Antiwork

Companies who trick their employees with anti-phishing software on the 2nd day of work are assholes.

Day 2 of the job, and they sent me a fake email from a company-titled email address saying that some of my payroll information wasn’t correct, and I needed to confirm the details. I can pick out phishing attempts with ease, but this looked 100% legitimate, and with it being the 1st week of employment, I was concerned that I wasn’t going to be paid due to something on my part. We had even exchanged some information and docs previously the day before about new employment forms and identification forms via email. All payroll info has been communicated via email up until this point. I clicked the link on the email and it pulled up a big red page and flagged my employee account for remediation training. Seriously, wtf??!
