For people wondering how to do this in your own lives, have two phones. Have a phone that you install work stuff on, including proprietary apps like WhatsApp. Just tell the people around you hey you can contact me on WhatsApp, but I only see it when I'm at my desk during business hours. I do use more privacy focused platforms on my personal device that you can reach me anytime, such a signal or simple x or matrix. And you'll find a lot of people are very flexible as long as you give them some reason, and you're not being unreasonable yourself.
Having two phones absolutely sucks. Didn't work for me at all.
It's only a minor hassle, lots of people manage it easily
Lots of people do lots of things.
