phish tests are redundant after a point. I flagged the first few but they upped the frequency so much it got ridiculous. Turns out the header for the phishing tests all contains the name of the testing company. New phish tests are re directed to my brownie points folder, so I just have to worry about the real thing now
I've worked more than one place that did constant phishing testing, and also corporate creatures would send out links to websites we've never used before that everyone was required to click, so the only way to tell whether this was in the "get fired for clicking" or the "get fired for not clicking" bucket was that phishing test header. They never understood why this was a problematic combination, and never stopped doing both.
