No one should have to deal with a situation like this – folks, it’s 2005 — there are are tools we can use to communicate, to learn, to exchange information, to improve workflow…
Michael – I have information to share – but please do not use my name or identify my organization. My organization absolutely does not allow IM. In fact – I needed it for a training class and had to petition my boss, the head of IT, and others for permission. I got permission to use it for a specific amount of time – the duration of the class. Then it was immediately removed. That’s my story.
This was a response to an email request Karen sent out for me to some mailing lists. My tummy hurts.
