I will think about this every time we have a meeting to discuss the stupid "shame and train" faux phishing attacks they run on us at work.

Pro-Tip: If you set up the right kind of filtering you'll never see those stupid things. (Fight club rules).

Alternatively, over-report. Spelling mistake on an email from a colleague? Seems phishy to me. Email from a colleague with an attachment? Phishy! Unsolicited email from a client? Phishy! Email from 'social committee' sent to everyone in the team? Phishy!!!

Please don't.

I have to initiate those, or it looks bad for compliance. We sell software, we get SOC 2 attestations yearly. We start getting points marked off for very general security and compliance measures customers will question our products and not renew or not purchase in the first place, because if we can't even secure our own employees and promote awareness, what does that say about our product?

Sincerely, the guy everyone hates and makes your work life harder.

Maybe don’t gaslight people and they wouldn’t respond by assuming everything is more gaslighting.
