I know people say things through work IM that they wouldn't message via email. Not a good practice at all, but there is the illusion of something being less permanent via IM.

Slack does a pretty okay job messaging that everything you say is available to your companies administrators. At the minimum, assume that everything said on your corporate IM system (even private to two users) is discoverable in a lawsuit.

At least with gmail chat there is an off the record option.
