Can you easily communicate in your country (business/private life) without being involuntarily forced to use whatsapp?

... 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.

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

If you want the real answer, I had already typed him realized it could have been a woman so then did slash her. Them would have been easier if I had started that way. The way I did it I'm not sure which was easier. But it's what I did and I'm sticking with it.

Ah kk. Nothing wrong with it at all, I was just curious why.
