Re: DOES THIS MEAN NO MORE LIW FOR ME
The talk is that its porn, gambling, sports etc. We do not have access to any IM features. I am not the least worried at all. If I cannot get on, I cannot get on. Its not the end of the world. I will get on when I get home after the gym. I know how to reach the people I need to reach.

Shamma you can't leave us!
Many Companies are doing this though - I know mine has a full written IS/Communications policy on it that we sign when first hired and everything I've seen a ton of people with IM too - that I don't have.

Re: DOES THIS MEAN NO MORE LIW FOR ME
Michele, if only they knew that I get most of my work done quickly b/c I want it out of the way to get to LIW, this is my motivation for working, nothing to motivate me now, I might not get any work done
