I safely opened an obvious phishing mail to see the tactics they employed - not realizing our company signed up with a company to “test” its employees. I was then required to attend mandatory phishing training - I refused on the grounds that I didn’t fall for the attempt. The “you must attend by” date came and went and I never heard anything more about it from IT. I, too, was pissed.
My favorite thing now is to report mails from the head of IT as phishing emails (e.g., “…we are seeing an increase in phishing attacks around this rando topic. Click here to learn more…”). Test me once, shame on me…
