My direct supervisor called me today on my cell phone for a new job I haven't started yet. She told me to save her cell phone number she called me off of. I'm pretty sure I will not be receiving a business cell phone. Does her action pass the threshold of professionalism? Am I obligated to save her number?

When do you start the job? If you're starting in less than a week is a bit different than if you still have a couple of week or more to my mind here.

Why would you not save your direct supervisor's number?

She is asking you to save her number - that's all. Don't think too much into it. Save it so that you know when she is calling and you can react appropriately.

If it does not meet that threshold, what do you propose to do? Turn her in to her boss, at a job you have not started? Why are you offended by this in the first place

That sounds like a good thing. What is it you're worried about?

She is giving you her phone number so you can reach her if you need to. This is courteous, it's good business operative, and it's an indication of trust that you won't use it inappropriately. Do save the number; you may need it someday.

Your supervisor giving you his / her number and asking you to save it is actually a good sign, it means she / he is seeing you as someone who is going to be working with him / her for a period of time worth establishing a reliable communication channel (aka the phone) you should interpret it as that, and, to be honest, as someone working with subordinates you put a lot of thinking on who you really need to give your personal phone number to, and then only give it to those you consider worthy of a lot of trust.
