The last mid-to-big company I worked for had an excellent system of setting up your new software that involved calling you to please confirm you 2FA.
When I said “I’m pretty sure I followed at least four trainings telling me not to do that” they were not amused. I, on the other hand, was extremely amused by telling them no.
Two companies ago I was told I had failed to pass an email phishing test and so would be required to take another training in it. I pointed out that I could not, in fact, have failed such a test as I don’t respond to anything (real or faked) from management. I still had to take the training. So for the rest of my time at the company I turned in every email I received from management as a phishing attempt. I was told to stop it, but replied that I was simply being careful in following training. I’m sure they blocked me after that.

Brilliant!
