Do Your Office Block Yahoo Messenger

Well good for you. I also communicate vie email, but no matter what, it is more fun to communicate using yahoo messenger or any other instant messaging software. Most of user actually never abuse Yahoo Messenger use, because they need to their get job done, no matter what, so if they have much in their hand, they will finish the job. But some time, if we stress enough, or have a little free time, than it is better to do some chat to relax our self for a while.

yes it will never be abused. based on what you've said--your last statement is what i am doing right now. relaxing and checking on my YM plus sneaking on mylot...here's my response to your discussion. cheers!

Niceee, good for you. Relaxing and checking yahoo messenger while doing mylot and make extra money from it. It really are nice. Well i hope my office become less strict about this kind of policy because it really are annoying to not be able to keep up with your friend and seeing how they are doing. Anyway thanks for responding to this discussion again my friend. Cheers!

Im just saying that you should have permission from the boss to use HIS PROPERTY ON HIS TIME for your personal use. If its okay with him then its ok. But if not you can lose your job. I guess that would depend on what is more important to you.

I don't agree with this. We can use office computer for personal use, like mailing thing to friend or using them for browsing some web. I think, as long as you get your job done, and you done no harm to your job and your office, it really doesn't matter. I have computer in home, but there is no way i bring them to office since it will have no use since i still use the office network. Anyway, thanks for responding.

Well actually, it is not HIS PROPERTY, and it is not HIS TIME. It's the company property, and actually, my Boss actually want to chat too. But he can't since the IT Dept doesn't allowed it, because it is more easy for us to communicate at work if we had Yahoo Messenger. And actually, chatting will not make me loose my job, the it dept actually have their yahoo messenger active all the time. And the company actually allowed people to chat using mobile device like black berry. My Job don't require me to be focus on the job all the time. I even my lotting from the office right now. They based my performance by result, as long as i get my job done. They don't really care. Thanks.

Yes, most school block sites like that. Usually they block social networking site like friendster, facebook, twitter and adult friendfinder. Also they block many chat application like skype, yahoo messenger, msn messenger, imo.im, meebo and many many more. I hate that policy, but what can i do :(

oh i see, that is really bad. To have the it blocked many of our favorite site, it is kinda depressing. I know they mean well but it still too much. With many mobile device, people can access many site easily, so what they do is not effective at all if it mean to make people more focus to their work. Anyway, i stil can acccess imo.in for chat even though they block yahoo messenger.

Well yes, i think i should be gratefull compare to that. Well, i hope you company make a new policy, even a restriction internet access like mine still look good. Anyway, now you said about this, i do feel more gratefull than before. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Oh i see, well that is good for you. My office block yahoo messenger, but now, since i use a black berry mobile phone, i can use yahoo messenger from that mobile device. I think it is more fun that way since i can use it almost anywhere, and the connection is much more stable thank web messenger like imo or meebo. Thanks for your reply men.

Well, that is one the example that you actually can use Yahoo Messenger For Work, and not simply to chat in the chat room with a random stranger. Well you are very lucky. You can keep chatting while work, and communication must be more cheap and simpler for you. ANyway, thanks for responding to this discussion my friend. Happy mylotting.

Well yes, i know Yahoo Messenger can get your self infected with viruses if you not careful enough, but the same thing also happened with email. And yes, Yahoo Messenger some time can forget about their job and just chatting all day. Well, it actually depend on the job and the person whose doing the job.thanks

Well then, did your boss then allowed you to do so. My Boss actually doesn't really care about this. Since he really like to chat to, but the IT Dept have rules, so he actually doesn't agree with that rule too. The sad thing is, The IT Dept is the only dept that are able to do chat. It is what make most of the other employee mad. Is like parent that are smoking, forbidden their kid to smoke. Well thanks for your respond.

Well, i think as long as we get our job done, it really doesn't matter. Especially since the job some time require us to do some extra work that are actually not our job. And chatting is also usefull for work too. Especially for communication and maintaning informal relation ship with client, friend and other work mate. It is more fun and more cheaper. Almost the same like facebook and most social networking. Thanks for replying.

Well it is the same with me, try using mobile software like e-buddy to chat. Or use your cellphone or your usb modem to connect to the internet. I know it cost you more money, but to be able to chat while working is a plus, i think it is worth the money. Thanks.
