Why is Yahoo! promoting deceipt in the workplace by offering Messenger service with STEALTH?

Your STEALTH feature is advertised: “Keep your boss in the dark. With handy Stealth settings in Yahoo! Messenger with Voice, you can appear online to some and offline to others." Please, where does corporate greed stop? Is Yahoo! so desperate to 'grow' it's profits that it is willing to lose its terrific reputation and lower itself to scum by offering a product that encourages employees to deceive their employers into thinking they are doing the work they're being paid to do, when all the while they're really working on their social life. And the ad makes it sound like a fun and proper thing to do! Are we now to lower our standards of morals and business work ethics in the name of corporate greed? Can't you find an ETHICAL product to sell, like your corporate web site says you're supposed to?


Suffice to say, I won't be expanding my network of Yahoo! services until I see from Yahoo! that it takes good morals and ethics seriously. I'm also discussing this with everyone I know.

I'm sorry, I haven't seen the part about the bosses advertised anywhere. I'm sure Yahoo! knows that bosses usually have the opportunity to see whatever's on a computer screen in their business, regardless of whether or not the user is using the internet.

Reply:Please get off your high horse. You can still do your work and use messenger at the same time. It's corporate greed when companies won't allow you to have any break while you're working.
