Hey all I 30 M havevw recently left one job and an about to start a new job in an adjacent industry, On my last day I got a call from the owner bob of a company in direct competition, of the company I was leaving oddly this call came to my personal number. This personal number isn’t on any of my business profiles or linked in. The only way he could have got it is from my Brother in law Jake who works directly for Bob,

Bob has been pushing Jake to get me to consider working for Bob, but I’ve made it clear that I do not want to work for Bob. My last talk with Jake he was trying to offer me a job on Bob’s behalf. But once again I told him I was not interested

Anyway when Bob called me, I was confused at first. But I remained professional. He asked me if we has stock of something, and I politely told him he would have to go through appropriate channels and gave him the office number.

After that Bob tried to press me as to why I was leaving and where I was going. All I gave him was “I’m making a move for my career and I am very excited” I wished him the best and we eneded the call Overall a very civil conversation. Buy it bugged me that he had my personal phone number.

I am a bit annoyed Jake gave my personal muber to his boss without my permission, but my wife thinks I might be in the wrong if I confront him about it

Hopefully the above is readable, appreciate any inputs
