So...my HR person gave my cell phone # to a fellow employee...

So the additional information that CJ had initiated a non-work-related "deal" with the other party doesn't interest you?

Of course not. It's irrelevant. The "deal" was between CJ and a co-worker, not related to CJ's work, and most definitely, still not within the purview of HR.

None of the additional info changes what CJ said in her first post.

You apparently believe you're expected to be an ass.
