We all have to do the course. And honestly I’m not even mad.
In my line of work, most people are not computer savvy. We’re running Windows 11 and no one has admin privileges, even the highest ranking people. They’re all limited. That’s fine. We can’t install anything. I’m pretty sure I could hit up PortableApps and get some portable software working, but I’m not trying to push my luck. I’m pretty sure I know what I can and can’t get away with, but it’s a good job and I don’t want to mess it up. Besides, a lot of people are illegally streaming sports or movies and getting away with that, so IT security is pretty lax. That’s probably true at a lot of places.
I don’t mind the cybersecurity courses because I mute them and make them run at double speed and I ignore them, clicking through, then I ace the test. It’s not that I don’t care. I just know the material already. I’ve also helped coworkers who earnestly sat through the whole thing and are genuinely struggling. I know they hate how casually I get all the questions right, but they hate having to go through it a second time even more.
Plus, there’s one vendor of training videos that is kind of like an office comedy, and one of the workers has a bunch of anime fan art in their cubicle. So it amuses me to no end that all of my coworkers are seeing these characters. It’s nothing recent and I haven’t seen it in a while. I know Killua from Hunter x Hunter is there. 12 year old boy, has super powers, something with lightning? (been ages since I watched HxH, and Meruem best boy) and he can rip your heart out of your chest (he’s done it before). I feel like they need to add Anya Forger (from SPYxFAMILY) to the wall. That would be funny. (Telepathic toddler, dumb as a box of rocks, and just as adorable.)
