Is this odd?

I recently started in a new job, team of 20. Everyone seems to get on fairly well, all staff are friends on facebook and have a WhatsApp group, except one member of staff who doesn't have facebook and won't give her phone number to any of her colleagues. Is this odd? She gets on well with he colleagues during working hours.

It's not odd to want to keep out of non-essential workplace groups, especially on SM.

I wouldn't want it. I'd give my number to people I got on with but a whole staff whatsapp group sounds hellish.

I know someone like this at work. Seems sensible to me. I’m in our work WhatsApp and I keep the chat muted cos as much as I like my colleagues I want to have some time where I don’t have to think about work!
In another place I work regularly I know they all have a chat that I’m not in. But I’m not remotely bothered as I’m not close friends with anyone there really. Maybe your colleague just prefers not to be too involved.

Another vote for not odd. I work with some lovely people and enjoy their company when I am at work, however, I have no desire to socialise or communicate with them outside of work. I don't have any of them on fb, don't go on their whatsapp groups and decline social events. My family and social life is way too busy and I don't want to mix the two.
