A lot of IT security teams do this. On one side it is depressing, but on another side it is annoying to have to hear them talk about it every staff meeting. All companies seem to have people with zero understanding of computers and will fall for anything. I wonder how effective the education is. I guess if it prevents one attack it can pay for itself.

Only a little bit. Most IT CyberSecurity teams can use bad stats to justify their value and additional staff, so they want to bring it up at every opportunity.
I don't necessarily disagree, but power users often get frustrated by red tape applied to everyone and not just those who consistently misuse their computer privileges.
