I'm 100% certain I've worked with people that did this. I never realized they were DR visionaries

I wonder if this encouraged people to be more open with their ideas also.

If I could say things knowing that if I made a mistake, someone might friendly correct me with "Ah, you're the liar today, S3 doesn't support that format", I'd be happier to make them.

When at Google, we did the simpler version (of not replying) for our DiRT week exercises. DiRT stands for disaster recovery testing.

How are people afterwards.

I refuse to use email at work anymore because of the constant phishing tests. Sick of the gotcha mentality.

I am genuinely fascinated how they managed to piss you off so much with phishing tests. (For me email is the backbone of all permanent office communication). Was the frequency too high (reducing the signal to noise ratio too much), or just the fact that they doubt your ability to fall for such a thing?

2-3 a month. Often spoofing other co workers I need to be cautious on all emails.

I use it now only to see if notifications came in from calendar or such. Even then it’s just looking at subject lines.

I then go straight to the app and check for actual message / event.

I was wondering that too. I'm guessing it's frequency. We get them, but they are once every few months. The only annoying thing about them is I have to open outlook to actually report them as I normally use Airmail.

I agree. We have a security score at work and mine had been zero for a long time. I realized that you need to report the emails as spam or phishing and not just ignore/delete like I usually do.
