Employer gave out my phone number.

[Deleted User]

I wonder if anyone can help me here please.

My employer put a sign up in a public area with all the staffs phone numbers on.This is one of the top 100 employers in the UK.

A person that had been flirting with me took my number off the wall and started texting me love messages etc.

Stupidly enough I responded which ended up in a 2 month affair.

Now everything has gone wrong.

Without going into too much depth is this legal to display my number like this?

Thanks in advance

Ahahahaha you want to complain that you've fell out with your lover?

Best post of 2018 - calling it now. :T

So are you trying to blame the company for the fact that you had an affair? I think the phone number is a total irrelevance here.
As to whether or not the company were within their rights to put your number up - is this a company mobile, or a number on which you need to be contacted for work purposes and which you gave to the company? Or is it your own private mobile? If it's a private mobile were staff asked if it was OK to display the number?

What sort of phone number? If it was a work issued phone, then that seems reasonable. If they gave out your personal mobile number without asking first then that would be a problem.

No not about the affair.

It was my mobile number and no I was not asked. It's the number I gave in my application.

I think marlipanda has called it correctly.

Surely this top 100 company has a staff telephone directory - in what way is this any different?

And do your emails contain your contact details?

And I'm guessing there is a staff details page on your work email register.

Are you being discipline for misuse of company assets?

Okay serious head on:

Did you complain at the time? Why did they put that list up? Where exactly did they put it so it was 'public'

Why are you bringing this up 2 months later?

So was mine.

Next time you can't keep your phone, any anything else in your trousers, complain at the time, not only after she's threatened to cut your b*ll*cks off, or put your pet bunny in a saucepan.

Now, back under the bridge with you!
