Rant: That coworker who said 'just use the same password for everything'

Overheard a guy in IT last week telling a new hire to reuse their Gmail password for the payroll system... I almost choked on my coffee. That's how you get a ransomware attack that locks up everyone's pay stubs for a month. How do you even start convincing people that password managers aren't optional?

Used to be one of those "just be positive" people myself. Watching that play out in real life changed my mind real quick.
