Germans not socialising with colleagues?

[Cheroote]

I know Germany pretty well and lived there as a student and as a teenager.

However, I never worked there as an adult.

I’m now living in the UK and have a really nice German boss. However, he refuses to give anyone his phone number for work kind of WhatsApp groups, (even though in certain instances it would be really beneficial for him), and also doesn’t socialise with colleagues at all. Is this a personal thing or is this a German culture that work And Personal life don’t cross?

Personal choice is a multicultural thing.

You have his email I presume. Why should he give you his personal number? Seems very professional to me

Made me think of this.

I love culture clashes tbh. One of the best things about working with people from all over.
