I congratulate to the startup idea! And I wish all the best!

BUT! And excuse my critical note, but I absolutely loathe the idea that my company would intrude my personal private life on whatsapp! You know what's the first thing I do when I leave the office? I turn off each and every channel which is connected in any way to my company. Complete radio silence. No email, no hangout, no slack, no nothing. Zero, zilch, zip, nada.

Seriously? You want to answer company surveys in whatsapp? Seriously? I doubt it. I sincerely doubt it.



Exactly this, I get enough 'urgent' stuff coming through, invading my work/life balance already.

The idea of doing HR admin stuff in my free time seems a bit fanciful:

> I have no option of taking the survey at my favourite cafe

If I'm at my favourite café, the _last_ thing I'll be doing is a work survey, unless I'm there during my working day.


Same. Might be a cultural thing or something but I'd absolutely hate the idea of being pinged about work things on personal channels (whatsapp, messenger, etc), especially after working hours. I know because I used to work at a place where I'd receive feature requests and bug reports, after working hours, on facebook messenger. Nope.
