If you don't have a friend whose password you can crack in 3 attempts, you probably either have no friends, or you're too self absorbed to actually know anything about your friends and retain the information.
Christ, I've had employees that I was able to figure out their password within 5 attempts before it has to be submitted to HR for reset.
Your complaint should be with the personal nature of the password the guy chose for something important, not that a couple of his best friends were able to guess it.

Sorry, but that's absurd. Personally, I don't have friends that dumb. And for any place of employment you really shouldn't allow your employees to use simple dictionary word passwords in this day and age. Password requirements are more important than ever. Even better, enable MFA. Having a system so weak that you are able to guess employee passwords means the IT department isn't taking it seriously enough. Not to mention, unauthorized access of user accounts can get you into legal trouble in many situations.
