...or even worse, security training that so negatively impacts timelines that important deadlines are missed. And, here's the punchline, its training for a methodology that is never actually implemented by the company.
RANT-ON
Although any professional should already be familiar with the usual suspects, I suppose companies can direct employees to read one of the countless pages covering the topic. This, in the (likely pointless) hope that they'll finally pay attention. That should require maybe an hour of effort.
Then, more importantly, companies should implement a continuing security review of code and run one of the automated auditing/scanning tools. This prudent expenditure of time/money, on useful quality assurance, usually seems to get de-prioritized.
Instead, companies prefer to spend 10 times as much time/money on training that does little other than provide a certificate they can cite when the inevitable liability case pops up.
Based on the number of folks, here in Q&A, who repeatedly ignore warnings about SQL injection, I maintain that a careful review/audit (not training) is the thing most likely to make an employee pay attention. Or, failing that, at least seek employment at a different company

The saying "that's wrong" once, saying "you idiot, that's wrong again" on the 2nd time and the kick in the ass at the third time.
That is what will do not only that employee but all other too to really pay attention

OK, you're right, I omitted the obligatory kick in the behind. So, let's make that kick in the behind third...then, seek employment at a different company

Never heard of it. But we do quality work every day of the year.

Yup. The British are once again free to refer to their Emulsified High-Fat Offal Tubes as "Sausages".
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Do you have awards for "Best Backstabber", "Best useless dick who does no work but spends half his time with the boss", and "Best idiot who jumps in on every new trend, no matter how inefficient or inappropriate it is"?
If not, you're discriminating against at least two-thirds of your colleagues, and have to be sent for re-education.

Quality is given a week, Physical Therapy is given a month, and Linux has been promised a year. Someone needs to work on his order of priorities!

So, I have two keyboards, one for Windows and one for MacPro, and a little button to push to switch the displays, because the Mac won't work with my KVM, even though its HDMI. Sometimes, I type on the wrong keyboard. Once, I hit delete. It didn't work, so I did it again. I am grateful for that little prompt: "Are you sure you want to delete the class file that you've been working on for a few days without backing up"?

World quality week? It does seem that the quality of the world has decline in the last few decades. I don't think the UN can do much about it.
