A.Hi,
While social media does constitute valid evidence in Court, it is highly unlikely that leaving a work related WhatsApp group will have major consequences, unless it was specifically mentioned in your employment contract. However, he may begin targeting you in other ways if you go against his instructions.

A.Whats app group or any social media has any legal validity. However depends on the circumstances we can use the info in group to validate some evidences. Apart from that it has now legal value. In your case this is absolutly unacceptable. He cant take any legal action against you whatsoever.He is just trying to be bossy and taking advantage over you. Thank you
