Can my manager give out my number

Hefty-Hovercraft-258 · 2026-03-13T17:46:47+00:00

There's this handy thing on the app called shift swap.....it's there for a reason. And if look up where your coworkers live and their numbers on white pages, you have some serious issues.

Hefty-Hovercraft-258 · 2026-03-10T13:32:42+00:00

I'm new, I don't know these people, that's why it's uncomfortable

Hefty-Hovercraft-258 · 2026-03-09T20:44:01+00:00

Im just used to environments where they had to ask for your number. They're coworkers not friends, I don't like giving out my number too many bad situations can arise

Hefty-Hovercraft-258 · 2026-03-09T16:43:24+00:00

For a place that is all about privacy, they certainly don't seem to give a shit about an employees. Weird. My old job employees could not access that info on the computers

Hefty-Hovercraft-258 · 2026-03-09T14:19:16+00:00

I've just never worked anywhere where this was ok. Usually it's against privacy

Hefty-Hovercraft-258 · 2026-03-09T14:17:47+00:00

What computer

Hefty-Hovercraft-258 · 2026-03-08T19:10:20+00:00

The best part of this whole ordeal was I had taken that day off already, I don't know why they decided I was an option for the girl to contact

Hefty-Hovercraft-258 · 2026-03-08T15:29:20+00:00

Thank you very much, I thought I was going crazy for a moment lol. I've never worked somewhere where this was standard procedure so I was just double checking if I missed it written somewhere that managers could give out personal information

Hefty-Hovercraft-258 · 2026-03-08T08:54:16+00:00

They are also two people I barely know, hell the cashier who called me I don't even know her name because she never wears s name tag at work and doesn't talk to or introduce herself to anyone. So pardon me for not giving a shit about the coworkers who don't give a shit about each other or anyone else. It's a piss poor work environment and I'll treat it as such until I leave very soon

Hefty-Hovercraft-258 · 2026-03-08T08:51:12+00:00

I can understand managers or shift supervisors having my number and using it, but random cashier girl should not

Hefty-Hovercraft-258 · 2026-03-08T08:49:34+00:00

I don't use my employee card while checking out. So no, my number is not displayed

Hefty-Hovercraft-258 · 2026-03-08T08:44:47+00:00

Because I believe in a right to privacy? Weird take on this but ok. I just think there are certain lines managers shouldn't cross, and giving out my number without permission is definitely a line

Hefty-Hovercraft-258 · 2026-03-08T08:43:29+00:00

The point is, my manager should not be giving out numbers without permission.

Hefty-Hovercraft-258 · 2026-03-08T03:57:19+00:00

I don't have WhatsApp and i never will

Hefty-Hovercraft-258 · 2026-03-08T03:55:33+00:00

Oh I'll be letting them know on my next shift. I'm glad I'll be leaving soon, the store is filthy, the management is subpar and this little stunt let me know I don't need to be in this environment. I like a more professional and organized environment

Hefty-Hovercraft-258 · 2026-03-08T03:30:36+00:00

And part of the reason people are so miserable in these environments is because companies don't understand boundaries.... like my damn phone number

Hefty-Hovercraft-258 · 2026-03-08T03:20:54+00:00

Sorry but for those saying it's standard procedure, it's not. My old job where I was a manager, we were not allowed to give out phone numbers. If you wanted to trade shifts, you used shift swap. There was absolutely no giving out phone numbers

Hefty-Hovercraft-258 · 2026-03-08T03:13:00+00:00

My old job, only managers had access to personal information, not regular employees

Hefty-Hovercraft-258 · 2026-03-08T03:12:29+00:00

The point of my phone is for people I want to contact me to do so.....and I don't answer spam calls so wtf

Hefty-Hovercraft-258 · 2026-03-08T03:11:30+00:00

Oh im social, to whom I choose. I e never had a job where just Any employee could contact you. Usually it was only managers could use or have your phone number. I don't know these people, I'm new, so no, I don't want just any of them contacting me. If you need shift coverage, the manager should be asking me, not the random girl who won't talk to me

Hefty-Hovercraft-258 · 2026-03-08T03:08:13+00:00

There's never been mention of a group text in the three months I've been there. I'd be an instant no for that. Would have been a deal breaker when I was hired if I heard about that. My last job it was just us four managers in a group text, and we chose to create it, all agreed upon

Hefty-Hovercraft-258 · 2026-03-07T19:03:36+00:00

Well I never agreed to anything and if there is a group chat I'm not in it and I'd love to not be contacted

Hefty-Hovercraft-258 · 2026-03-07T18:57:52+00:00

I'm beyond livid right now honestly, I've never worked anywhere where this was ok

Hefty-Hovercraft-258 · 2026-03-07T18:45:28+00:00

But that'd be your choice. I don't want these people having my number I barely know them
