Top 5 Things You Could IM to Your Boss That you Don’t Want to Get Out

#1 Customer Information

If you lose the trust of your customers you may never get it back again. Not to mention the damage it would do to your companies reputation in the long term.

#2 Updates on Financial Information

Your boss may have needed it quickly for that big presentation but you only want him to see it.

#3 Computer Passwords

Now you know that you shouldn’t be sharing these, but not all of your co workers are as diligent as you. Just in case it would be better to have the information secure.

#4 Information about a mistake

Every person and every company makes mistakes once and awhile.  Keeping them on a need to know basis can make a big difference in how things play out.

#5 Information about your personal life

Sometimes you have to give your boss personal information if you need to take a sick or personal leave you will want that information to remain personal. The whole office doesn’t need to know that you mother is sick.

The moral of the story, if you are going to IM with your boss, you should be sure that the IM’s are secure. A service like Brosix can help you with that. Encrypted instant messages will keep prying eyes off of your messages and information on a need to know basis.
