Glad that you were able to propose something that your workplace can accept.

I have to admit that I was pretty shocked in disbelieve when I first read your blog. But then again, I shouldn’t be as there are probably lots of other employers out there with such policies.

My $0.02 is that IM is no different than phone calls, emails, or any other form of communication. It’s up to people to use it moderately. I like to think “it’s not the tools, it’s the users”
