How many of you have some kind of instant messaging system for work? Windows Messenger, Sametime Client, etc... and no, I don't mean AIM or some other crap 😛

not here. i don't think IT would go for it.

DOH! just heard:

"attention all staff, we need you to log off and turn off your computers. we will advise when you can reboot them"

😕

Sametime... and it "helps save money"... besides, I hate talking on the phone.

Sametime was cool back at one of my old jobs. It connected to AIM as well. Score.

sometimes i use net send (depends on which clients have it enabled), and sometimes the odd person actually just uses MSN, so we use that too... LOL

Well, only the IT department uses IM (MSN Messenger). The IT Manager and I also use AIM.

I use MSN, i made an account for work that has 3 people, one is the guy who sits next to me, one sits about 50 feet away, and the other is 1/2 way across the country.

The lady who makes all our accounts and such works remote, so I use that to talk with her quite often. I'm not really sure what policy is, but msn is sure cheaper then calling, that and I work in IT so it dosent matter. 🙂

 

[imported_Trippin315]

We have these things called phones, and also email. IT wont have it. I am able to do this though, so I will not complain.

 

[AdamSnow]

No instant messaging is available on our network...
