Providing Phone Numbers of Managers?

My employer wants me to provide the phone numbers of my prior managers but I don't know them. I didn't keep in touch with many of them either. Should I just give them the company number instead?

I don't think you should provide them with the company number, but try to find their extensions if possible. You can call up the main line and ask the service desk to find the extensions for you (using the name of your old managers).

Alternatively, do you have their e-mails?

 

There's nothing wrong with listing the main office switchboard number. As a manager, I'd be annoyed getting calls on my direct line or cell about some random old employee.
