Instant Messaging Blunder

Now that we’ve discussed all the logistics of Instant Messaging and Texting at work, let’s look at an example.

I personally have not had an instance at work where I said something inappropriate over Instant Message. At my current job, we do not use them, we use email frequently. At my last position I was dealing with clientele, and yet trying to have IM conversations with coworkers at the same time, I found it difficult to concentrate on both.

Here is a link to an example of an Instant Message gone wrong (excuse the language).

Have you ever sent a message to the wrong person? I’ve done that with a friend once, it wasn’t pretty, and unfortunately we were never as close after. Be sure to reread your message before pressing the send button!
