… is it possible to do any kind of business and/or have regular conversations without having to use whatsapp as a main way of communication?
If you’d like you can say in what country you’re living.

German here. My last employer was visibly confused when I told him that I neither have a Whatsapp account nor a smartphone, and didn’t want either one. Apparently it was his preferred way of changing shifts last minute and he was pissed that I didn’t want to participate in that bullshit. So you want to send me a notification after effing midnight that I have to come in at 5 AM instead of 6 AM? Miss me with that shit.
Luckily I found a better job elsewhere (and they do NOT require any social media accounts - if they want to change something, they call me and ASK whether I am ok with it).
That’s crazy, my employer won’t even call my cell phone unless it’s a dire emergency, which pretty much never happens.
My employer is the same and they added it to my pay when they did have to once.
Mine used to give me a stipend and when they stopped that I told them I won’t be using my personal phone for work anymore. They never called or gave me shit over it. My old boss called me once after that but that was to go get a beer.
Did you get a beer with him/her?
Yup, we ended up doing happy hour on a semi regular basis with a few people from work up until the pandemic.
Wouldn’t be easier to use them instead of him/her? Just curious
