course, don't get caught bad mouthing Newbie) and offer to continue to be available. You have to play this by ear and with delicacy and at some point may have to involve your supervisor if Newbie is cutting you out and it has substantive ramifications on getting the mission done. Then you'll find out if your boss has backbone.[/quote]
