[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And he called me 14 times over the weekend without leaving a voicemail. I thought it was spam because he wasn't in my contacts and I don't take work calls on the weekend even if I did know.

He eventually texted me 3 huge multi-paragraphs texts on Sunday asking about his bid, other potential bids, how great he is etc. So, I blocked him.

Contractor reaches out to the coworker that gave him my number and asks whats up. She comes over to me today and asks why I'm 'ignoring' him. I ask her if she the one who gave him my personal cell and she says yes.

I tell her not to ever do that again as the guy interrupted my wife's birthday, my son's double header baseball game, my Mass on Sunday and just my general peace on the weekend.

She turns around and tells our boss that I'm not a team player.

She is 30, single, no kids, no pets, no hobbies, no nothing. 
I have the clout to demand her firing.

Would you give this moron a second chance or do I teach her a life lesson?[/quote]

I was in a similar situation when a coworker shared my phone number with a contractor who worked on the same projects. The contractor had to call me over the weekend to report on production issues. It wasn't the end of the world if they had stayed until Monday morning but I appreciated that the contractor cared about resolving issues. 
I wouldn't report your coworker as her intent was not bad. I bet the intent of the contractor wasn't bad either. Some people are very serious about their work and do not realize that some other people clearly distinguish between personal and work hours. 
Just stay chill and let the coworker know that she shouldn't do that again. No big deal. [/quote]
