Never EVER install work software on a personal device.

If you require me to use software to do the job, you've gotta provide me with a device to run that software on. Absolutely no leeway there. That includes things like Slack and Teams.

You do not speak for all. I like slack on my phone! I chat shit to colleagues in the evening sometimes (I don't get out much)

I do the same.

Only, I message my work friends on my work chat on my work device and invite them to become my friends on my non work chat (usually discord since that's where everyone is, Signal if the friend in question is there). That way we can talk about anything we want, even complain about work, without fear of eventual retribution if a bad boss / chat admin enters the equation.

Ah, I also do this 😅 but not with everyone. Some people I don't fancy having in my discord for one reason or another...
