IT admins (and those involved in a company’s security) should be fired for deploying under-configured or misconfigured Windows installations on computers.
Microsoft in general should be fired from computers - their security is absolute garbage.

I kinda want to see you argue this one. With pop-corn.
There is a high skill level needed to configure Windows properly in enterprise settings. Regardless, I wouldn’t be working for an organization that trusts any Microsoft software.
Keep your popcorn ready though, it’s only a matter of time before Microsoft loses the security battle - unless Microsoft makes gigantic strides in a more sustainable direction.
I think their performance is relevant. Why would an employee be able to easily run an unknown binary from the internet to begin with? If the systems were properly configured to block this, there would be no issue. If I were an executive, I would absolutely be looking at my IT team in this case.
If the employee went entirely out of their way to run an unknown binary, bypassing OS-level restrictions, and sidestepping established procedures - then the employee should be fired.
If somebody can easily bypass work restrictions, they probably aren’t enforced or implemented properly.
That excuse won’t stop them from being fired. Just because you can does not mean you should.
Knowledge is knowing how to bypass work restrictions. Wisdom is knowing not to.
Just because I shouldn’t doesn’t mean I shouldn’t.

Irrelevant. The defense of “they should do better” will do jack to prevent the firing of someone that willfully circumvented company policy.
