You dont understand. Everyone has all Macros enabled by default because Bob down the hall wrote an Excel macro that lets us plug numbers in our spreadsheet from the mainframe in 5 seconds instead of typing them for 20 minutes.
Everyone knows that to get the Macro to work, step one is to enable all macros.

My employer does this as well. Even though I have been on the internet since the early 1990s, I still fell for one. There is just no way around it, if you process 300 emails a day you are going to slip once or twice. The human brain just works that way.
I think they have other mitigation strategies. Like probably quietly installing extra scanners on the email of the most "problematic" people who open anything and forward chain letters constantly.
