Work has been occasionally sprinkling in episodes of KnowBe4's "The Inside Man" cybersecurity training series/TV drama, which.. while definitely educational and leaning a bit much into awkwardness, has been fun enough.
Still, every time the closed captions refer to "[THE HANDLER] ..." (the person directing Mark's infiltration efforts), it just brings to mind a fursuit handler, guiding someone in suit through the process of infiltrating their workplace with fluffiness.

@digitalfox Our work started pushing those too, and I think enough people complained about them that they backed off. |3 Not that they were that bad, but I think for most of us it felt like a waste of time when a 5-10 minute presentation on the same topics would be just as effective.

@digitalfox I guess I might have had a bit of a strong reaction to KnowBe4. Within a few months of when they started requiring those cringey condescending training sessions, I decided that the company wasn't going in the right direction and I left. It was not the only reason but it turned out to be the kick in the butt I needed to go away.
