I only have two people's phone numbers, which is about 10% of the people that I work with. And I work two days a week, so it's hard to ask my coworkers in person. But isn't that her job? She has everyone's phone number, and I have been asked to cover other's shifts by her. If I'm in the wrong please let me know respectfully, because I am genuinely wondering. Thanks.
