Stop sending out e-mails to warn employees not to click on TEST phishing scams. It creates an environment of employees who are incapable of thinking for themselves. I am sure the department manager responsible for sending them out would be pretty ticked that this goes on. The crazy thing is the warning e-mail I received originated from a Director Head. How can someone get to that level and make such stupid decisions?

Good luck with this. Managers demand all the power and control because they view it as job security for them. An employee doesn’t really work for BNYM. They work for the manager who makes up his/her own rules that’s separate from corporate policy. Managers also warn employees about when to respond to call tree tests as well. Managers are free to override policy/ decisions made by IT, corporate security, and hr. The only policy that matters is the managers policy, no matter what.
Pretty silly to blame the old timers for this when the managing director who initiated the email is much younger than 65.
Another comment hit it spot on. They know they will look bad when they’re employees click on the link, so they warn them to save face.
When a real threat comes through, employees will either reach out to management to ask if they should click or they’ll just do it because they weren’t warned not to.
The reason we have Managers like this is because the dinosaurs (65 and above) are in charge at the top. They have not come out of the Old school authoritian mentality and wants to pass it down to generation below working under the hierarchy .
Here is all the proof you'll ever need as to how much of a clown show it is working for this company
The reason managers send out a heads up is that if they have multiple people clicking on the emails, that shows that they are not good leaders. Therefore, they are at risk of a BE rating. It's all about self-preservation, ya know.
And this has what to do with layoffs? 🤪🤪
We have to because most of you have rocks in your heads and are incapable of thinking for yourselves. And you deserved your below expectations year end rating. Enjoy your .7% merit increase and Merry Christmas!
