I'm working at a company that sends work related messages through WhatsApp, like meeting cancelations, status updates, etc.
My number, signed into WhatsApp, is my personal number, paid directly by me.
I have 2 kids and have tons of groups around school, hobbies, friends, family, etc.
Having also work related stuff on a personal account app makes it really hard to prioritize and not miss stuff.
Also, it feels so unlegit/unfair to request me to use personal stuff for work.
We use Slack/teams/gchat (work account) so I think everything can be communicated through them, right?
So is it "fair/legit" to request to use a personal account for work related stuff?
BTW, saw some posts regarding avoiding whatsapp groups and Facebook invites at work. Want to emphasize that this a different question, from the point of view of the relationship between an employer and employees - not searching for concrete advice but trying to understand the fairness/legitimacy of this.
