[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Talk with your boss and let him/her know it's inappropriate for a co-worker to give out your personal cell number to a contractor.

A contractor shouldn't be allowed to contact you directly on your personal device to promote their bid. That seems like a problem if other contractors don't also have the same opportunity.

I wouldn't go into the "not a team player" complaint or how it cut into your weekend. [/quote]

This.  I would also question why she gave out your information and why she gave it to one contractor.  That doesn't seem professional at all and in some organizations coworker would be fired.  It can also be an ethics violation.  She gave out a coworker's personal information without their consent and in turn to help ONE contractor.  I would question this coworkers judgement on all their work.  What if roles were reversed and coworker was a male and OP was a female?  What if female was harassed all weekend?  This coworker does not understand boundaries and I am female!

Personally I would not pick this contractor, tell your boss to not pick the contractor.  If this is how they interact it shows they are unprofessional.

My DH has a boss who got his personal cell even though he also has a work cell.  She calls whenever and expects things done right away.  It is so disruptive to our life that he is looking for a new job.  He works many nights, occasional weekends, and travels, so when he is off we schedule things!  Disrupting those days especially when it is not an emergency (9.9/10 when she says it is an emergency it actually is not) is stressful to all of us including my kids.  [/quote]
