    Instant messages don't disappear when you close the Sametime (or other) instant messaging window, not in the corporate world anyway. Just about all corporations back up their network systems' activity daily. If yours doesn't, better quietly start job hunting. The firm is going to crash and burn some day soon.

    What corporations do with instant messaging varies widely. For example:

  • An enlightened employer's policy may be to ignore the instant messaging, knowing that all employees need to let off steam. Company management is well aware that the personal comments themselves can be retrieved (through the instant messaging logs) when needed, as in the event of a lawsuit.
  • At other companies, the instant messages are regularly reviewed, even monitored daily. An enlightened company will use what they read only to identify problems early on, not as a spying tool. Morale issues, for example, are very prone to getting worse, if a bad manager's high-handed tactics are permitted to continue. Such eventually huge problems may cost a company hundreds of thousands of dollars.

    How to Conquer Job Hunting Apathy
    Jack, downsized from his last job, was frozen in a place called Apathy. Had been for months now. Knew he had to get moving, had to find a job, but … just couldn’t seem to get his act together. Oh, he’d tried … a little. But his lack of immediate success just made him that much more apathetic.Listless, almost indifferent, he dithered, wasting time on unrela

    You Only Have 30 Seconds

    Use Caution Before Copying Instant Messages

    Copying and pasting someone's informal comments to you is akin to taping a telephone conversation without the permission of both parties. That is, it's highly unethical, and in the case of the latter, definitely illegal without a court order. Or it was, until the current Administration's approach to civil liberties. State laws may be more stringent than Federal laws, however.

    Someone new to the corporate world or to IM may think nothing of copying instant messages and pasting them into a database as "proof" of what they were told to do. The text is complete with typos, slang, "smilies," and everything else that goes along with informal written speech. It can be embarrassing, to say the least. And you may end up being publicly flamed in the same database for doing what you did.

    There's Always an Exception to Everything

    Exceptions to copying instant messages are when you're being harassed, threatened, or accused of wrongdoing, of course, and then instant messages should be copied into a personal file, not one the whole world reads. That's the real reason behind CYA. Again, if you're new to the corporate world, CYA stands for Cover Your "Backside."

    Otherwise, if you don't want to end up duking it out in the company parking lot, play it safe. Never copy and paste anyone's Sametime comments into
