there were two points made:
1) Signal and whatsapp are not 100% trustworthy
Maybe the implication is that it will leak info to your employer, but I think this is more like a general statement; one that is likely an attempt to discuss why we still put our conversations into the hands of large companies with potentially unknown motives; and the questionable state of using "end-to-end" where one entity controls the network, access to the network and both ends of the exchange.
2) Why not use something you can host yourself
to which a reasonable reply is: network effects; I already have signal/whatsapp/telegram and I do not worry about them sending information to my employer.
Unless your employer is facebook, then I think that's a perfectly legitimate rebuttal, but one nobody is making.
In fact, people would rather argue that signal/whatsapp is the best privacy platform in the universe due to e2ee!
