Q: A woman who used to work in my office recently called trying to get a list our employees' personal phone numbers, and since I was friendly with her while she was here my boss just came back to make sure I knew not to give it to her. My boss told me it was illegal for me to give out the numbers, but the way she said it felt more like a scare tactic than the truth. It's immoral, stupid, and an action for which I would fully expect to be fired, sure, but is it actually *illegal* for an employee to give out that information or do the laws only apply to the EMPLOYER? Just curious :)
A: It is illegal for anyone in the work environment to give out another employee's personal information without their consent. If that person places a complaint about the employee that gave out their information to whomever in charge, that person will get into a lot of trouble probably even terminated. In some cases charges can even be pressed against them by the other person.
