| Q. Dear Bill, |
| |
I have just started working for a new organization this week, and I'm really enjoying my new role. I want to keep in touch with colleagues from my old company as I have built solid relationships with them, however, I am not sure if it's appropriate for me to give them my new contact information at work (ie: phone, email, etc.). Should I send my contact information over, or should I politely decline?
~ S.M.

| A. Dear S.M., |
| |
It's always a good practice to hold off until you are able to properly assess the internal codes of conduct. Your new employer may frown upon contacting previous employers for various reasons, such as confidentiality, competition, etc. Before you email your new contact information out to colleagues - and even family for that matter, gain a better understanding of how your colleagues approach such situations.
~ Bill
