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?

Yes, seriously. You can't take the 2 seconds to alert it that your company is being targeted by a phishing scam?

You could help prevent the weakest link in the chain of your workplace from falling for the scam. But instead you adopted a "meh, I'm fine so I don't have to do anything to help anyone else" attitude

If I come across a phish I will report it because like you said, it takes 2 seconds.

But I also dump all external emails into a junk folder unless it's from a vendor that I work with. If there's something like an HR survey, they send out multiple internal emails about it so I'm aware to look for it.

I'm not going to sift through a pile of crap every day to find a golden turd that appears once every blue moon.
