When the boss says you are obligated to join the 'Whatsapp work group':

Email okay but no personal chats lol! If you want to get in touch you can join my platforms 😉

@stux Never ever that I will reinstall Whatsapp on my phone.
That's a past station.

With my previous job we also had a team that used WhatsApp as team chat and at some point I had setup a closed RocketChat server for that group

Everyone thought it was a great idea but ofc no one joined :nkoFacepalm2:

You know what.. neverrrr mindd :blobcatgiggle:

I'll rather host for people on the web who do appreciate it

@stux how does a cat learn to self host things?

@stux same happened with my team when we had to move to microsoft teams.

Everyone hated teams and we setup a discord server for casual chat (non work related) .

Everyone loved the idea, but nobody used the server :nkosigh:

@stux We use Teams on our work computers and work phones, and SMS for after hours / emergency stuff. It's a decent work life balance, and much better than my old job where I used one phone for everything.

@binaryequation SMS for emergency seems reasionable indeed

@stux That can go either way. We've got Slack at my current place, which is really useful for ad-hoc chats with people.

My last place was a big multinational, and they tried bringing in a chat client. I don't know of anyone who actually used it. It seemed to be some kind of vanity thing for the top management to try to get people to use it. Maybe it was worth an end-of-year bonus to someone?

@darkling Slack is okay 😉 kinda made for that 💪

But i refuse to add them to stupid privacy hogs like Whatsapp

@stux If it's on work hardware? Sure.

If they want me to put it on my own hardware? They can go forth and multiply.
