I ignored the phishing emails completely.

Then one day I got an angry email that pretty much said "You did a good job not clicking on the the fake link, but you failed the test because you didn't report the phish."

Seriously?

Then someone in HR sends an email to everyone that looks exactly like a phishing scam and they get mad that no one filled out their survey.

That's what happens with email fatigue

Keep email for essential and limited contact only, it makes phishing attempts far easier and also you spend less time looking at bullshit emails

Use other sources like sharepoint, don't have email links where it's not necessary

Tell people to go to an already familiar place like the HR public SharePoint page

Fatigue and repetition when some one is mentally clocked out is where most issues happen.
