It is as if you were doing work

Having worked in an insurance company this brought a pang of PTSD.

A stream of minor frustrations, just mild enough to not trigger an audible and cathartic 'f*ck', over and over and over again. The only thing missing was a mandatory health & safety quiz.

Now excuse me while I go thank the Universe that I no longer work in such a place.

My god, I'm starting to think Post Insurance Trauma meetings are in order. Everyone else I've met who worked/started in Insurance feels the same way. I can still recall those janky 'Internet Safety' etc. web seminars that restart if you accidentally click the wrong button and inexplicably take 45 minutes.

I have spent more time trying to hack my way through web-flash-etc training courses than I've spent actually doing them.

It was very rare I was able to actually get to the end without having to resort to an ahk script pressing "next" every 10 minutes overnight

Screengrab --> ocr --> index makes for easy q/a at the end...

You have sensitive client data to send to your client.

Do you:

a) Put it on pastebin and send them a link

b) email it to them

c) put it on a securely encrypted pen drive, courier that to the client, and provide the password via a second communication channel.

(You did not have to do the course to answer the quiz, the answers would generally reveal themselves through the art of sounding super corporate - whilst simultaneously being the thing you've literally never ever seen anyone do)

Or: Which of these is unethical.

Your brother bob wants your opinion on his home insurance.

One of your neighbors jokes about the recent storm damage hiking his premiums.

Our local competitors offer you 20k to consult during work hours.
